Big Ben When most people heat the words "Big Ben" they immediately conjure up an image of the striking Victorian Gothic structure of the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster (the Houses of Parliament). Let's clear up a common misconception first; technically speaking, the name "Big Ben" does not refer to the famous tower, nor to the four huge clock faces of this London landmark; instead, it refers to the largest of the five bells inside the clock tower, whose chimes are such a familiar sound to listeners to BBC radio over the years. The tower was begun following the disastrous fire which destroyed the old Palace of Westminster in 1834. Charles Barry was given the contract to rebuild the Palace, and his designs included a clock tower. The Tower

talus. Töö oli salalik. "Värvimata maalid" olid sageli vähem kui 25x15cm suurused ja olid värvitud täielikult akvarellidega ja tindiga. Sisuliselt Nolde stiil peitus tema intensiivses ja vääritu kunstilises isikupäras. Nolde emotsionaalset intensiivsust on kõige selgemalt näha tema paljudes maastike maalides, mis sisaldavad kirglikke akvarellvärve. Maalid jutustavad tema ekskursioone Uus-Guinea ja paljudest dramaatilistest maastikudest. Maal nimega Blue Bells (c.1935, 43x35cm) on ilus näide tema botaanilisest luulekunstist. Varred ja õied sulanduvad kahvatul violetsel taustal nagu siis, kui annaks välja aroomi. Need võivad tunduda küll töötlemata või juhuslikult tehtud, kuid ainult kunstnik tunneb, et ta on tuttav oma materjalidega ja teadis, kuidas saada kõige täpselt nii kuidas ta end tundis. Tõepoolest, Nolde on üks väheseid akvarell kunstnikke, kes otsis ettenägematuid vee koostisosana oma stiili

Trench - Kraav PANCAKE RACING Olney's famous race is run every Shrove Tuesday, featuring women who have lived in the town for more than 6 months. It dates back to 1445 and it is believed all began with a townswoman late for the Shriving service at the Olney parish church. She heard the church bells ring out for the service and she fled her house fearful of being late. She ran the distance down the High Street to make it to the parish church - still clutching her frying pan and wearing an apron. The Olney residents (women) compete in traditional apron, cap, and holding a fying pan with a real pancake. They must toss their pancake once at the start and once at the finish. For the fastest Olney runner, there's a prize - but there are prizes too for the oldest participant and the one who
Rowan Sebastian Atkinson is born on January 6th 1955, he’s 59 years old. He’s an English actor, comedian, and screenwriter who is best known for his work on the sitcoms Mr. Bean and Blackadder. He has been listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest actors in British comedy and amongst the top 50 comedians ever, in a 2005 poll of fellow comedians. Although he'd first appeared at Edinburgh when he was 17, Atkinson was spotted at the 1976 Festival by television producer John Lloyd, who went on to produce him in his first starring role - as one of the four members of the ’Not The Nine O'Clock News’ sketch team. This was followed by the huge success of Blackadder and its sequels which propelled Atkinson to star status. He then went on to create Mr Bean. A walking disaster, Bean was purely physical comedy, the opposite of Edmund Blackadder's polished dialogue. This clumsy character was a huge success and became another national trea...

(people and language) Traditionally, a true Cockney is anybody born within the sound of Bow bells (the bells of the church of St Mary-le-Bow). In fact the term is commonly used to denote people who come from a wider area of the innermost eastern suburbs of London and also an adjoining area south of the Thames. `Cockney' is also used to describe a strong London accent and it is associated with working-class origins. A feature of Cockney speech is rhyming slang : `wife' is referred to as `trouble and strife' and `stairs' as `apples and pears'. 6
the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site. It was designed by two architects. Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years. In 1453 Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into a mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features -- such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside -- were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It was in 1935 that the first Turkish President - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, converted the mosque into a museum. For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques.

