The document summarizes the history of the telephone, beginning with its invention in 1875 by Alexander Graham Bell with his famous first words "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you". However, the document notes that some historians credit the invention to Antonio Meucci or Elisha Gray instead, as drawings from Bell's diary were similar to Gray's. Nowadays, telephones have evolved far beyond simple calling and include capabilities for sending messages, surfing the web, taking photos, and acting as small computers.

The climate in Poland is influenced by several key factors:
- Its location in the northern temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere and dominance of cyclonic winds.
- Being surrounded by seas to the north, west and south which moderate temperatures.
- Warm ocean currents and proximity to East Asia also affect the climate.
- Varied mountain ranges and shifting high and low pressure systems through the seasons.
Poland experiences a temperate climate with six distinct seasons and average annual rainfall between 550-800mm. Winds are typically weak to moderate but can be strong near coastal areas. Summers bring rain, hail and occasional thunderstorms while winters see frequent snow and morning frost.

SIR ORFEO READING GUIDE Sir Orfeo was probably written .docx
SIR ORFEO READING GUIDE
Sir Orfeo was probably written in the late thirteenth century, but the first copy we have of
it dates from the first part of the fourteenth, probably around 1330. It is one of the many
English texts in what we now call the Auchinleck Manuscript (National Library of
Scotland Advocates 19.2.1). This manuscript was produced for an educated, but not
aristocratic, family that, judging from the contents, was interested in having a book that
could provide religious or moral instruction, historical lessons, and entertainment:
alongside Sir Orfeo are many other romances, plus lives of saints (especially St. Mary
Magdalene and the Virgin Mary), chronicles of Alexander and Richard I, and debate
poems between a dead body and its soul and a nightingale and a thrush. It is likely that
the owners of the book acquired it because it has “something for everyone,” that everyone
in the family (even children) could read without having to have the specialized education
required to learn French or Latin.
Orfeo is a medieval retelling of the classical Latin myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Like
Beowulf and Gawain and the Green Knight, Orfeo fuses many different traditions together.
You have a modern English translation of the Latin myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses,
which was hugely popular in the Middle Ages, to compare to Orfeo. See below for extra
credit!
1.) What happens to Orfeo when Heurodis disappears?
2.) Where is the kingdom of the Fairy King found? Where have we seen this kind of
location before?
3.) What is the deal with the people Orfeo finds frozen in the fairy king’s hall?
4.) What are the terms of the agreement that Orfeo strikes with the Fairy King?
5.) How does Orfeo test the steward?
EXTRA CREDIT (5 points)
Read the selection from Ovid’s Orpheus and Eurydice on Blackboard. What are some
similarities between Ovid’s poem and Orfeo? What are some differences? Find at least
two of each. (“Orpheus is spelled differently” and similar do not count.)

The document discusses important American inventions including planes, cameras, and their history. Planes have evolved from hang-gliders designed by Da Vinci to the first controlled flight in 1903 and first flight with a passenger in 1908. Cameras started as early designs like the Camera Obscura around 1500 and the first commercially successful camera was invented by George Eastman in 1889, making photography widely available. George Eastman played a key role in popularizing manual cameras.

Samuel Colt was an American inventor born in 1814 who developed the first successful revolver. Before Colt's invention, guns could only fire one shot before needing to be reloaded. Colt received patents for his revolver design in both England and America in 1836. His revolvers helped the United States military succeed during the Texas Revolution and Mexican-American War. Colt's revolver became the iconic handgun design, providing multiple shots from a cylinder in a simple and powerful design that was well-suited for frontier defense and military use.

George Stephenson was an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public inter-city railway line in the world and directed the construction of the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail line. Some of his early prototypes for locomotives included "Locomotion", "Blucher", and "Mylord" but his most famous and successful design was "Rocket" which proved the viability of the steam locomotive for rail transport and accelerated the development of railways in Britain and elsewhere.

Kirkpatrick Macmillan was a blacksmith from Dumfriesshire, Scotland who is credited with inventing the bicycle in 1839. He came up with the idea of mounting pedals to the front wheel of a hobbyhorse, a child's toy consisting of a small frame with an axle and handlebars but no pedals. His first prototype resembled a hobbyhorse with pedals attached to the front wheel and steering handled mounted on the frame, representing one of the earliest known bicycles.

Samuel Colt was an American inventor born in 1814 who invented the revolver pistol. As a young man, he became interested in mechanics and disassembling devices to understand how they worked. While sailing to India, he came up with the idea for a revolving pistol and carved the first model on the ship. His early business ventures producing firearms and underwater mines failed, but orders from the Texas Rangers during the Mexican-American War expanded his business rapidly. By employing effective marketing strategies like art and educational programs, Colt became one of the wealthiest men in America and his company produced over 400,000 pistols before his death in 1862.

Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born scientist and inventor who is most famous for inventing the first practical telephone. He was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died in 1922 in Nova Scotia, Canada at the age of 75. Bell conducted many experiments with sound and the transmission of voices while working as a professor of elocution. In 1876, with the assistance of his assistant Thomas Watson, Bell succeeded in transmitting the first intelligible words by telephone, saying "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you." This achievement marked a major breakthrough in the development of long-distance communication.

Alexander Bell invented the telephone in 1876 when he uttered the famous phrase "Mr. Watson - come here - I want to see you" during an experimental demonstration on March 10th. The first telephone exchange was established in 1878 allowing subscribers to connect through operators. Since its invention, the telephone has evolved from manually operated phones that required connecting to exchanges, to automatic phones with dials, to today's variety of cellular, satellite, internet, and other wireless technologies that allow for remote communication.

Colt's revolvers were the first mass-produced and commercially available firearms, playing a significant role in the Mexican War and Civil War by allowing settlers to defend themselves against Native Americans and wild animals. Colt died in 1862 as one of the wealthiest men in America, though his company that manufactured the simple and easy to use revolvers, Colt's Manufacturing Company, still exists today as an iconic part of American industry and culture.

In 1886, Edison established the Edison Electric Light Company to develop the first electric power plants and urban lighting systems using his new bulb. Edison discovered the best filament material, which became tungsten, for light bulbs through experiments conducted at his laboratory in Menlo Park. The invention of the light bulb improved people's quality of life by providing brighter and longer-lasting lighting compared to kerosene lamps.
