Although Titanic is best known for carrying the rich and famous between Europe and the United States, the Ship actually had several purposes: 1. To carry British and US mail--hence the full name of the ship is Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic. 2. To carry general cargo and frozen meat since at that time Europe could not produce enough livestock to meet its own needs. 3. To carry first-class passengers in great luxury, second-class passengers in great comfort and third-class passengers with great economy. 4. To fly the flag of Great Britain and uphold national honor. Even though Titanic was ultimately owned by American business
The woman was in a red flannel dressing-gown, her hair was a little bit over her shoulders in long black wisps. She was a little stoutish with keen eyes and a red nose. She was holding a paraffin lamp. She said that she would make up the bed before he could say „Jack Robinson“, and asked if he would like a drop of whiskey, also added that she would bring the towel in the morning. She was also asking about the reasons why he came here. For 20 years the hotel was being visited only by the pilots. She could understand that he wasn't a sea-fairing man and probably not an inspector of customs too. She told him about Captain Bartlett, who was a queer fish. She lit the candle and wished him good night. He met Captain Bartlett at dinner the next day and he was so happy because he had only eaten turtle soup in Thursday Island. He mentioned that he spoke French and Captain Bartlett asked me to go and see French Joe.

On this day Americans give thanks for their blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions. The first American thanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. In 1620 a small group of puritans on a ship called mayflower set sail for America. This group called themselves pilgrims because of their wanderings in search of religious freedom. There were 102 men, women and children on the ship- The pilgrims were poorly trained and poorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness. One spring morning in 1621, an Indian came into the little village of Plymouth and introduced himself in friendly way. The Indians taught the pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow food
3. Relief The USA is situated in the central part of the North American continent. Its western coast is washed by the Pacific Ocean and its eastern coast is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and in the south its coast is washed by the Gulf of Mexico. The coastline is even. There are no big islands belonging to the USA except the Hawaiian Islands which lie halfway the continents of America and Asia. The biggest peninsulas are the Florida Peninsula and Alaska. 4. Land Regions Mountains The Appalachian Mountains are a vast system of North American mountains, partly in Canada, but mostly in the United States, forming a zone, from 100 to 300 miles wide, running from the island of Newfoundland some 150 miles south-westward to central Alabama in the United States. The Rocky Mountains, often called the Rockies, are a broad mountain range in western North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 4800 km. The Rocky Mountain System within
Australia Topic Koostas: Aineõpetaja: Tallinn 2011 Location Only one country in the world fills a whole continent. That country is Australia. The continent it fills is Australia, too. Australia, then, is both a country and a continent. If someone wants to make clear that he is speaking of the country, he may call it by its full name of Commonwealth of Australia. Sixty million years ago Australia and its nearby islands were separated from the rest of the world by a great upheaval. They were cut off from Asia by the ocean. Very few people and almost no animals visited Australia before English colonists began to settle there in 1788. During all those 60 million years the native Australian mammals developed by themselves, undisturbed by the animals developing elsewhere. Australia is the only continent except Antarctica that is all south of the equator. It's name
One biggest breakthrough has been gas pipeline Nord Stream. Russia is the third biggest trade partner of the EU and is the main importer of gas and crude oil. The economic benefits are the biggest cornerstones of the relations. Cooperation between Russia and the European Union progressively strengthens in foreign policy and security issues, in combating illegal migration, organised crime and terrorism. The main achievement of recent years, which can be hardly overestimated, is the understanding increasingly gaining ground that partnership between Russia and the EU is one of the cornerstones of maintaining stability and prosperity not only in Europe, but world-wide. Joint Russian-EU program called "A Partnership for Modernization" was launched. The main achievement has been the fact that the talks on Russia's membership in the WTO have finally ended in Russia's favor

Mulgimaa owe to the diligence and tenacity of the local people. Village handicraftsmen and masters have always been honoured. Mulgikapsad (stewed sauerkraut with barley groats), Estonian cheesecakes and kama (a roasted meal-mixture) have not lost their popularity. However, linen growers have now been replaced by cereal grains growers and many farms have specialised on raising sheep or horses. And as the song goes: "Mulgimaa it's a place where life is good. It's a land of vast woods, fertile fields and nature's charms, the home of prosperous Estonian farms..."

