Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll The BLACK kitten had once again made a mess in the living room with a ball of worsted you see it could have not been the white kitten, Snowbell, as she was having her face washed by Dina. Alice caught the black kitten and settled into an arm-chair to wind up the worsted again. Soon forgetting all about it she started wondering if Kitty could play chess. And thus her favourite game of "Let's pretend" started. Suddenly the Looking-Glass House caught Alice's attention. She had always been wondering about the Looking-Glass world. It was so tempting. Without even noticing she was on the mantelpiece and through the looking-glass. The room was quite uninteresting and untidy. But there were some interesting things the pictures on the wall were alive and so were the pawns on the chessboard and the words in the book were only...
Giza Pyramid The Pyramids of Egypt are the largest constructions ever built and they are one of the most potent and enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. They were buildings, where the dead kings and queens were placed. The pyramids were built between 2575-2465 BC. There were used 2, 3 million blocks of stone to build the Great Pyramid. Each block of stone weighed 2.5 tons and about 20 men transported it. There was about 100,000 men working there and it took about 20 years to build the Giza pyramid. This is the formula of setting the blocks to the Giza Pyramid : 2,400,000 stones used ÷ 20 years ÷ 365 days per year ÷ 10 work hours per day ÷ 60 minutes per hour = 0.55 stones laid per minute. Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops". People believe that the architect of the Great Pyramid is Khufu'...

Viiuldaja katusel Jerry Bock Loo sisu Viiuldaja katusel põhineb juudi kirjaniku Sholem Alejechmi jutustusel ,,Piimamees Tevje". Muusikali tegevus toimub 20. sajandi alguses. ,,Viiuldaja katusel" lugu hakkab hargnema väikses traditsioone austavas juudi asunduses Anatevkas, mis asub kusagil Kiievi lähistel. Muusikali põhiteemaks on muutuvad ajad ja inimesed muutuste keerises. Loo peategelane on filosoofikalduvustega piimamees Tevje, kes üritab traditsioonide kohaselt korraldada oma pereelu, muuhulgas tuleb tal panna mehele viis tütart. Kui vanim tütar Tzeitel palub luba abielluda vaese rätsepaga ja põlgab ära talle välja valitud keskealise varaka lihuniku, peab Tevje valima tütre õnne ja iseenda unistuste vahel. Kasutatud muusikat: ,,Tradition" ,,Matchmaker" ,,If i were a Rich Man" ,,Sunrise / Sunset" ,,Do you love me?" ,,Lechaim" ,,Sabbath Prayer" ,,Tevye´s Dream" ,...

Argumentative essay Should monarchy be abolished in Britain?! The monarch's power over the nation has fallen so drastically that nowadays Britain's political system is described as constitutional monarchy. In fact the power is reduced so much that it is argued weather monarchy is needed at all. Firstly, kings and queens have been a part of Britain for centuries so the idea that royal families should no longer exist just does not seem right. I strongly believe that abolishing monarchy will cause more problems than it solves. The biggest impact will be the major fall in truism. Nearly everyone I know who have been to England have gone there to visit some part of the monarchy related attractions. Secondly, to my mind, monarchy is a symbol of military and political power. To this very day there are countries whose flags are market with Great Britain's flag. The most notorious of those is of course Australia. From the ...

Great Pyramid of Giza The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that survives mostly intact. Originally the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been different scientific and alternative theories regarding the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction theories are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place. There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished. The so-call...

RETSENSIOON Mina käisin 31. juulil 2012. aastal vaatamas Red Hot Chili Peppersi konsertit, mis toimus Tallinna Lauluväljakul. Koos peaesineja, Red Hot Chili Peppersiga, oli ka kaks soojendusesinejat: Eestist pärit rokkbänd `'Elephants From Neptune'' ja Suurbritanniast pärinev `'The Vaccines''. Kontsert, koos kahe soojendus- ning peaesinejaga, kestis kokku u. 4½ tundi, kusjuures väravad avati juba kell 16.00. Kontserti ametlik algus oli 19.00 ning lõpp 00.30. Red Hot Chili Peppers on neljaliikmeline rock-bänd, mis on võitnud mitu Grammy auhinda. Bänd on pärit Californiast ja moodustati aastal 1983 Los Angeleses. Hoolimata sellest, et bänd on üle elanud mitmeid probleeme nii äri- kui ka eraelus, on siiski suudetud luua kompaktne saund, mis kombineerib punki, funki, heavy metalit, räppi, popi ja psühhedeelset rocki. Praegused liikmed on Anthony Kiedis (vokalist), Josh Klinghoffer (Kitarr, taustavokaal), Michae...