The most valuable and significant feature of Charles church is the large fresco decorating the apse. It portrays Christ calling out to people, ’’Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest’’ written above. It is known to be the first fresco in Estonia made by an ethnic Estonian, Johann Köler, who completed the painting in 10 days on July 23, 1879. The oldest parts of the church are the tower bells. The north tower bell is a gift from the Swedish king Charles XII from 1696, it is the only remainder of the first wooden church. The southern tower bell is a donation by businessman I. E. Steinberg from 1870. Today, the church is mainly focused on raising funds to renovate their famous Walcker organ, originally insatalled in 1924. It is Estonias largest and only organ with 3 manuals and 32 pedal string registers. It is also known to be one of the
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 usually shies away from acclaim and the media, Huizenga had the opportunity to talk to the man. The journalist had also brought along a small bell and set it down on the table between them. When he gave it a little tinkle Pärt had said "Oh, this is a good beginning, thank you," in his heavily accented English. Pärt likes bells, literally and figuratively in his music. He also likes space and silence. Fans tend to use words like "timeless" to describe his contemplative music. But for Pärt, time has deep meaning. In conversation, as in his music, he takes his time to unclutter his thoughts. They come out like poems. "Time for us, is like the time of our own lives, it is temporary. What is timeless is the time of eternal life. That is eternal. These are all high words, and so, like the sun, we cannot really look
clock, which was built in 1858 to 1859. It is probably named, after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first Commissioner of Works. Big Ben is very heavy. It weights over 13 tons. The clock mechanism, alone, weights about 5 tons. The figures on the clock face are about 2 feet long. Charles Barry's design incorporated a clock tower. The dials were to be thirty feet in diameter, the quarter chimes were to be struck on eight bells, and the hours were to be struck on a 14 ton bell. Barry invited Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy, a clockmaker of reputation, to submit a design and price for constructing such a clock. No doubt Vulliamy was pleased to be the clockmaker of choice for what was then to be the largest clock in the world, but other enterprising firms were not happy with the manner in which they had no opportunity to compete for the contract.

19. sajandi teisel poolel oli sangpommidega harjutamine populaarne sportlaste, tsirkuseartistide ja isegi sõudjate seas. 1861. aastal soovitas Vilkins sooritada treeninguid sangpommidega. Sangpommitõstmine sai osaks ratsutamishallides ja areenidel. Sangpommidega treenimise suure populaarsuse tõttu hakkasid ka naised seda laadi sporti harrastama. Ajaloos on tuntud harrastajatena Ekaterina Brombah, Pedzhi Knaak, Ketti Roberts, Evgenii Vermke, Bells Dzhiny, Carolina Bauman, Dzhozefiny Blatt, Annas Abs, Maria Loors ja paljud teised sellistest riikidest, nagu Austria, Saksamma, Venemaa, Inglismaa, Prantsusmaa, Itaalia ja Ameerika. Sangpommi migratsioon Euroopas sai kindlaks harjumuseks Venemaal.

The Abbey's formal title is The Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster. The popular title `Westminster Abbey' continues to be used, even though there have been no monks here since the 16th century. The Dean of Westminster must give his permission for all burials and monuments in the Church. Ashes only are permitted. People who have served the Abbey in an official capacity, such as a Dean, a Canon, Organist or Surveyor of the Fabric may be buried there. The `Westminster chimes' are of the bells in the clocktower of the Houses of Parliament (or Palace of Westminster). The chimes are set out to music by Handel. Money to maintain the fabric and deal with the day-to-day running of Westminster Abbey is raised from entry fees, donations and investments. The Abbey receives about one million paying visitors per year and derives about 80 per cent of its funds in this way. The Abbey receives no funds from the State or from the Church of England.

Catherine Morland My name is Catherine Morland. I would like to tell you a bit about myself. To begin with, I am seventeen years old and grew up in a countryside in a small town named Fullerton with my parents and nine siblings. As a child I was interested in many things like drawing, sports and music. I was very lively and cheerful, enjoyed cricket, horse riding and just hated cleanliness and restriction. As I grew up, I chose reading over sports and all of the wild games I used to like. Undoubtedly, I would now describe myself with the word naivety. I am very naïve and do not notice the most obvious things happening around me. I really hope that it is caused by the lack of experience and will eventually pass. In addition, I find myself a kind and caring person because I always want and agree to help people when needed. Furthermore, I really like reading. Sometimes I think that I read too much because I often mix fiction up with reali...

