Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, a port city in Italy, in 1451. This is the name we know him by today but his actual name is Cristobal Colon in Spanish, or Cristofero Colombo in Italian. He first went to sea at the age of 1465 at the age of 14. He was a deck boy and he had to clean, cook and mend clothes. By the age of 30 he was an experienced sailor and a skilful navigator. He had made many journeys to the South Atlantic from his home the Madeira Islands. He also sailed to Bristol and Galway. Many people believed that he had also sailed to the north of Iceland in 1477. During those visits Columbus heard stories about life to the west of Europe. His ambition to find the shortest and safest sea route to the riches of the Far East started to grow. Gradually he worked out his plan to reach the East by sailing west. In 1482 Columbus...
Christopher Columbus, Letter to Ferdinand and Isabella Regarding the Fourth Voyage (1503) [Jamaica, July 7, 1503] Of Española, Paria, and the other lands, I never think without weeping. I believed that their example would have been to the profit of others; on the contrary, they are in an exhausted state; although they are not dead, the infirmity is incurable or very extensive; let him who brought them to this state come now with the remedy if he can or if he knows it; in destruction, everyone is an adept. It was always the custom to give thanks and promotion to him who imperiled his person. It is not just that he who has been so hostile to this undertaking should enjoy its fruits or that his children should. Those who left the Indies, flying from toils and speaking evil of the matter and of me, have returned with official employment. So it has now been ordained in the ...

He was the oldest of five children in his family. His father was a wool weaver. He helped his father with the weaving, but he always wanted to sail the seas. He didn't get to go to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He was a navigator, colonizer and explorer. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. He tried for eight years to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to supply him with ships and money. Finally they agreed. In 1492 Christopher left from Spain with a crew of 90 men ...

Indigenous people mostly fished, because there vas a vast stock of fish. But they also relied upon agriculture, hunting and trapping. They built stable villages, and lived either in birchcovered wigwams or in rectangular longhouses. Later the indigenous people were called indians, by Christopher Columbus who thought that he had reached to India.

Relvadeta maailm Ühe kauge galaktika kõige kaugemas sopis oli kord täht, mille ümber tiirles planeet. Planeet oli tavaline, aga sellel elutses üks kummaline humanoidne rass nimega Rass. Isenditel oli kaks kätt ja kaks jalga, ning hulk igasuguseid muid elundeid. Neil olid kõik humaansed asjad, mis tavalistel humanoidsetel keskmise arengutasemega tsivilisatsioonidel oli: kaastunne, mõistmine, suhtlemine, armastus ja McDonald's. Siiski polnud päris kõike nende tsivilisatsioonil. Neil puudusid elementaarsed asjad nagu kurjus, vihkamine, sõimamine, kaklemine, haiget tegemine ja mis kõige hullem relvad. Kõik see oli nii päevani, mil sündis suure peaga beebi Mihkel. Mihkel oli täiesti normaalne humanoid, välja arvatud üks väike sünnidefekt, mis muutis kogu ta planeedi saatuse. Tema nimetissõrm ja pöial tõmbusid aega-ajalt tema tahtest olenemata tugevalt kokku. Tema vanemad üritasid seda Mihklist väl...

Kodukassi põlvnemine Üsna sageli on juhtunud, et kass valib omaniku, mitte vastupidi! Erinevalt teistest koduloomadest ei vaja kodukass ellujäämiseks erilist inimesepoolset tuge. Kui ta oma inimese mingil põhjusel kaotab, saab ta ka metsiku eluga hakkama. Seetõttu on teadlastele jäänud mõistatuseks, miks ja kuidas sai metskassist koduloom? Asjatundjad on pikka aega arvanud, et kass kodustati 3600 a tagasi Egiptuses. Samas viitavad viimased geneetilised ja arheoloogilised uurimised märksa varasemale ajale, ligikaudu 10 000 aatat tagasi. Samuti mitte Egiptusele, vaid Viljaka Poolkuu piirkonnale (vaata kaart) Seal pandi alus inimkonna põllumajanduslikule ühiskonnakorraldusele. Koos viljakasvatamisega hakkasid inimasulates levima närilised, kelle vastu hakkasid huvi tundma kassid. Siit võib otsida põhjust, miks vaheldumisi armastusväärsest ja ärritavast, rahulikust ja metsikust, südamlikust ja iseteadlikust vastuolulisest olendist võ...

