rail; an additional six stations that were on the East London line are served by Underground replacement buses. Fourteen Underground stations are outside Greater London, of which five (Amersham, Chalfont & Latimer, Chesham, Chorleywood, Epping) are beyond the M25 London Orbital motorway.

It rotates at 26 cm per second so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.

In my essay I am going to talk about the United States of America. The USA was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492. It is situated between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. It is the world's fourth largest country by size (after Russia, Canada and China) and the third by population (after China and India). The third largest citys in the US is: New York (NY) with a population of 8,175,133 and nicknames like The Big Apple, The City That Never Sleeps. It is composed of five boroughs: Manhattanthe home to Central Park and most of the city's skyscrapers, The Bronx, Brooklyn with a distinct downtown neighborhood, Queens the only large county in the United States where the median income among African Americans is higher than that of White Americans and Staten Island The Staten Island Ferry where you can see The Statue of Liberty ( a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886
English and Scottish Protestant settlers. As the military and political defeat of Gaelic Ireland became more clear in the early seventeenth century, the role of religion as a new division in Ireland became more pronounced. From this period on, sectarian conflict became a recurrent theme in Irish history. The overthrow, in 1613, of the Catholic majority in the Irish parliament was realised principally through the creation of numerous new boroughs, all of which were Protestant-dominated. By the end of the seventeenth century all Catholics, representing some 85% of Ireland's population then, were banned from the Irish parliament. Political power rested entirely in the hands of a British settler-colonial, and more specifically Anglican, minority while the Catholic population suffered severe political and economic privations. In 1801, this colonial parliament was abolished and Ireland became an integral

or British Parliament, is the supreme legislative body in the United Kingdom, British Crown dependencies and British overseas territories. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and its territories. Its head is the Sovereign of the United Kingdom (currently Queen Elizabeth II) and its seat is the Palace of Westminster in the City of Westminster, one of the Boroughs of the British capital - London. Tower of London The Tower of London, officially Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London.

society were allowed to take part in the democratic process, these were male landowners and men who could afford to rent property over a certain rateable value. During the 18th century, the House of Commons did not come close to representing the actual distribution of the population and wealth across the country. The system was synonymous with corruption and bribery and according to Thompson (1963, pp. 888 - 901) the "rotten boroughs" such as Gatton in Surrey had only seven voters and returned two members of parliament. The franchise was only available to an elite group, clearly illustrating that the majority were excluded and unable to give their consent to parliament process.

The GLA is responsible for strategic planning, policing, the fire service and most aspects of transport and economic development. It consists of two elected parts the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, who can accept or reject the Mayor's decisions and his budget proposals each year. The 33 local authorities are the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. They are responsible for local services not overseen by the GLA, such as local planning, schools, social services, local roads and refuse collection.

vary wildly, so comparisons should be made with caution. History of homelessness In the sixteenth century in England, the state first tried to give housing to vagrants instead of punishing them, by introducing bridewells to take vagrants and train them for a profession. In the eighteenth century, these were replaced by workhouses but these were intended to discourage too much reliance on state help. These were later replaced by dormitory housing ("spikes") provided by local boroughs, and these were researched by the writer George Orwell. By the 1930s in England, there were 30,000 people living in these facilities. In the 1960s, the nature and growing problem of homelessness changed for the worse in England, with public concern growing. The number of people living "rough" in the streets had increased dramatically. However, beginning with the Conservative administration's Rough Sleeper Initiative, the number of people sleeping rough in London fell dramatically
Calls for reform had been mooted long before 1832, but perennially without success. The Act which finally succeeded was proposed by the Whigs led by the Prime Minister Lord Grey. It met with significant opposition from the Tories, especially in the House of Lords. Nevertheless, as a result of public pressure, the bill was eventually passed. The Act granted seats in the House of Commons to large cities that had sprung up during the Industrial Revolution, and took away seats from the "rotten boroughs"--those with very small populations. The Act also increased the number of individuals entitled to vote, increasing the size of electorate by 5080%, and allowing a total of one out of six adult males to vote, in a population of some 14 million. Up to nowadays Queen Victoria was married to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha son of Duke Ernst I of the small German duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Her descendants were also
of fuel and its price in different time periods in companies history by verbal explanations and graphs. In the final chapter of the research, the author has described AS Tamsalu Kalor's housing sector and its condition. Furthermore, due to the fact that the author had an opinion that the heat price was the best way to correctly assess on the research's results, the work also includes a description of Tamsalu's heat prices during the period from 1994 to 2014, and the boroughs' heat price comparison to other Lääne-Virumaa's district heating companies in the years 2001 and 2013. On the basis of the stable and low heat prices currently offered by AS Tamsalu Kalor, which is achieved by different investements into the heat production in the last 22 years. And by comparison to the other heat prices in Lääne-Virumaa, an argument can be made that AS Tamsalu Kalor has changed heat production and consumption more effective in Tamsalu.

Modernse konstitutsionalismi kindlustumine Inglismaal 18. sajandil- Kahekohaline parlament, ülem- ja alamkoda. House of Lords on pärandatav ja house of Commons on valitav jõukate meeste hulgast.

In 1295 he commanded each shire and town to send two representatives to what became known as the Model Parliament. There the barons and the high clergy were present together with the knights and burgesses representing the shires and towns (or boroughs) 4. The ‘House of Commons’ as a separate chamber resulted from the unofficial meetings of these knights and burgesses. The person chosen to ‘speak’ for these ‘commoners’ in Parliament and to the king became known as the Speaker5. In the fourteenth century the House of Lords and the House of Commons became separate chambers. Special and Important In other parts of Europe, similar ‘parliaments’ kept the gentry separate from the commoners
