Orkaan Katrina Uku Ojasild 10d Orkaan Katrina 23.31. august 2005 Katrina oli Atlandi ookeanil tekkinud troopiline tsüklon, mis paisus orkaaniks tänu Mehhiko hoovusele. Ta oli Ameerika ajaloo kõige suuremate kahjustustega orkaan eales. Katrina tekitatud kahjud ulatusid 81.2 miljardi dollarini. Orkaanis ja selle tekitatud üleujutustes hukkus vähemalt 1836 inimest. Kuidas tekkis? Orkaan Katrina moodustus Bahamal 23.augustil 2005 ja ületas Lõuna- Florida esimese astme orkaanina põhjustades seal mõned surmad ja väiksemad üleujutused. Torm nõrgenes enne teist maandumist ja tugevnes vaid mõni tund enne ranniku tabamist kolmanda kategooria orkaanina 29.augusti hommikul Kagu-Louisianas. Kõige enam inimesi hukkus New Orleans-is, Louisianas. Kõige suuremat rahalist kahju tekitas ta rannikualadel. Vesi ulatus rannast 10-19 kilomeetri kaugusele. Mõned pildid. Mis asi on orkaan? Or...

like someone out there cares about them. It is also worth bearing in mind that to keep the stress away, we should have a positive view of life and try to keep the negative thoughts away. It is important to relax and keep healthy. I know from my own experience that it is sometimes the hardest thing to do and there have been times when I have felt like I want to give up on everything and just stop caring. Then I remember that times like this will not last and after a hurricane comes a rainbow. Even though being stressed out is not anything uncommon in teenager's life nowadays, I believe that it is all in our own hands and a little bit of stress does not harm us. We just need to learn how to cope with stress and how to avoid getting depressed. It is really easy to affect young people because the younger one is. the harder it is for him to control his emotions. The important thing is to
Kontserdiretsensioon Mina käisin eelmine aasta 21.juunil Tallinna Lauluväljakul 30 Seconds To Mars'i kontserdil. Enne seda kontserti ei kuulanud ma väga palju nende muusikat, kuid sõbranna kiitis neid väga ning kutsus mind endaga kaasa. Peale kontserti ma kuulasin umbes 2 kuud ainult nende loomingut. 30 Seconds To Mars on USA alternatiiv-rock ansambel. Nad alustasid tegutsemist 1998.aastal, mil kitarristist laulja Jared Leto ning tema trummarist vend Shannon Leto otsustasid luua bändi. Bändi koosseis vahetus alguses pidevalt, sest algsetel basskitarristidel ja klahvpillimängijatele ei sobinud kontsertreisid. Seega tänaseks on bändi koosseis jäänud selliseks: peamine laulude kirjutaja, solist ning kitarrist Jared Leto, trummar Shannon Leto ning kitarrist Tomo Milicevi. Kontsert oli väga huvitavalt üles ehitatud. Soojendusesinejad andsid endast parima ning kui lõpuks pidi 30 Seconds To Mars lavale...

Kadi Bruus Courage in the Storm I was covering my ears while waiting for the next thunder to strike. The distance from my house to the shelter seemed insurmountable. I swallowed the lump in my throat and run. The storm was so intense, it made hurricane Irma look like a sneeze. It must have been the loudest thunderstorm I have ever heard and the rain like someone was pouring water from a giant bucket. I barely made it to the shelter, that my dad built a few years ago. It was a safe place to hide while hurricanes and thunderstorms were bullying. The room was equipped with all the necessary things food, water, batteries, flashlights, warm clothes, etc. But to my surprise, I was the first one there. Where were mum and dad
Thirty Seconds to Mars 30 Seconds to Mars on Ameerika üks tuntumaid roki bände. Nad on koos alates 1998. aastast. Bändis on kolm liiget: solist Jared Leto, trummar Shannon Leto (Jaredi vend) ja kitarrist Tomo Milicevic. Bändil on ilmunud 3 albumit: ,,30 Seconds To Mars", ,,A Beautiful Lie" ja ,,This Is War". Nad esinesid Tallinna Lauluväljakul 21. juunil. Nii, kui ma teada sain, et nad tulevad Eestisse esinema, olin ma kindel, et lähen sinna kontserdile, kuna nende bänd on huvitav ja ostsin kohe eelmüügist piletid ära. Lauluväljakule lasti 18.00 ja siis hakkasid soojendusesinejad. 18.20 Iris, 19.10 LCDMF (Soomest) ja Von Herzen Brothers (samuti Soomest) ja kell 21.30 30 Seconds to Mars. Soojendusesinejad laulsid kõik ajakava järgi, aga peaesineja jäi veidike hiljaks ja nad alustasid peale 22.00.