COMPENDIUM ABOUT PRAGUE Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Nicknames for Prague have included Praga mater urbium/Praha matka mst ("Prague Mother of Cities") in Latin/Czech, Stovzatá Praha ("City of a Hundred Spires") in Czech or Zlaté msto/Goldene Stadt ("Golden City") in Czech/German. Situated on the Vltava River in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the permanent seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. 4 Today, the city proper is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million.
designated. Introduction The first bridges were natural, such as the huge rock arch that spans the Ardèche in France, or Natural Bridge in Virginia (USA). The first man-made bridges were tree trunks laid across streams in girder fashion, flat stones, such as the clapper bridges of Dartmoor in Devon (UK), or festoons of vegetation, twisted or braided and hung in suspension. These three types - beam, arch, and suspension - have been known and built since ancient times and are the origins from which engineers and builders derived various combinations such as the truss, cantilever, cable-stayed, tied- arch, and moveable spans. The essential difference among types is the way they bear their own weight - the "dead load" and the "live load" - a person, the railway train, wind, or snow that is applied to the bridge. The weight of
Spelling changed in the Middle English period (French scribes used ou or ow for /u:/). Pronunciation changed during the Great Vowel Shift (14th- 16th century, possibly also later) when long /u:/ > /au/ The re-emergence of English: Starting with the 14th century. A relatively unique phenomenon: conquerors do not leave but the language of the conquered returns. In the case of English peasants as the Black Death killed off so many of them, the nobility did not have enough people to till the land and generally work for them. Peasants had been serfs, tied to their land: whenever they tried to escape from a lord who treated them badly, they had nowhere to go (except towns) another lord would have "extradited" them at once. Not so after the Black Death all lords were happy to receive new working hands. So because there were few of them and their was a great demand for them, the peasants were finally able to dictate their own terms. Serfdom ceased to exist. Free
the differ considerably from place to place. The Métis, are the group of people who resulted from the mixing of European and Native men and women. The Métis developed a unique culture that included elements of both European and Native ways and artifacts (clothes, tools, means of travel, etc.). They pride themselves on their distinctiveness from both the cultures from which they are descended. 3. From where have the Indians come to Canada? When? Less than 500 years ago, the only people living in Canada were the Aboriginal people of Canada. They all collectively refer to themselves as the First Nations or First Peoples of Canada. However, there are many different cultural groups. Scientists do not agree on where First Nations people came from, or how they got to North America, but they do know that First Nations people are genetically related to people in parts of Asia. Scientists know that First Nations

Energy used for transportation accounts for more than a quarter of all energy. Picture 2.1. Share of energy consumed by major selectors of the economy (2007) 2.1 Uses of energy in homes The ability to maintain desired temperatures is one of the most important accomplishments of modern technology. Our ovens, freezers, and homes can be kept at any temperature we choose, a luxury that wasn't possible 100 years ago. Keeping our homes comfortable uses a lot of energy. Over 40 percent of the average home's energy consumption is used for heating. Another 20 percent is used for water heating, 8 percent for cooling rooms, and 5 percent for refrigeration. Almost one-fourth of the energy used in homes is used for lighting and appliances. Lighting is essential to a modern society. Lights have revolutionized the way we live, work, and play. Picture 2.2

In the southern two thirds of the country the climate is temperate to cool. Winter temperatures can be low but not freezing. There are four seasons. The seasons are the opposite of our seasons. When we have summer then in Australia is winter. In Australia droughts and floods are pretty usual. The draught is caused by El Nino, a weather pattern which happens when the Southern Pacific Ocean heats up. This causes the wind direction to reverse. An El Nino occurs every four or five years, causing drought and bushfires. Droughts are followed by floods. Australia has three time zones. In Western Australia is equal to Greenwich Mean Time plus 8 hours. In New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and Tasmania and in Australian Capital Territory time is equal to Greenwich Mean Time plus 10 hours. In South Australia, Northern Territory, Broken Hill, NSW time is equal to Greenwich Mean Time plus 9 ½ hours. Plants A rich variety of plants can be found in the natural

Age 15 is legally a "young person" not a "child". Age 16 is a school leaving age. They can leave home, drive a moped, marry with "parents' consent" buy beer. Age 17 can drive a car. Age 18 can vote, get married, drink in pubs. Education is a very important part in the life of British youth. One can't become an independent person without it. When time comes to enter a college a young Englishman chooses one far away from home. It is a necessary part of becoming adult. During the last 30 years there were a lot of different trends in youth movements. All of them were characterized by their own philosophy, way of life, style of dressing. Each tendency was born by the influence of economic and political changes in the society. Those trends are known as the "hippies" the "punks" the "rockers". But certainly there are different traditional youth organizations in Great Britain. Among them -- the Scout Association, the Girl Guides Association, the National Union of
It has summer while we have winter, and the other way round. Sometimes Australia is called the island continent. There is a good reason why. It is an island. It is 1800 miles from the mainland of Asia and almost half way round the world from Europe. More than 6000 miles of ocean separate it from the America. Australia is the world's smallest, flattest and driest continent. It is also the oldest some of the rocks are more than 3,000 million years old. It is the 6th largest country. Its territory is 7 700 000 km2. Australia is an island continent, washed by the South Pacific Ocean, The Australia Sea, the Timor Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Tasman Sea. As a result, its seasons are the opposite of ours. Australia consists of six states, two major mainland territories, and other minor territories. The states are New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia,
Plus, renewable resources are often located remote areas and it is expensive to build powerlines to the cities where they are needed. The use of renewable sources is also limited by the fact that they are not always available (for example, cloudy days reduce solar energy, calm days mean no wind blows to drive wind turbines, droughts reduce water availability to produce hydroelectricity). The production and use of renewable fuels has grown more quickly in recent years due to higher prices for oil and natural gas, and a number of State and Federal Government incentives, including the Energy Policy Acts of 2002 and 2005. The use of renewable fuels is expected to continue to grow over the next 30 years, although we will still rely on non-renewable fuels to meet most of our energy needs. trends Consumption Total renewable energy consumption increased by 478 trillion Btu or 7 percent between 2005 and 2006 to 6,922 trillion Btu