Halle ja Hamburg Georg Friedrich Händeli isa Georg Händel oli tunnustatud habemeajaja, kirurg ja Saksi-Weisenfelsi hertsogi õukonnaarst. Helilooja ema Dorothea Taust pärines kirikuõpetaja perekonnast. Taust oli Georg Händeli teine naine ning tulevase helilooja sünnihetkel oli Georg juba 63-aastane. Kõik, mis on tänaseks teada Händeli lapsepõlvest, pärineb tema esimeselt biograafilt John Mainwaringilt, kes kogus mälestusi Händeli sekretärilt John Christopher Smithilt ja heliloojalt endalt. Mõni Mainwaringi raamatus esinev väide on aga hiljem ümber lükatud. Hä...
Suurlinnad maailmas (linnastumine) 8.b klass Sisukord 1.Sisukord 2.Sissejuhatus 3.Linn 4.Linnastumine ehk urbaniseerumine 5.Tokyo 6.New York 7.Sõul 8.Kokkuvõte 9.Kasutatud allikad. Sissejuhatus See teema sattus meile loosiga. Ise oleksime valinud võibolla midagi muud. Selles töös räägime linnastumisest ja sellega seotud probleemidest, samuti rahvaarvult suurematest linnadest maailmas. Rahvaarvult suuremate linnade nimed on võetud geograafia õpikust, sellekohasest tabelist, nende linnade rahvaarv on võetud internetist. Töö põhieesmärgiks on enda harimine ja teadmiste kogumine endale, eesmärgiks on ka uurida, kas linnastumine on hea või halb, lisaeesmärgiks on ka hea hinne. Tööks kasuame peamiselt interneti ja geograafiaõpiku materjale. Põhilisi internetiaadressed ei oska enne tööd öelda. Kasutame google otsingut ja vaatame, mis...

MAINORI KÕRGKOOL Disaini õppesuund Graafilise disaini eriala Enrico Järna METROOKAART KUI GRAAFILISE DISAINI ZANR Ainetöö Juhendaja: Tõnu Kaalep Tartu 2010 Metrookaart kui graafilise disaini zanr Metrookaart kui graafilise disaini zanr Sissejuhatus Ainetöö on kirjutatud teemal ,,Metrookaart kui graafilise disaini zanr". Valisin eelnevalt nimetatud teema, kuna see tundus minu jaoks väga huvitav . Arvestades seda, et see ei ole väga aktuaalne, siis otsustasin ainetöös pigem keskenduda metroo kaardi tutvustamise ja anda kogu tekkimise ajaloost lühikese ülevaate. Töö eesmärgiks on tutvustada metrookaardi ajalugu, selle loomisega kaasnenud tagasilööke ning mehi, kes selle taga olid. Koostan ülevaate metrookaardi mõjutustest muudes ku...
STOP VIVISECTION! STOP ANIMAL TESTING! Vivisektsioonid on loomakatsed, mille vastu võitlevad loomakaitsjad paljudes maailmariikides. Iga aasta teaduslaborites hukkuvad miljonid loomad karmide katsete tulemusel. Loomadel katsetatakse ravimeid, kosmeetikat, relvi. Oma julmuselt vivisektsioonid ei jää alla teistele loomade piinamise vormidele. Kasse, koeri, rotte, hiiri, hamstreid, ahve, küülikuid ja teisi loomi piinatakse kuni nad surevad. Elusloomadel lõigatakse nahk lahti, neid piinatakse elektriga, pannakse söövitavaid aineid silmadesse, kõrvetatakse keeva veega ja kui nad veel hingavad võetakse nahk maha, purustatakse pead, murtakse konte, - see pole veel täiuslik nimekiri meetmeid, mida vivisektorid kasutavad. Loomakaitsjatel on olemas video- ja fototõendid. Vivisektsioonidel on palju alternatiive. Rahvusvaheline organisatsioon ,,Tudengid humaanse hariduse eest" on välja andnud kataloogi, milles on 400 alternatiivi vivisektsioonidele...