he was safe – Freedom! He was crying when he told him that. He start living the life: he cooked, taught French, swept streets, worked in the gold mines, starved, and then travelled to New Guinea. In New Guinea he was a king of a wild tribe. But eventually he came into collison with the British, and he fled the country and started life once more. He came to own a fleet of pearling luggers on Thursday Island. He was happy and old and wealthy. A hurricane destoryed his boats and he was too old to recover from that. He accepted the hospital's shelter. He didn't go back to France or Corsica even though the amnesty was granted to the communists a quater of a century ago, because it was nothing to him after 50 years, also a cousin of him seized his land, so he should have had to kill him, but he had children. Hospital nurse told Joe that he was funny and he have had a fine life, also she thought that Joe didn't believe in God. In Joe's opinion he
The island is home to the Blue Mountains indland and is surrounded by a narrow coastal plain. Most major towns and cities are located on the coast. The Kingston Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. The climate in Jamaica is tropical, with hot and humid weather, although higher inland regions are more temperate. Some regions on the south coast, such as the Liguanea Plain, are relatively dry rain-shadow areas. Jamaica lies in the hurricane belt of the Atlantic Ocean, as a result, the island sometimes experiences significant storm damage. Economy Jamaica is a mixed economy with both state enterprises and private sector businesses. Major sectors of the Jamaican economy include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, tourism, and financial and insurance services. Tourism and mining are the leading earners of foreign exchange. An estimated 1.3 million foreign toruists visit Jamaica every year.
Irish Speakers. Over 5% percent of the population of Ireland is Polish. Watch out for the Irish sense of humor particularly in regard to death and religion and relationships. There are many many examples , this is just a taste. It is a fact that Irish humor can be hilarious,morbid and scathing at the same time these are just a few examples. An Irishman will always soften bad news, so that a major coronary is no more than 'a bad turn' and a near hurricane that leaves thousands homeless is 'good drying weather'.Hugh Leonard My grandmother made dying her life's work.Hugh Leonard There are so many strange things in the world beyond our knowledge, and maybe there are ghosts too, though I do not understand why they should come back to this world when they have gone from it.

old style of Problem Solver-Crisis Management-a reactive posture which dominated management in the 1960's, 70s and 80s, versus the new style of leadership for the 21st century, that of Change Anticipator-Foresight Management-a proactive process. The model is simple, yet useful, whether one is dealing with domestic/family difficulties or corporate/institutional concerns. The choice between reactive and proactive responses can best be illustrated by hurricane Andrew. On August 24 and 25, 1992, hurricane Andrew struck a most devastating blow to the southern portions of the states of Florida and Louisiana. Two important lessons on how to deal with change can be learned from hurricane Andrew. The first is: Failure to anticipate impending change with a proactive process, will result in great loss, due to a come-from-behind reactive response. All the meteorological reports from the National Hurricane Center in Dade County, Florida said the same thing-Andrew is rushing
than half a metre deep. Apart from the coast and the Western Islands, the snow vover lasts for approximately 100 days: from the beginning of January to the end of March. In mild winters, however, much of Estonia does not have lasting snow cover at all. Because of the influence of the warm Gulf Stream, the prevailing winds in Estonia blow from the southwest and west. Severe weather conditions, such as tempests and whirlwinds, are rare: the last hurricane raged through Estonia in 1969. The high latitude makes the rotation of seasons and the interchange of light and dark periods of the year well pronounced in Estonia the maximum length of a summer day on the north coast is 18 hours 14 minutes, wheres during the shortest day in winter the sun appears for a mere 6 hours 3 minutes. Moreover, the long twilight time makes the transition between day and night rather smooth and the nights around the Midsummer Day shorter still. 7. Flora & fauna

Britid olid 1930. aastate lõpus õhukaitsesse kõvasti investeerinud ja enamus nende lennukitest olid suurepärased. Kõige levinum oli Hawker Hurricane, mis oli vastupidav ja tõhus hävitaja ega jäänud millegi poolest alla Luftwaffe lennukitele. Lisaks oli nende lennuväes Supermarine Spitfire, tippklassi hävitaja, mis oli vääriline vastane Bf 109-le.

If a half-century-Iong obligation appears to be a one of a kind sort of thing, explained by some unique feature of Ethiopian culture, consider the solution to RECIPROCATION _ another initially baffling case. On May 27, 2007, a Washington, DC-based gov- ernrnent official named Christiaan Kroner spoke to a news reporter with uncon- cealed pride in the governmental action that had followed the Hurricane Katrina disaster, detailing how "pumps, ships, helicopters, engineers, and humanitarian relief" had been sent both rapidly and adeptly to the flooded city of New Or- leans and to many other sites of the calamity (Hunter, 2007). Say what? In the face of widespread recognition of the Federal government's scandalously delayed and monstrously inept reaction to the tragedy, how could he possibly make such a statement? For example, at the time of his claim, the government's vaunted

braced his secondary defenses. On the 6th, officers were told that "the offensive is imminent." Tension mounted. The 7th passed without enemy action, and the 8th: Ludendorff had postponed the attack for two days to bring up more guns and munitions because, he said, "thorough preparation was essential to success." The French waited tensely but with confidence. At midnight on June 9 the front from Montdidier to Compiegne erupted in a fierce, pelting hurricane of high-explosive, shrapnel, and gas shells. For three hours a German artillery concentration that averaged one gun for no more than ten yards of front poured a continual stream of fire onto the French positions—and Ludendorff's urgent demand for ammunition became clear. But this time, for the first time since Ludendorff began his stupendous series of triumphs, there was no surprise. Painvin's manna had saved the French.