The United States is a democracy. The Constitution, laws and traditions of the United States give the people the right to determine who will be the leader of their nation, who will make the laws and what the laws will be. The Constitution also guarantees individual freedom to all. In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. Within a few years, the more powerful nations of Europe were claiming great areas there and establishing colonies to support their claims. Most of the colonists were English, but there were also Germans in Pennsylvania, Swedes in Delaware and Dutch in New York. Some of the early British colonists had come to the New World in hopes of enriching themselves, some came because Britain forced them to leave and some because of the opportunity , which did not exist for them in Europe, to own land or practice a trade. But there were also reasons, which had great influence on the shaping of the political system of...

LONG BEFORE the white man set foot on American soil, the American Indians, or rather the Native Americans, had been living in America. When the Europeans came here, there were probably about 10 million Indians populating America north of present-day Mexico. And they had been living in America for quite some time. It is believed that the first Native Americans arrived during the last ice-age, approximately 20,000 - 30,000 years ago through a land-bridge across the Bering Sound, from northeastern Siberia into Alaska. The oldest documented Indian cultures in North America are Sandia (15000 BC), Clovis (12000 BC) and Folsom (8000 BC) Although it is believed that the Indians originated in Asia, few if any of them came from India. The name "Indian" was first applied to them by Christopher Columbus, who believed that the mainland and islands of America were part of the Indies, in Asia. So, when the Europeans started to arrive in the 16th- an...
The United States of America. History. For thousands of years America was unknown to Europe. There lived only the native people, who had come from Siberia many thousand years ago by a land bridge. They had spread over the country, varying enormously from nomadic food gatherers to fishing societies. Then the Vikings visited Canada around AD 1000, but they did not stay. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered America while trying to reach India. He named the native people Indians, because he though he had reached India. He didn't stay either and in the sixteenth century the first Europeans to settle in America were the Spanish, the English and the French. The first village founded by the English settlers was in Virginia in 1607. It was called Jamestown. They didn't have good relations with the Indians and many of them died. But Pocahontas, the daughter of an Indian chief, became their friend and helped them....

Leviku kirjeldamisel võtan aluseks vaid Tallinna Järveotsa Gümnaasiumi õpilased, kus ise õpetajana töötan ja paratamatult igapäevaselt snusi kasutamisega kokku puutun. Kahjulikkuse hindamiseks võtan aluseks läbi loetud artiklid. Põhjus miks selle teema valisin on lihtne, kuna igapäeva töös puutun kokku noortega, kes enda arvates teavad snusist kõike, siis oli ka endal soov sellest imelisest tootest rohkem teada saada. Et oskaksin ka sõna sekka öelda, kui nad sellel teemal omavahel arutlevad. Keskseks küsimuseks olekski teada saada, milliseid toimeid omab snus ja millist kahju võib see tuua põhikooli õpilasele?

Kirjandusajaloo eksam. Del I Ni alla kommer att behöva ha särskilt god kännedom om utdraget ur "Frithiofs saga" av Tegnér som fanns med i kurslitteraturen. Skrivningen innehåller - 3 st. essäfrågor där längre svar förväntas, - ett antal frågor om begreppsdefinitioner, författarnamn och verktitlar (med olika många poäng beroende på hur mycket ni förväntas veta), - några utdrag ur texter som ni har läst och förväntas känna igen samt en lite svårare uppgift i anslutning till detta - ett antal uppgifter om tidigare okända texter. En sådan text förväntas ni kunna placera in i en litteraturhistorisk epok eller riktning, alternativt - kanske, i något fall - även knyta till en särskild författare. När det gäller de okända texterna är det god argumentation som ger poäng. Ett felaktigt svar med god, rimlig, textnära argumentation ger sålunda fler poäng än ett enstaka författarnamn utan argumentation Medeltiden Rundiktning, runstenar Stavrim, al...