8. East End The East End of London, generally refers to the area of London, east of the medieval walled City of London and north of the river Thames. Use of the term began in the late 19 th century and arose with the rapid growth of population in London, which lead to extreme overcrowding in the are and a concentration of poor people and immigrants. Many East Enders are ,,cockneys". A traditional definition is that to be a cockney, one had to be born within the sound of Bow Bells (a church in London's East End). 9. Conclusion London is a city of contrasts. Almost every race is represented in this old city and many languages all over the globe can be heard daily. It has long been one of the most important cities in the world. London is one of the world's leading business and financial centres and its influences in different aspects of life are comprehensible.
turned into a devastating force, which in turn ended up as iconoclastic movement. Thus the crowd destroyed the artistically valuable interior of the St. Olaf's Church in 1524. The church suffered no external damage. This church has a bitter record regarding fire. Lighting has set the spire on fire eight timesa nad fires have consumed everything but the walls on three occasions. The unusually tall building was struck by lighting in 1625. The fire destroyed the tower and the spire, the bells and the entire interior. Although only the walls remained standing, the church was re-opened in three years. The church burned completely down again in 1820 within only four hourd. Only the St. Olaf's library was miraculously spared. The restoration took 20 years this time and received personal support of the Russian Emperors Alexander I and later Nicholas I. The presend altar by F.L.

Assonance or vocalic alliteration Repetition of stressed vowels in neighbouring words. Like alliteration, it has melodious and emphatic qualities: 15 Tenderly bury the fair young dead ...(La Costa) Or: Forgive what seemed my sin in me. (Tennyson) Normally, assonance does not appear alone: it is accompanied by other means of sound orchestration, i.e alliteration, rhyme: Hear the sledges with the bells Silver bells What a world of merriment their melody foretells! (Poe) Some scholars have attempted to relate vowel sounds to the meaning they convey. The sound / I / , either alone or in dipthtongs, is said to produce the impression of lightness, airiness, brightness. The fields breathe sweet, the daisises kiss our feet, Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit ... (T.Nashe) The length of vowels is also relevant: long vowels tend to sound more peaceful or more
The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama. Anne Bradstreet of Massachusetts published some lyrical poems of high literary quality (1650) and Edward Taylor, who was born in England but lived in Boston, wrote some poetry in the style of John ...
He did great work. The result of his work made it possible for Morse to invent electromagnetic telegraph, for Bell to invent the telephone and for Edison to make electrical light. He requested during life that he be buried under a gravestone of the most ordinary kind. He was very smart man, who discovered many new things; despite of it he refused an offer of knighthood. He preferred to be plain Michael faraday. 6) NEW YEARS CELEBRATIONS New Year's Eve is a time for merriment. At midnight bells ring, horns blow, and friends exchange kisses. Everyone stays up late to celebrate the arrival of another January. Most Americans spend final hours of the old and first hours of the New Year dining and drinking with friends. One popular New Year's Eve drink is eggnog, yellow mixture, Made with eggs, milk or cream, and sugar. One of the nosiest and most crowded of New Year's Eve celebrations takes place in Times Square, New York City
The judgement on the evil force is given clearly, excitingly and convincingly.1 Recognising the specific possibilities and potential of his talent, Põldmäe gave little attention to symphonic music in his later creative works. The most extensive work during the period under observation is the Concerto-Symphony for percussion instruments and symphony orchestra (1981).2 A saxophone plus a rich choice from the percussion section including bongo, chimes, bells, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, crotales and slapstick are added to create many possibilities. The work is mainly based on a single theme, it is first 1 Antanas Rekašius.

