Eva Kor arrived at Auschwitz with her mother and twin sister in 1944, when she was just 10-years old. That day on the selection platform was the last time she would ever see her mother again.

Gay rights According to an opinion widely held, homosexuality is said to be freer today than ever before. It is present and visible everywhere: in the street, in the newspapers, on television, at the movies. It is even supposedly completely accepted, judging by the recent legislative advances made in many countries for the recognition of same sex couples. Certainly, some work remains necessary in order to eradicate the last vestiges of discrimination. But with changing public opinion, it will only be, according to some people, a matter of time, the time needed for a movement begun many decades earlier to achieve its goals. To tell the truth, the 20th century has undoubtedly been the most violently homophobic period of history: deportation to concentration camps under the Nazi regime, Soviet gulags, blackmail and persecution in the United States in the McCarthy era... Obviously, all of that can seem very distant to us now. But quite oft...

Theodore Roosevelt Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 January 6, 1919;) was the 26th President of the United States. He is well remembered for his energetic personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the Progressive Movement, model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" image. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. Before becoming President (19011909) he held offices at the municipal, state, and federal level of government.

Born to a wealthy family, Roosevelt was an unhealthy child suffering from asthma who stayed at home studying natural history. In response to his physical weakness, he embraced a strenuous life. He attended Harvard, where he boxed and developed an interest in naval aff...
All forms of Media Assuming you mean Broadcast Media, the single most important function of Media is to report events as they are happening. The advantage of this is that more people can be informed and therefore involved in the happenings of the day. But like any other facet of life these wonders can be corrupted by those with their own agenda. That is to say that a news agency can choose to omit some things from their broadcast to place a particular "spin" on the events. Using 9-11 as an example: Everyone saw the planes crash into the buildings but none REALLY knows why this happened. Same with the assignation of JFK. Information can be repressed or expounded to create misinformation that leaves us all wondering why. Mass Media refers to all forms of media that are open to and accessible by the public. This includes newspapers, television, internet, magazines, radio etc. Following are the advantages and disadvantages of mass media t...

TALLINN UNIVERSITY The Law School Law The European Union Law The EU institutions Lecturer: Matti Kauppi Student: Viktoria Gratšjova Tallinn, 2014 The institutions of the European Union form a complex and unique polity and, in determining whether or not this structure and the law making powers granted to each respective institution are inherently undemocratic, it is vital to define what is meant by the term ‘democratic’. In his Gettysburg address Abraham Lincoln referred to a government which was ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’and it is by this criterion that democracy is often judged. These principles are reflected in having equal access to power and in being equal before the law. It must be considered not only whether law making powers are granted to elected persons, but also whether the balance of power between institutions within the...

TARTU ÜLIKOOL Pärnu kolledz Ettevõtluse osakond nimi EP 1 TÖÖTUS EESTIS Referaat Juhendaja: Pärnu 2011 SISSEJUHATUS Antud teema valikut põhjendatakse vajadusest uurida töötuse olukorda Eestis käesoleval aastal ning võrrelda tulemusi eelnevate aastatega. Kasutatakse andmeid, mida ei loeta nii täpseteks, et saaks ideaalse ülevaate tegelikule töötute arvule, kuna kasutatakse statistilisi andmeid. Uurimuse eesmärgiks on uurida tööpuuduse olemust, pakutavaid teenuseid töötutele, erinevaid tööpuuduse liike, statistilisi andmeid tööpuuduse ja töötute kohta ning tööpuudust noorte seas. Eesmärgiks on ka jõuda lõpuks järeldusele, et kui kriitiline on olukord tööpuudusega ning mis seda põhjustab. Uurimuseks vajalik informatsioon kogutakse enamasti eestimaistest, kui ka välismaistest artikklitest. Töös kasutatakse statistilisi andmeid, mis pärinevad kõik Statistikaam...

Gea Suumann Teenistuslik järelevalve kohtunike üle Õigusemõistmine sõltumatu kohtu poolt on põhiõigus, mis on sätestatud mitmes rahvusvahelises inim- õigusalases dokumendis.*1 Ka Eesti Vabariigi põhiseaduse § 4 sätestab, et Riigikogu, Vabariigi Presi- dendi, Vabariigi Valitsuse ja kohtute tegevus on korraldatud võimude lahususe ja tasakaalustatuse põhimõttel. Põhiseaduse § 146 kohaselt mõistab õigust ainult kohus. Kohus on oma tegevuses sõltu- matu ja mõistab õigust kooskõlas põhiseaduse ja seadustega. Kuigi kohtud on sõltumatud ning õigusemõistmist häiriv tegevus kohtu lähikonnas on keelatud *2, on võimude seaduslikkuse ja tasakaalustatuse põhimõttest lähtuvalt ka kohtuvõimu tegevust võimalik seadusest tulenevatel alustel kontrollida. Halduse kontrolli all mõistetakse avaliku administratsiooni üle teostatavat järelevalvet, mille ...
Hiljuti USAs aset leidnud sündmuste ülevaade Obama kirjutas alla seaduseelnõule, mis suurendab USA võlalimiiti President Obama kirjutas alla Kongressi mõlemast kojast läbi pääsenud seaduseelnõule, mis laseb valitsusel laenata rohkem raha, et maksta sotsiaalkindlustushüvitisi ja riigitöötajate palkasid. Seega on riigi rahandusministeeriumil võimalus laenata $17.2 triljoni piirini, ilma et sellega kaasneksid eelarvekärped muude valdkondade arvelt nagu Obama juhitud tervishoiureform (BBC News, 13.02.2014). Samuti kirjutas president alla eelnõule, mille raames taastatakse nooremate veteranide hüvitised varem kehtinud tasemele. (NBC News, 16.02.2014) Samasooliste paaride õigused Kuu aja jooksul võtsid kahe USA osariigi Kansase ja Arizona kojad vastu sarnased eelnõud, mille kohaselt ei ole nimetatud osariikide ettevõtjad sunnitud pakkuma teenuseid samasoolistele paaridele, kaitstes sellega teenusepakkuja religioosseid uskumusi. Eelnõu...

Some of the things you will learn in THE CODEBREAKERS • How secret Japanese messages were decoded in Washington hours before Pearl Harbor. • How German codebreakers helped usher in the Russian Revolution. • How John F. Kennedy escaped capture in the Pacific because the Japanese failed to solve a simple cipher. • How codebreaking determined a presidential election, convicted an underworld syndicate head, won the battle of Midway, led to cruel Allied defeats in North Africa, and broke up a vast Nazi spy ring. • How one American became the world's most famous codebreaker, and another became the world's greatest. • How codes and codebreakers operate today within the secret agencies of the U.S. and Russia. • And incredibly much more.
