Disabled Athletes should take up in Sport. Everyone should have the opportunities to learn sport skills and become active for life. But some of them were born with birth defects that resulted in lost limbs or paralysis. There are professional athletes, who inspire me with their strength, spirit and ability to overcome their disabilities. To begin with, they are pushing back the barriers which, until recently, kept the disabled from taking part in sports. They are demonstrating their abilities in an environment where their disabilities don't count. Moreover, disabled athletes are very hardy. Many of them have suffered accidents and
placed in 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails. The bombs were put into black bags and left on the ground, the source said. Our correspondent says it has also been reported that a circuit board and battery pack - parts of a triggering mechanism - were also recovered. Doctors treating the wounded say their injuries indicate that the bombs contained metal shards and other shrapnel. A number of victims have had limbs amputated. President Barack Obama will travel to Boston on Thursday for a memorial.
Chinchillas The short-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla brevicaudata) Also called the Bolivian, Peruvian, and Royal chinchilla. Their bodies measure between 28 to 49 cm long and weigh around 1,1 to 1,5 kg. They have short front limbs and long, powerful legs that aid in climbing and jumping. Short-tailed chinchillas have thicker necks and shoulders and have much shorter tails than their long-tailed relatives. The long-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) Also called the Chilean, coastal, or lesser chinchilla. Body length up to 26 cm. Average males weight 369493 g and females weigh 379450 g. The Chinchilla lanigera species, though rare, can be found in the wild.
Hula Hoop Maarja Loikonen K109 Introduction A hula hoop is a toy hoop that is twirled around the waist, limbs or neck. Although the exact origins of hula hoops are unknown, children and adults around the world have played with hoops, twirling, rolling and throwing them throughout history. Hula hoops for children generally measure approximately 28 inches in diameter, and those for adults around 40 inches. Today, they are usually made of plastic tubing History The hoop gained international popularity in the late 1950s when a plastic version was
like: "How did he die? Was it quick? Did he suffer? Was he alone? What were he`s last words?" We can never know what were he`s last thoughts or what he was feeling before death but we always wish that he died peacefully. Finally the wounded ones, who have to live with their injuries for the rest of their lives. In war there are so many people who have had many serious injuries and some of them have even lost one or even all the limbs. They have to live with these injury`s for the rest of their lives. Some soldiers have lost even their eyesight or have become paralyzed, because of the serious injuries they have had. In conclusion, every person who has been in the war has had some injuries, most of them are physical and some are mental. In war you can always find some soldiers who are unwounded, but you can`t see inside of them. Every soldier who has been in the war has a traumatic memory
young Tommy a green light? The only measurements that the sergeants needed to take were height and chest size. 10. What impact did the bloodshed the boy soldiers witnessed have on them? The bloodshed turned many teenage soldiers into vehement opponents of militarism as well as made them suffer from shock. Today it is more known as “combat stress” or “post-traumatic stress disorder”. People were also wounded, some even lost their limbs. 11. What were many of the British officers like? The officers were still teenagers and had responsibilities far beyond their years. They were responsible for their men’s lives. 12. Where did the Tommies spend most of their time? The Tommies spent most of their time in the trenches. 13. What was life like there? The life in trenches meant cold and mud, wet clothes and rats, the smell of death and

ROMANTISM (XIX saj I pool) Koostaja: Mairi Kohanski 11. klass Johann Heinrich Füssli Romantism Sõna "romantism" päritolu viitab romantismi ühele tüüpilisele tunnusele - keskaja imetlusele. Võib öelda, et kui klassitsist kaldub olemasolevat maailma parimaks pidama, siis romantikule on see aeg ja koht, kus ta viibib, halvim võimalus. Romantikute arust on paigalseis ja stabiilsus masendav, igasugune muutus tähendab aga paranemist. Romantism väljendas kahtlust ja pettumust valgusajastu ideaalides. Romantikud rõhutasid just tunnete ja instinktide tähtsust. Chalk Cliffs on Rügen (1818), Caspar David Friedrich Romantism kui kunstisuund tekkis 19. sajandi algul ja kestis sama sajandi keskpaigani. Romantism avaldus eriti maalikunstis ja graafikas. Maalikunstis asetati pearõhk eelkõige koloriidile, valguse-varju kontrastidele ja ...