A more precise image of the leading theme is offered at mark I (Violin solo). It will remain virtually unchanged: Example 197.
those that are married already, all but one, shall live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery, go. Exit OPHELIA O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown! The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword; The expectancy and rose of the fair state, The glass of fashion and the mould of form, The observed of all observers, quite, quite down! And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That suck'd the honey of his music vows, Now see that noble and most sovereign reason, Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth Blasted with ecstasy: O, woe is me, To have seen what I have seen, see what I see! Re-enter KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS KING CLAUDIUS Love! his affections do not that way tend; Nor what he spake, though it lack'd form a little, Was not like madness. There's something in his soul, O'er which his melancholy sits on brood; And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose Will be some danger: which for to prevent,
I'd already said my goodbyes to the sun. Charlie was waiting for me with the cruiser. This I was expecting, too. Charlie is Police Chief Swan to the good people of Forks. My primary motivation behind buying a car, despite the scarcity of my funds, was that I refused to be driven around town in a car with red and blue lights on top. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop. Charlie gave me an awkward, one-armed hug when I stumbled my way off the plane. "It's good to see you, Bells," he said, smiling as he automatically caught and steadied me. "You haven't changed much. How's Renée?" "Mom's fine. It's good to see you, too, Dad." I wasn't allowed to call him Charlie to his face. I had only a few bags. Most of my Arizona clothes were too permeable for Washington. My mom and I had pooled our resources to supplement my winter wardrobe, but it was still scanty. It all fit easily into the trunk of the cruiser.
3806. Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you. 3807. Life is just one damned thing after another. 3808. The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. 3809. Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. 3810. You don't marry someone you can live with you marry the person who you cannot live without. 3811. True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. 3812. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. 3813. When you have nothing left but love, then for the first time you become aware that love is enough. 3814. The hardest part of dreaming about someone you love is having to wake up. 3815. Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy, and not give everyone a damn 3816. Someone asked if i knew you, it was sad cause all i could say was, "I used to." 3817
suffering god or king. Tragedy comes from the word "tragos" or goat, because goats were often used as sacrificial stand-ins for the yearly sacrifice of the king. T h e Purgation phase of seasonal rituals was marked by cleansing the body and the environment as much as possible. People would bathe and anoint themselves with oil to symbolize the shedding of an old skin from the previous season. Houses and temples would be cleansed with water and fumigated. Bells and gongs would be rung to chase out unclean spirits. Fireworks have been used in China for centuries for this purpose. Purgation was both metaphorical and literal in these ancient societies. M e n tally and metaphorically, people were supposed to purge themselves of sour feelings, resentments, jealousies, and so on. But they were also supposed to cleanse the body of impurities by fasting and even by inducing vomiting.
" As he set his burger down, there was an eerie stillness to him. I couldn't begin to guess what he was thinking. "I assumed that was implied in our arrangement. But to avoid any doubts, I'll be clear and say there won't be any other men for you, Eva." A shiver moved through me at the blunt finality in his tone and the iciness of his gaze. I knew he had a dark side; I'd learned long ago how to spot and avoid men who had dangerous shadows in their eyes. But the familiar alarm bells didn't ring around Gideon as they maybe should have. "But women are okay?" I asked to lighten the mood. His brows rose. "I know your roommate is bisexual. Are you?" "Would that bother you?" "Sharing you would bother me. It's not an option. Your body belongs to me, Eva." "And yours belongs to me? Exclusively?" His gaze turned hot. "Yes, and I expect you to take frequent and excessive advantage of it." Well, then..
More praise for Influence: Science and Practice! "We've known for years that people buy based on emotions and justify their buying decision based on logic. Dr. Cialdini was able, in a lucid and cogent manner, to tell us why this happens." --MARK BLACKBURN, Sr. Vice President, Director of Insurance Operations, State Auto Insurance Companies "Dr. Cialdini's ability to relate his material directly to the specifics of what we do with our customers and how we do it, enabled us to make significant changes. His work has enabled us to gain significant competitive differentiation and advantage" -LAURENCE HOF, Vice President, Relationship Consulting, Advanta Corporation "This will help executives make better decisions and use their influence wisely ... Robert Cialdini has had a greater impact on my thinking on this topic than any other scientist." -CHARLES T...
becomes an e (•) and "individual" becomes "endividual," the recipient will know that an error was made because English lacks the Sequence "en- dividual." But if the language used were the hypothetical four-letter language, in which all sequences of four letters were used and therefore all were potentially acceptable in the message, the same dropping of a dot would go undetected. "Xfim," meaning perhaps "come," would be changed to "xfem," maybe meaning "go" and, without redundancy, no alarm bells would ring. (There is, of course, a higher order of redundancy—that mandated by context—which might sound the alarm. If "xfem" meant "green," it would not fit the context. A perfectly non-redundant language can therefore probably not exist, since at least a few basic agreements that a few recurring experiences of the real world will be represented by the same verbal symbols appear to be essential for communication.) Where the language has no redundancy—as with telephone numbers,
