Eridanus Obligation
I have chosen the Eridanus constellation. I chose this constellation because I did a project on this constellation in muggle school a few years back. Eridanus is a river constellation. It is in the southern hemisphere. It is Greek for the Po river located in Italy. This is questionable because in ancient times, Eridanus was thought to be the Nile river, since it was so special. It's the 6th largest constellation we can see from Earth. The main star of this constellation is Archernar, also known as the "end of the river" because it is at the bottom end of Eridanus. This star is the 9th brightest star in the night sky and is also the flattest known star because it spins so fast.

The story behind this constellation is quite interesting. Helios,

    Observation Of Cassiopei The Seated Queen

    I have chosen the constellation Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen. I chose this constellation because it was an unknown constellation to me until I studied the first lesson of Astronomy. The name Cassiopeia: The Seated Queen sparked my interest, and so I decided to find more information about this fascinating constellation. Cassiopeia is located in the Northern sky and is easily recognizable by its distinctive "M" shape. It is made up of five stars, the four brightest of which are: Alpha Cassiopeia, Beta Cassiopeia, Gamma Cassiopeia, and Delta Cassiopeia. It is bordered by Andromeda to the south, Perseus to the southeast, and Cepheus to the north. It is opposite the Big Dipper.…

    Similarities Between Lupus And Centaurus

    My favorite animals are owls and wolves. So, when I found that there were no constellations of owls (there should be, though, in my opinion), I chose the constellation of the wolf, or Lupus. This constellation also reminds me of Professor Lupin, who was also my favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the Harry Potter books. I think that J. K. Rowling intended that to be, since Lupus means Wolf in Latin. Lupus can be found between the constellations of Centaurus and Scorpius. The Lupus constellation is home to some remains of a supernova, some globular clusters, and the Retina Nebula. It also contains two stars that have planets.…

    across the boughs. As in the winter's cold, among the woods the mistletoe-no seed of where U grows-is green with new leaves, girdl11g the tapering stems with yellow fruit: just so the gold leaves seemed against the dark-green Hex; so, in the gentle wind, the thin gold leaf was crackling. And at once Aeneas plucks it and, eager, breaks the hesitating bough and carries it into the Sibyl's house. Meanwhile along the shore the Teucrians were weeping for Misenus, offering their final tributes to his thankless ashes.…

    An Essay on Equus

    Equus is as complex as the human mind. Exploring psychological questions such as what does it mean to be normal, and should individuality be sacrificed for the sake of normality? Whilst propelling a mystery, crime story, and a psychological thriller, Peter Shaffer's Equus examines the minds of a young stable boy who has blinded several horses and the aging psychiatrist asked to "cure" him. But would a "cure" really normalize the teenager?…

    Actus Reus

    Actus Reus  The physical element of a crime: o An act o An omission (failure to act) o A ‘state of affairs’ Conduct, consequence, circumstances. To complete an offence, mens rea is also needed. Strict liability offences do not require mens rea. A ‘state of affairs’ is an involuntary act: o Larsonneur 1933- D ordered to leave UK; brought back to UK against her will but Irish police. Convicted, despite involuntary act. Actus reus must be proved: o R v Deller 1916- D thought he’d mortgaged car, and so was lying to buyer. Car not mortgaged- mens rea for false pretence but no actus reus. Conduct generally must be voluntary to constitute actus reus. Coincidence of actus reus and mens rea: o Thabo Meli v R 1954- Ds plied V with drink; hit him intending to kill. Pushed V off cliff, where he died from exposure. Privy Council held that entire event was one continuing actus reus. o R v Le Brun 1991- D hit wife intending to injure. Her death actually resulted from D dragging her from the car, where she hit her head on the ground. Manslaughter conviction- two acts part of same sequence despite time gap. o R v Church 1966- D fought V; knocked her unconscious. Assumed she was dead and threw her into river where she drowned. Manslaughter. Omissions Normally, only voluntary acts can constitute actus reus. However, a ‘state of affairs’ can be sufficient for actus reus. Omissions- failing to act. There is only criminal liability for the failure if there was a duty to act; the crime must also be a result crime (e.g. murder). Six different duties. A statutory duty: an act of Parliament can create liability for an omission, e.g. failing to report a road traffic accident. Examples include s.1 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, the Domestic Violence, Crime, and Victims Act 2004 and the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991: o Greener v DPP 1996- D guilty under Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 for failing to take precautions when restraining a dog that escape and bit a child. Common Law Duties: A…
