Eng: keep reviewing for book one (ch. 1-11) of TKMB; test tomorrow.

Global: keep studying for imperialism test on Friday.

ES: eccentricity lab tomorrow in class. Look at the cover of the esrt for the formula. Zero is closest to a circle for an eccentric path of a sate lite and closer to 1 (one) the path is more elliptical like the shape of a football.
Study the diagram, note an e of 0 makes a circular path, and as the eccentricity number increase toward 1 (one) ie: .77, the path becomes flatter and longer. Click the diagram to be teleported to a flash animation on planet eccentricity.

THE SEPOY MUTINY

The growing Indian discontent with British Imperialism finally erupted on May 10, 1857. The sepoys, who were Indians trained by the British as soldiers, heard rumors that the cartridges for their new Enfield rifles were greased with lard and beef fat. Since the cow is sacred to Hindus, and the pig is abhorrent to Muslims, all the sepoys were outraged, and they mutinied. Although initially the mutiny was spontaneous, it quickly became more organized and the sepoys even took over the cities of Delhi and Kanpur.
This mutiny was harshly crushed by the British. On September 20, 1857, the British recaptured Delhi, and in the following months, the British recaptured Kanpur and withstood a Sepoy siege of Lucknow. The British victories were accompanied by widespread atrocities, and in many cases, unarmed sepoys were bayoneted, sown up in the carcasses of pigs or cows, or fired from cannons.
