Snowboarding Kati Rannamees RK09 SNOWBOARDING Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending a slope that is covered with snow on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet using a special boot set on to mounted binding. The development of snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, surfing and skiing. It was developed in the U.S.A Winter Olympic Sport in 1998. HISTORY Modern snowboarding began in 1965 when Sherman Poppen, an engineer in Muskegon, Michigan, invented a toy for his daughter by fastening two skis together and attaching a rope to one end so she would have some control as she stood on the board and glided downhill.

Topic Sports Tallinn English College 8b form 2007 1. Introduction For some people sport plays a very important part in their lives. And to some, it is even a way of life. There are different kinds of sports. For instance, there are sports meant for playing indoors, some can be practised only at a certain time of year. There are winter and summer sports also. Skiing, figure-skating, sledding and snowboarding these four most popular are practised during winter. Good examples of summer sports are: swimming, badminton, roller skating and golf. 2. The ancient Olympic Games The first recorded Olympic Games took place in 776. B.C. at Olympia but the city may have functioned as a meeting place for worship and other political practices many years earlier. The city is located in western Greece. The games were held every four years. It is also presumed
Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. Skateboarding can also be considered a recreational activity, an art form, a job, or a method of transportation.[1] Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2002 report found that there were 18.5 million skateboarders in the world. Skateboarding is relatively modern. Since the 1970s, skateparks have been constructed specifically for use by skateboarders, bikers and inline skaters History Skateboarding was first started in the 1950s, when all across California surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets. No one really knows who made the first board -- instead, it seems that several people came up with similar ideas at the same time. These first skateboarders started with wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels slapped on the bottom. Like you might imagine, a lot of people got hurt in skateboarding's early years!. The boxes turn
It is clear, that television has advantages and disadvantages. But are there more advantages than disadvantages? In the first place, television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family of three, four or five, for example, it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre or cinema. They turn on the TV-set and can watch interesting films, concerts, football matches. But some people think that it's bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives. My friend told me that when his TV-set broke down, he and his family found that they had more time to do things and to talk to each other. There are other arguments for and
Sports. Sports has a very old history. The ancient Olympic Games were the first big sports competitions. The history of the Olympic Games is linked with many myths referred to in ancient sources, but in the historic years their founder is said to be Oxylos whose descendant Ifitos later rejuvenated the Games. According to the tradition, the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. when Ifitos made a treaty with Lycourgos the king and famous legislator of Sparta and Cleisthenes the king of Pissa. In this treaty that was the decisive event for the development of the sanctuary as a Panhellenic centre, the "sacred truce" was agreed. That is to say ceasing of fighting in all of the Freek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. The Olympic Games were held, after the completion of four years during the month of July or August

Each part has a special job, and all the parts work together to keep you alive and healthy. Good health is one of the most important things in life. There are certain things we can do to stay healthy. We should eat a balanced diet that includes the right kinds of food and drink plenty of clean, fresh water. We should exercise regularly, strengthening our muscles and keeping us in shape. Exercise helps the blood circulate around our bodies, cleaning out waste and supplying plenty of oxygen
They make great wines. Sports Sport plays an important part in Australian culture, assisted by a climate that favours outdoor activities. At an international level, Australia has particularly strong teams in cricket, hockey, netball, rugby league, rugby union, and performs well in cycling, rowing and swimming. Nationally, other popular sports include Australian rules football, horse racing, soccer and motor racing. Australia has participated in every summer Olympic Games and every Commonwealth Games. Australia has hosted the 1956 and 2000 Summer Olympics. Culture The modern culture of Australia draws from many sources including indigenous Australians, United Kingdom and the immigration of a diverse range of people with the Australian gold rushes of the 1850s and past. Australian art is one of the oldest in the world. Tribes people were painting on cave walls and cutting pictures into rocks 20 000 years ago. When Europeans first came to Australia, it was
the state is practically a desert in whole and nearly uninhabited. On the other hand, the desert is important for its resources and mining. Western Australian capital is Perth with a population of 1.5 million people. Tasmania is the second most densely populated state. Its capital is Hobart, which is a fine Georgian city. Tasmania became the most popular settling region for Europeans due to favorable climate to them. There is also the Northern Territory, but it has a special status being under the authority of the central government of the Commonwealth. The capital is not Sydney or Melbourne like many people think, but Canberra, which is situated just between those two. Canberra was chosen as the capital of Australia because Australians could not decide which to choose as the capital, either Melbourne or Sydney. So, Canberra was chosen instead as a fair end to a long fight.

