Hip-Hop Hip-hop või hip hop on 1970. aastatel New Yorgist alguse saanud ja üle maailma levinud muusika- ja elustiil, mille juurde kuuluvad erinevad etnilise kuuluvuse, tehnoloogia, linnakultuuri ja poliitika elemendid. Hip-hopi kui muusikastiili alusepanijad olid enamuses afroameeriklastest või Puerto Rico juurtega latinodest DJ-d. Iseloomuliku intensiivse sünkopeeritud trummirütmiga tantsumuusikale lisati räppimine - keerukaid rütme ja erinevaid riimivorme kasutav laulev rääkimine. 1980. aastatel muutus hip- hop muusika elektroonilisemaks; kujunes hip-hop kultuur, kuhu kuulus räppimine, breiktants, muusika miksimine, grafiti, võistlevate muusikute ja DJde terav konfrontatsioon jm. 1990. aastatel tugevnes hip-hopis vastasseisu ja vägivalla element ning kujunes välja omaette alamzanr gangsta-rap, mis glamuriseeris suurlinnade kuritegelike jõukude tegevust. ...
1) Ülevaade (1-2 lehekülge oma teksti) YAR 2016 (New York) peamistest erisustest võrreldes eelmise YAR 2004 (Vancouver) versiooniga. Miks YAR 2004 ei leidnud populaarsust/kasutamist meresõitjate juures? When the YARs were last updated in 2004 at Vancouver there was, for the first time, a lack of consensus between the main commercial stakeholders regarding many of the changes, with shipowning interests also taking the view that the proposed changes were premature, given that the 1994 rules were only a decade old. The 2004 YARs were therefore incorporated in relatively few contracts of carriage. The YAR 2016 largely reflect the YAR 1994, which BIMCO has to date recommended as the basis for general average adjustments, while containing some useful clarifications and additions such as on low value cargoes. Importantly, it has been agreed that an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 4 percentage p...

Valuutaturg 1. Sissejuhatus Välisvaluutaturg ehk Forex ehk Foreign Exchange Market – teiste nimedega FOREX, FX, Spot FX või lihtsalt Spot – on maailma suurim finantsturg, mille päevane käive ulatub 4 triljoni USA dollarini. Võrdluseks: New York Stock Exchange’i päevane käive ulatub kõigest 153 miljardi dollarini. Forexi maht ületab kolmekordselt aktsia- ja futuurituru kombineeritult. Valuutaturgudel kaubeldakse sisuliselt rahaga, täpsemalt erinevate valuutadega. Samaaegselt toimub maakleri või diileri vahendusel ühe valuuta ostmine ja teise müümine ning valuutasid kaubeldakse paarides nagu näiteks euro-USA dollar (EUR/USD) ja USA dollar-Jaapani jeen (USD/JPY). Valuutaturul kauplemise sisuline eesmärk on spekuleerida ühe valuuta tugevnemise või nõrgenemise üle teise valuuta suhtes.

Film review "Scent of a Woman" 1992 by Martin Brest Scent of a Woman is the story of Frank Slade, a blind, retired army colonel who hires Charlie Simms, a poor college student on the verge of expulsion, to take care of him over Thanksgiving weekend. At the beginning of the weekend, Frank takes Charlie to New York, where he reveals to the student that he intends to visit his family, have a few terrific meals, sleep with a beautiful woman and, finally, commit suicide. Over the weekend, as they learn about life through their series of adventures, they start trusting eachother. Two absolute favourite scenes: The first is in the New York ballroom where the blind Lt. Colonel teaches a lady to dance the tango. It is so smooth and dramatic that even a couch potato is tempted to dance along. The second and most profound is the speech that Al Pacino makes in defense of Charlie at the prep school disciplinary hearing. It has to go down as...

Living in the Big Apple The Big Apple is a wonderful place to live but it has its own drawbacks. First and foremost, if live in the Big Apple you are exposed to the diversity of people, which gives you an oppurtunity to enrich yourself by seeing other cultures. Despite the fact that living in New York is a big financial struggle you can still have a lot of fun on budget. Furthermore, there are a lot of shops in New York which are open 24 hours a day, so everything is at your fingertips. On the other hand, there is a lot of pollution and noise in the Big Apple, but I think it's acceptable for a hudge city like New York. Besides the pollution and noise, there is a much bigger problem in the Big Apple and that problem is crime. It's becoming a dangerous place to live, but the clampdown on crime has improved the city tremendously. The agressive nature of New Yorkers is also a problem peole are pushing you out of the way on the subway or ...

The Silence And Awe Of Arvo Pärt Some time ago, when I was randomly browsing the internet, I found an article about Arvo Pärt attending a festival in New York. The article seemed interesting but I didn't exactly read it, because Arvo Pärt has always been a composer I respect and know of, but I haven't directly listened to his music or been to any of his concerts so it didn't strike my interest, but on the bottom of the same page was a review where a journalist described his music very vividly and colorfully. It was also very inspiring and so I started to search for more. The silence and awe of Arvo Pärt is an article written by Tom Huizenga. There he talks about Pärt's childhood and how he found his current style. The most important was what inspires him and they also had an interview: In the article he says that Pärt is a major composer and he was little nervous to meet him. Although the 78-year-old musician us...

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...

The History Of Flag Day The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America's birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'. On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a Fla...

Aastatel 1938.-1942. töötas Pollock Avalikus Kunsti Projektis. 1940.-ndatel kujunes Pollockil välja uudne ning täielikult abstraktsionismile allutatud stiil dripping (,,drip painting" ingl k). "Minu maal ei tule molbertilt. Ma pingutan oma lõuendi enne alustamist harva raamile. Eelistan seda asetada otse seinale või maha. Vajan kõva pinna vastupanu.

Abstraktne ekspressionism & Fotorealism { Tallinna Humanitaargümnaasium 12. A Tamm Maria Abstraktne ekspressionism 1950 ndatel aastatel peeti abstraktsionismi ainuvõimalikuks läänemaailma kunstivormiks. Kuigi kasutati erinevaid maalimisstiile, oli olulisel kohal emotsionaalne sisu, enda tunnete ja kogemuste väljendamine. Armastati ka suuri lõuendeid. Põhiliselt jaotatakse abstraktsed ekspressionistid kahte rühma: 1) Tegevusmaal kus kunstnikud kandsid värvi lõuendile hoogsalt. Rohkesti on nendes töödes nâha dramaatilisust ja emotsioone. 2) Värvivälja maalikunst teosed näevad välja "Nr.31" rahulikumad, kuid nendes on kasutatud värvuste Jackson Pollock, 19...

The United States of America (The U.S.A) Geography The main part of the United states extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It covers the middle of the North American continent. This area is called ,,the continental United states". The continental United States is bounded to the North by Canada and to the South by Mexico. The border with Canada is often called ,,the longest unguarded border in the world". The United States and Canada are good friends and they have very few problems in managing the border. The borded with Mexico is different. Immigrants are constantly crossing the border illegally. Every day about 2,000 of them are captured and sent back, but may others get through. There are also two states that are not connected to the continental United States. They are Alaska and Hawaii. There are two mountain ranges in ...
