Boriss Akunin „Azazel“ Moskva 1876. Noor mees astub pargipingil istuva kauni daami juurde ning palub teatraalselt luba teda suudelda. Naine keeldub ning noormees laseb ennast maha. Staažikas uurija peab juhtumit labaseks enesetapuks. Tema noor abiline Erast Fandorin näeb aga teos midagi enamat ning avastab uurimise käigus poliitilise vandenõu. «Azazel» on esimene raamat, kus lugejate ette astub tõeline riiginõunik Erast Fandorin, segu klassikalisest inglise džentelmenist ja vene intellektuaalist.

Kordamisküsimused. 1. Tööstuslik revolutsioon ja tööstusühiskond. Tekke põhjused, olemus, mõju ühiskonna arengule. Tähtsaimad 19. s leiutised ja nende tähtsus. Tööstusliku revolutsiooni olemus 18. sajandil leidsid aset põhjalikud muutused tehnoloogilises arengus. 1 põhjus: Uute kaupade toomisel hakati inimese töö asemel senisest enam kasutama masinaid. 2. põhjus: Seni tootmise veduriks olnud manufaktuurid hakkasid järg-järgult asenduma vabrikutega. See murranguline pööre tootmises kujuneski tööstusrevolutsiooni aluseks. Lisaks masinatele oli tootmise uuendamiseks vaja raha ning inimesi, kes masinatega tööle hakkaksid. Tootmise uuendamiseks oli vaja ka raha ning inimesi. Ühtlasi hakkasid vabrikute- ettevõtete omanikud järjest enam huvi tundma ka uute tehniliste leiutiste vastu ning nende väljatöötamist vähemalt osaliselt rahastama. Üleminek vabrikutootmisele nõudis hulgaliselt tööjõudu, mida saadi enamasti maalt. Ühiskonna tehn...

AMBER AND RUSSET - LATE COLOUR CHANGE GENES Copyright 2014, Sarah Hartwell The ancestors of the domestic cat were nondescript black/brown striped tabbies. Over the centuries, mutation produced a wide array of colours based on 2 different pigments. Eumelanin gives the blacks, browns and blues while phaeomelanin gives the reds, fawns and creams. A few other genes give further variations on those colours such silvers, colourpoints and solids/selfs. Mutations continue to occur and unexpected colours also turn up due to inbreeding where recessive genes, hidden for generations, start showing up. AMBER AND LIGHT AMBER During the 1990s, some purebred Norwegian Forest Cats in Sweden produced chocolate/lilac and cinnamon/fawn offspring. However, those colours are not found in the purebred Norwegian Forest Cat gene pool. Had the gene pool become polluted by someone, perhaps generations ago, breeding their Norwegian Forest Cat to another breed? ...
AFORISMID 1. Ära üritagi öelda , et sul on kahju või ära ürita teha kõike õigeks . Ära raiska oma hingetõmbeid , sest on liiga hilja , on liiga hilja 2. Kõik need momendid , mis on möödunud me üritame neid tagasi saada ja neid olematuks teha . 3. Ennast korrateski saab olla kordumatu isiksus! 4. Iga kõrkuse taga on oma nõrkus. 5. Kes julgeb ennast kõverpeeglist vaadata, sellele inimesele ei ole ka põhjust näpuga näidata. 6. Taganejagi komistab ja enamasti oma saamatuse otsa. 7. Tulijat iseloomustatakse välimuse põhjal, minejat tegude järgi. 8. Iseloomujooned vajavad soodsat pinnast, et täies hiilguses õide puhkeda. 9.

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...
Folkloristika 03.09 ,,Regivärsist netinaljadeni: sissejuhatus rahvaluulesse" Soovituslik kirjandus! Sissejuhatud rahvaluule mõistesse ja teadusloosse I Rahvaluule terminoloogia. Folkloori mõiste ja selle kujunemine Vanavara, ka vana vara termini tõi kasutusele Fr. R. Kreutzwald (1803-1882) 1861,a. Edukad inimesed ei tegelenud rahvaluulega, see on laste ja naiste pärusmaa. Tegi eesti keeles esimese üleskutse, et rahvaluulet koguda. Väärtustamine sai alguse rahvusliku ärkamisajaga. Propageeris laialt Jakob Hurt(1839-1907) (arusaam, rahvaluule on midagi vana ja väärtuslikku). Hurt on kõige olulisem rahvaluule(rahvamälestused) kogumise initsiaator. Folkloor Termini võttis kasutusele William John Thoms 1846.a. (ing.k folk + lore). Eestis kasutusel esmaslt toorlaenuna. Hakkas hindama rahva hulgas levinud teadmisi. 1878.a loodi esimene folklooriselts Inglismaal. Kreutzwalt kasutas sõna 'folklore'. Rahvaluule eelmise tõlke (vrd ka ...
