On this picture are also spices Peppercorn , paprika , poppy seed, saffron, nutmeg , ginger, coriander, cumin 5 slajd Leaves of plants that lack woody stems. Typically, the green, leafy part of the plant is used in cooking. The plants are grown for their flavor and medicinal value. Some define herbs as plants with healing properties. 6 slajd From very early times, herbs have been used for healing. By the fifth century, people in England had 500 herbs they used as medicines. Around the 1600s, people started thinking about herbs in a different way. They looked at an herb and by its color and shape decided how to use the herb. This was called the Doctrine of Signatures. 7 slajd On this picture you can see some example of herbs: Basil, Mint , Sage , Dill , Cilanto , Bay , Lemon Grass 8 slajd What is the difference between herbs and spices? Spices and herbs are both from plants and are used in very small amounts to flavor food.
The Republic of Ireland covers five- sixths of the island. It is a parliamentary democracy and a republic. It is bordered to the northeast by Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean: particularly, the Irish Sea to the east, St George's Channel to the southeast, and the Celtic Sea to the south. The population of Ireland is estimated to be 6.2 million. Thick woodlands covered the island until the 1600s. Today, it is the most deforested area in Europe. Twenty-six mammal species are native to Ireland, with some, such as the red fox, hedgehog and badger, being very common. Others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten are less so. In 1801, Ireland became a part of the United Kingdom. A war of independence in the early 20th century led to the partition of the island, creating the Irish Free State, which became increasingly sovereign over the following decades
Was the British Empire a good thing that enlarged the world creating possibilities for everyone or was it just a way for some to gain power and wealth? How is the modern-day Commonwealth different? The British Empire used to be one of the largest and wealthiest empires in the world. Its prosperity started at the early 1600s and reached its high peak at the end of the World War I. The Empire faded into the Commonwealth at the end of 1930s as one colony after another gained its independence. After studying the topic I would say that it cannot be said whether the British Empire was a very good or a very bad thing. Of course any kind of oppression should not be approved of and actually the Empire and native British forced on their way of life and culture to the colonies
America has over 270 000 000 people and the population is still growing. Its people are called the "Americans". Nearly all of the Americans are descendants of immigrants who came to America from other countries. Most of the people live in towns, the population of the countryside is becoming smaller and smaller. African-Americans or "blacks" are descendants of slaves, who were brought by violence from Africa for sale in America. The slave trade began in the 1600s and was finally outlawed in 1808. There are about 24 million African-Americans in the country. In the 1950s and 1960s, blacks finally won the basic rights of all Americans. The first people who arrived in the Americas were the Native Americans. Many of them lived in small groups of about 20-50 people. Most of them were very peaceful people, who lived by hunting and collecting food. Other Native Americans lived in small villages, where they had farms. There are about two
Politically, the state Ireland (described as the Republic of Ireland) covers five-sixths of the island, with Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, covering the remainder in the north-east. The first settlements in Ireland date from 8000 BC. By 200 BC Celtic migration and influence had come to dominate the island. Relatively small scale settlement by both the Vikings and Normans in the Middle Ages gave way to complete English domination by the 1600s. Protestant English rule resulted in the marginalisation of the Catholic majority, although in the north-east, Protestants were in the majority. A famine in the mid-1800s caused deaths and emigration. Following a war of independence, Ireland was split into: the independent Irish Free State and Northern Ireland, which remains a part of the United Kingdom. The Free State left the Commonwealth to become a Republic in 1949. In 1973 both parts of Ireland joined the European Economic Community
He landed south of present day Sydney in New South Wales. He claimed this part of the land for the King of England. In 1851 gold was discovered about 300 km west of Sydney. People rushed to the gold fields to find their fortunes. This attracted robbers called bushrangers. The Aborigines are the Australian natives that had been living there for thousands of years before the first Europeans came to Australia in the 1600s. The flag of Australia is the only one to fly over a whole continent. The small Union Jack represents the historical link with Britain, the large seven-pointed star represents the six States and
S.A. and Canada, are joined together by short rivers or canals. They are connected with the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River, and with the Hudson River by a canal. In the west of the U.S.A. there is another big lake called the Great Salt Lake. Hawaii, a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean, has a tropical climate. Alaska is separated from the continental US by Canada. The history of the USA began when England started creating colonies in the North America in the 1600s. The colonies became independent States and joined to form the "United States" in the 1700s. The USA expanded westward in the 1800s and reached the Pacific Ocean. As it grew, it became the greatest industrial power in the world. It wanted to stay out of European problems, but in the two World Wars, it decided that it could not afford to let Germany win. In the 1940s it became the leader of the West and organized an alliance of the democracies. Today it is the only superpower left in the world.