Inglise keel kui normitud kirjakeel Enn Veldi Tartu ülikooli inglise filoloogia õppetooli dotsent Inglise keele puhul ei saa rääkida riiklikust keelekorraldusest. NIMELT Ei ole olemas Briti, Põhja-Ameerika ega ka rahvusvahelist inglise keele akadeemiat. AGA Prantsuse Akadeemia eeskujul püüti küll kunagi keelekorralduslikku akadeemiat luua ka Inglismaal ja Ameerikas, kuid need katsed luhtusid. SEEGA Seepärast ei saa inglise keele puhul ükski ametkond ära keelata näiteks prantsuse võõrsõnade kasutamist ingliskeelsetes restoranimenüüdes. Ei eksisteeri ka keelepolitseid, kes võiks eksimuste eest trahve määrata. Inglise keele normid põhinevad tegelikul keelekasutusel; kasutuselolevate normide kogu moodustab standardi. NIMELT Õigekeelsusnorme kirjeldavad sõ...
THE CITY OF LONDON History The City of London occupies one square mile in the middle of the capital. It once made up entire town of London, surrounded by the wall first built by Romans. The Romans also built a bridge over the Thames and there has been one in the same area ever since. The Roman Londinium grew up on the northern side of the bridge. In AD 61 the native Celtic tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans. They burnt down Londinium to the ground and killed most of its inhabitants. Roman armies eventually defeated Boudicca and Londinium was rebuilt. At the end of the fourth century AD the Roman Empire began to crumble and the Roman armies were recalled from Britain to defend Rome itself. Once they had left, tribes such as Angles, Saxons and Jutes invaded and settled in from Holland, Germany and Denmark. Together they are known as Anglo-Saxons. They were farming people who pr...
Main Sights England is known for its many world-famous sightseeings and people all around the world come to see them. Some of them are even like symbols of England. The most famous ones are: Stonehenge is one of the greatest national icons of Britain. That prehistoric monument is located in the plain of Salisbury, in the county of Wiltshire in the south-west of England. It is built of 150 enormous stones which are set in a purposive circular pattern. Stonehenge was probably built to mark the longest and shortest day of the year because it lies on the line of the midsummer sunrise and the midsummer sunset. That would have enabled people to keep a record of changing of seasons. Although it is still unclear who built it. Hadrian’s Wall is an ancient wall which was built in 2nd century by Hadrian, the emperor of Rome from AD 117 to 138, and it marked the northern border of the Roman Empire in Britain. The wall was 80 Roman miles (117 kilom...
Võrdlev õigusteadus eksam 29.05.2011 1. Equity 14. sajandi Inglismaal, kuninglike kohtute arenedes, seisis kohtumõistmise süsteem veel erinevate probleemide ees- esines tunnistajate äraostmist ja hirmutamist, liiga jäika reeglite rakendamist ja erapooletuse mitte kasutamist tulenevalt menetluse osalise staatusest. Sellistele puudustele sooviti leida lahendust. Kuna puudusid kindlad kirja pandud apelleerimisreeglid, hakkasid inimesed, kes arvasid, et neile on ühel või teisel viisil kohtuotsusega liiga tehtud, pöörduma otse Kuninga poole oma muredega, et saada arvamus oma tüli lahendamise kohta ja need pöördumised olid väga erinevas vormis, sest puudus ühtne alus. Kuningas hakkas saatma inimesi, kes siis arvasid, et neid on kuidagi ebaõiglaselt koheldud Kantsleri, kui kõrge ametiisiku jutule, eesmärgiga võimaldada Kantsleril teostada kontrolli oma vastutusala piires. Praktikas hakkasidki osapooled pöörduma o...
London History The Romans AD 43- AD 410 The Romans finally invaded Britain in AD 43 from Kent. The Romans lead by Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain twice before that in 55 and 54 BC but the invasions were unsuccessful. They made their way to the river Thames and sailed up it. The Romans knew it was important to control a crossing point at the river Thames, so they decided to build a settlement on the north bank. Although small settlements had been built on the banks of the Thames, the Romans were the ones who built the first city. They called their city Londinium. The Roman engineers noticed that the point where the swampy river narrowed would make an ideal crossing point, they built London Bridge. Less than 20 years later the native Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans in revenge for mistreatment and burnt Londinium to the ground. The well disciplined Roman army defeated her forces and Londinium was r...
Style The term style is a polysemantic one. The latin word ,,stilus" meant a writing instrument used by the ancients for writing on waxed tablets. Already, in classical latin the meaning of style was extended to denote the manner of expressing one's ideas in written or oral form.

Style of symbolism, romanticism 3. the use of language to pick a literary genre-comedy, novel, drama, O.D (poetic form) etc. 4. the selective use of language that depends on spheres of human activity fiction, scientific prose, newspape...