39 degrees Celsius); seizures; painful lymph gland swelling called a bubo, commonly found in the groin, but may occur in the armpits or neck, most often at the site of the initial infection (bite or scratch); pain may occur in the area before the swelling appears. (Wikipedia homepage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague) Other symptoms include heavy breathing, continuous blood vomiting, urination of blood, aching limbs, coughing, and extreme pain. The pain is usually caused by the decaying or decomposing of the skin while the person is still alive. Additional symptoms include extreme fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, lenticular (black dots scattered throughout the body), delirium and coma.

Australia Fact file: Australia comprises a land area of 7 686 850 square kilometres. Its population is about 21,3 million people. Australia's capital is Canberra. The national language is English. The official name of it is the Commonwealth of Australia. It's divided into six states and two territories: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Northern Territory. Symbols: Australia had the British flag as their official flag until 1901, when the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Over 30 000 entries attracted the official competition. Five of them, which contained almost identical designs, were placed equally first. The Australian flag symbolises Australia's historical links with Britain, because it has British flag on it, and Australia's location in the southern hemisphere...

experiences on the front lines would have driven them insane. Kemmerich is very near death. He is saddened by the fact that he will never become a head forester, as he had hoped. Paul attends Kemmerich's death throes. He lies next to his friend to try to comfort him, assuring him that he will get well and return home. Kemmerich knows that his leg is gone, and Paul tries to cheer him with talk about the advances in the construction of artificial limbs. Kemmerich tells Paul to give his boots to Müller. Kemmerich begins to cry silently and refuses to respond to Paul's attempts at conversation. Paul goes to find the doctor, who refuses to come. When Paul returns to Kemmerich's bedside, Kemmerich is already dead. His body is immediately taken from the bed to clear room for another wounded soldier. Paul takes Kemmerich's boots to Müller. Summary A group of new recruits arrives to reinforce the decimated company, making Paul and his

tuxedo style black area (albeit there may be some small white markings in this single black area). The white belly area might be a ventral (belly) seam from a ventral crack earlier on - it is suspected that the belly area expands greatly during embryo growth. Megacolon in cats and exposed gut conditions in some rabbits upholds this theory. Black feet could indicate a black domain that has been pushed to the foot extremity by the expansion of the ventral region at the same time that the limbs are being formed. Where the white spotting occurs over the eyes, it may affect the eye colour. Thus a few bicolour cats have blue eyes. Another interesting effect of white spotting is in tortoiseshell cats. Tortie cats with little or no white tend to have brindled coats with intermingled black and orange hairs. However, the more white there is, the more the black and white will also be separated out into patches instead of being intermingled. This is also explained by the
However, the basic result has been replicated 7 and 8, and the experiment appears to offer one of the few viable methods for experimental studies of awareness of action. Direct stimulation of the supplementary motor area in man. A strip of electrodes is used to stimulate the cerebral cortex as part of pre- operative procedure before neurosurgery for severe epilepsy. When the SMA (electrodes outlined in red) was stimulated, subjects reported the sensation of an urge to move their limbs. More intense stimulation at the same locations provoked physical movements of the corresponding limb [20]. Reproduced with kind permission of UCLA. View Within Article Figure 1. A computational framework for action. Based on [37]. A marks a point after movement selection where conscious awareness of intention might arise.

Shamans-to-be often dream of being dismembered by heav enly spirits and reassembled into the new form of a shaman.

He had no patience for fuzzy thinking in elds that depended on scienti c clarity. In response to researchers who drew conclusions about muscular function using electromyography (EMG), Arthur attached their machines to a cadaver and moved its limbs to record similar "activity." Internal friction, that is. Jones lamented his eeting time: "My age being what it is, universal acceptance of what we are now doing may not come within my lifetime; but it will come, because what we are doing is clearly established by simple laws of basic physics that cannot be denied forever." He passed away on August 28, 2007, of natural causes, 80 years old and as ornery as ever.
licking and parting the sensitive tissues. My hips churned restlessly, my body silently begging for more. It felt so good I could've wept. "God, Eva. I've wanted my mouth on your cunt every day since I met you." As the velvet softness of his tongue flickered over my swollen clit, my head pressed hard into the pillow. "Yes. Like that. Make me come." He did, with the gentlest of suction and a hard lick. I writhed as the orgasm jolted through me, my core tensing violently, my limbs shaking. His tongue thrust into my sex as it convulsed, rippling along the shallow penetration, trying to pull him deeper. His groans vibrated against my swollen flesh, goading the climax to roll on and on. Tears stung my eyes and coursed down my temples, the physical pleasure destroying the wall that kept my emotions at bay. And Gideon didn't stop. He circled the trembling entrance to my body with the tip of his tongue and lapped at my throbbing clit until I quickened again