Their only weapons were stone knives, simple spears and boomerangs. They raised no crops and had no herds of tame animals. For food they hunted and fished and gathered wild fruits and nuts. But their tribes had very wellworked-out customs. A few aborigines still live in the emptier part of the continent and follow the thousand-of-years-old customs of their ancestors. Dutch sailors stopped at several places on the northen and western coasts in the 1600s. They brought back word that the land was '' of very little use ''. First people in Australia were the ancestors of the current Aborigenes, who arrived from present-day Southeast Asia over 40,000 years ago. Most of these people were hunter-gatherers, with their own oral culture and spiritual values. They had a great respect of the land and a belief in the Dreamtime. As the population grew and new areas were explored, five largely self-governing
10.01.2016. 2Stefan Riedel, ‘’Edward Jenner and the history of smallpox and vaccination’’, https:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1200696/, 10.01.2016. 2 I think that knowledge in natural sciences can have less value to us when compared to human sciences even though it is, in most cases, produced with difficulty. There were many scientists that carried out experiments to study plant life. It was in the 1600s when the first reasonable hypothesis was made by Jan Van Helmont (although only partially correct), and it was only later in 1930s that Cornelis Van Niel was able to propose the general equation for photosynthesis.3 It has taken hundreds of years for scientists to make sense of photosynthesis, but we don’t really value this information and it isn’t of much importance to us, the ordinary people. An argument for this would be the importance of
personifications, such as Tane-mahuta, the lord of the forest, Tawhirimatea and Tangaroa, the Polynesian ocean god. Their villages were fortified with an open space in the centre were the whare hui or the meeting house was located. Maori history has never been written down, instead it was preserved in songs and chants, some of which like war chant or haka and challenge or wero, are still used today. The first European explorers arrived to New Zealand in the mid 1600s but in general it is said that Aotearoa was discovered by Captain James Cook. He arrived there in 1769 and grabbed the land for the British crown. From this came the flow of foreigners to New Zealand, first contacts with the Maori people were full of misunderstanding and conflicts. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the Maori and the British, with what the Maori accepted the British colonization in exchange for the protection of their lands.
Chicago. It is in the north-center of America. It gained fame a hundred years ago as a center for processing agricultural products and packing meat. Today it is also a center for the ,,commodities exchange" and ,,futures" market. These are innovative markets. Boston. It has a European look. It is the largest city in New England, the group of States along the northern part of the Atlantic coast. These States were among the first colonies in the 1600s. New Englanders think of themselves as the most moral and intelligent Americans. Boston is their cultural capital. Salt Lake City. It is the capital of the Beehive State, as Utah is called. Utah is mostly in fertile desert, rock and a lake that is too salty to support even fish. Yet the population is growing and it has the highest birthrate on the USA. There are 5 national parks and 14 Rocky Mountain ski resorts. Economy

The Discovery of Australia Duch sailors stopped at several places on the northern and western coasts in the 1600s. They brought back word that the land was "of very little use". No wonder they had that idea. The northern shores of Australia are near enough to the equator to be very hot. They get a great deal of rain. The hot, wet climate is one that white people cannot stand well. Much of the western coast is dry and barren. There is a great desert in Australia, and it comes down to the sea on the western and southern coasts. William Dampier was the first englishman to reach Australia
Marine hotel in Hermanus. There is crocodile on the menu and kudu, impala, even warthog at a number of restaurants that offer game. But there won't be seagull, mercifully, or penguin. Both were staple foods for the strandlopers (or beachcombers) - a community of Khoi who lived on the Cape shore - and the Dutch and Portuguese sailors who made landfall there. It was the search for food that shaped modern South Africa: spices drew the Dutch East India Company to Java in the mid-1600s, and the need for a half-way refreshment stop for its ships rounding the Cape impelled the Company to plant a farm at the tip of Africa. There are sections of Commander Jan van Riebeeck's wild almond hedge still standing in the Kirstenbosch Gardens in Cape Town. That farm changed the region forever. The Company discovered it was easier to bring in thousands of hapless slaves from Java to work in the fields than to keep trying to
AD 925 - The Netherlands became part of the Holy Roman Empire. 1100s - Trade and industry developed in the Netherlands and the country became a natural trading centre for Western Europe. 1516 - The Netherlands passed under Spanish control as Charles V, ruler of the Low Countries, became king of Spain. 1581 - The Protestant provinces of the Low Countries declared their independence. Spain and the Netherlands fought for years, until Spain recognized Dutch independence in 1648. 1600s - Dutch trade, culture, and empire prospered as the Netherlands became a leading world power. Amsterdam and Leiden became important European trading and cultural centers. 1714 - Exhausted by long, costly wars with France, the Netherlands began to cede control of the seas to England. However, the Dutch continued to control a vast global trading empire. 14 1795-1813 - France captured Amsterdam and occupied the Netherlands during the Napoleonic
What number mission was the first/last to land on the Moon? How many Apollo missions landed on the Moon? 3 What do you know about the following people: Harrison Schmitt; Alan Shephard; Eugene Cernan? 4 Which invention enabled the people on the Moon to travel long distances? 5 Have the Russians walked on the Moon? Though the exploration of Mars has taken place over hundreds of years, it began in earnest with the invention and development of the telescope in the 1600s. Increasingly detailed views of the planet from the Earth inspired speculation about its environment and possible life, even intelligent civilizations that might be found there. Probes sent from Earth beginning in the late 20th century have dramatically increased the knowledge of the Martian system. Engineering interplanetary journeys is very complicated, so roughly two thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars failed before completing their missions. But since 6 August 2012,
Don’t you just feel like crying when you know that the Caucasian has been able to develop weapons and technology capable of detecting the minutest details of what we are doing even in our homes? And yet, our so-called military, which continues to cause so much havoc all over the continent cannot even assemble an ordinary gun or the ammunitions that go with it? The collective irresponsibility of a race is what is so astonishing. Europeans came to Africa in the 1600s. They had already possessed the gun. Black people were still using the bow and arrow. Millions of Black people were killed and millions more were taken as prisoners. They were brought as slaves to the shores of America. We just entered the 21st century. The intelligence of a race comes into question when, after more than 500 years, the descendants of the people who were conquered still rely on the same enemy who killed millions of their people and took millions prisoners and slaves.
Prantsusmaa rahanduse ja kaubanduse alates 1666 kuni surmani. Ta ümber majanduse põhjalikult ja otsis koloniaalimpeeriumi kui ta tõi väga merkantilistlikest poliitika. Industrialiseerimine sai alguse, kui ta kaotas sisekaubanduse tõkked ja hakkas nn manufaktuure. Seal oli relvade tootmiseks ja luksuskaupade käsitsi, kuid suures ulatuses. Töötajate peeti sõjaväe ja oleks hoolikalt jälgida tööandja. Käsitöö tehased olid täiesti sõltuvad riigist ja kui majandus halvenes hilja 1600s, paljud tehased all. Mõned lyxinriktade tekstiilitööstus säilinud ja on juhtival kohal täna. Täna, Prantsusmaa on maailma neljas tööstusriigid. Tootmise mehhaniseerumine. Uute masinate kasutuselevõtmine nõudis raha ja inimesi, kes masinatega töötaksid. Raha, mida vajati uute ettevõtete vabrikute rajamiseks, saadi peamiselt kaubandusest. Masinate kasutuselevõtt, ka põllumajanduses, vabastas aga hulgaliselt inimesi, kes leidsid rakendust uutes vabrikutes. Nemad
Attempts of this sort grew so frequent by 1943 that the Navy had to warn its sailors that these "family codes," which were usually solved quite easily, could lead to severe penalties for the users. The third kind of open code is the geometrical. A Cardano grille places the message-bearing words in fixed positions on a page. The significant words can be placed at intersections of the lines of a geometrical diagram of specified dimensions. In the 1600s, Sir John Trevanion, a Cavalier awaiting trial and almost certain execution by Cromwell's forces, noted the third letter after each punctuation mark in a letter that his jailers had scrutinized before giving him arid learned that Panel at east end of chapel slides. He disappeared during vespers. And in World War II, captured U-boat officers spelled out secret messages in their letters home by breaking the flow of script after each significant letter.