In the next 45 minutes, I consumed almost two full-size barbecue chicken pizzas and three handfuls of mixed nuts, for a cumulative total of about 4,400 calories. It was my fourth meal of the day, breakfast having consisted of two glasses of grapefruit juice, a large cup of co ee with cinnamon, two chocolate croissants, and two bear claws. The more interesting portion of the story started well after Trent Reznor left the stage. Roughly 72 hours later, I tested my bodyfat percentage with an ultrasound analyzer designed by a physicist out of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Charting the progress on my latest experiment, I'd dropped from 11.9% to 10.2% bodyfat, a 14% reduction of the total fat on my body, in 14 days. How? Timed doses of garlic, sugar cane, and tea extracts, among other things. The process wasn't punishing. It wasn't hard

2002 rose by about 20% over the record US$9.4 billion in 2001. Individual game sales are also increasing: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from Take Two Interactive sold 1 Games Programming with Java and Java 3D an estimated 3 million copies in its first month of release. This game is likely to become the best selling title of 2002, and of all time. 1.2. Console Hardware Since consoles are so central to gaming, it is interesting to consider their capabilities. The PlayStation 2 processor runs with a clock speed of 294 MHz, has 32Mb of RAM, and a separate graphics chip that can render about 66 million polygons per second. The small amount of RAM is an important constraint upon games wishing to use Java. The introduction of the Xbox changed the game rules (so to speak), with its Pentium III, 64Mb RAM, a 8Gb hard disk, and the ability to render 150-200 million polygons per second.

Founded in 1835, some 47 years after Sydney was built. Often referred to as the "sporting capital of Australia", the city has a rich sporting history and is home to most of Australia's major annual sporting events. Both Sydney and Melbourne have held the Olympic Games. Melbourne hosted in 1956 and Sydney in 2000.

them represent the states and the last one is for the Commonwealth of Australia. The Southern Cross is in the right. It consists of five stars. The group of stars on the flag shows the geographical place of Australia which is in the southern hemisphere. The coat of arms was created in 1912. Before that coat of arms there was another that did not have so many things on it. On the coat of arms there is the national animal kangaroo. Emu is also there because it is a bird that is very interesting and it is only in Australia. They are standing on the golden wattle that is the national flower. In the top there is the star of the Commonwealth. Under it there is a shield with six parts each containing a representation of the badge of a state. From left the states are New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and in the second row there are South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. The anthem of Australia is called `Advance Australia Fair'. It was officially
flows from the North pole to the South pole. This creates a magnetic field around a magnet. Have you ever held two magnets close to each other? They don't act like most objects. If you try to push the South poles together, they repel each other. Two North poles also repel each other. Turn one magnet around and the North (N) and the South (S) poles are attracted to each other. The magnets come together with a strong force. Just like protons and electrons, opposites attract. These special properties of magnets can be used to make electricity. Moving magnetic fields can pull and push electrons. Some metals, like copper have electrons that are loosely held. They can be pushed from their shells by moving magnets. Magnets and wire are used together in electric generators. 7.4 Batteries produce electricity A battery produces electricity using two different metals in a chemical solution. A chemical reaction between the metals and the chemicals frees more electrons in one metal

2. IC may depend on the structure of the word. Such words normally have a transparent structure and more often negative affixes are used (e.g. unkind, impolite, injustice, heartless, etc.). This kind of connotation is purely linguistic. 3. Emotional connotation characterizes words in synonymic sets that occupy the so-called final position (e.g. big tremendous "tremendous" has emotional colouring; interesting amazing; good marvelous, etc.). The expressive use of language depends on the ability to choose the proper word among those that denote the same thing. 4. IC may comprise the stylistic colouring of the word that is the word belonging to a certain style of language. Words are then either neutral formal informal (or: neutral colloquial literary). This colouring (formal informal) is always present in a word (e.g

Australian Aboriginal culture is complicated and very diverse. It is one of the world's longest surviving cultures which goes back at least 50, 000 years (but some think it's closer to 150,000 years). Different oral histories have been backed up by geological data such as the flooding of Port Philip Bay which happened about 10,000 years ago. 11 . Sports Australians are wellknown sportsmen. They have achieved much recognition in diving, golf, skiing, surfing, boating and especially in swimming. They've won numerous Olympic medals in that category. Some of Australia's traditional sporting events receive worldwide attention. Probably the most famous event is the annual Melbourne Cup which is a horse race eagerly followed by Australians and attended by racing fans from throughout the world. 12 . Economy The Australian economy is dominated by its services sector, yet it is the agricultural and mining sectors

This merry, cheerful party mood of 1920 was changed to social consciousness and seriousness. Writers became socially minded. Politically and economicallt the rise of trade unions. Communist party in the usa became quite popular. Partly because of the russian revolution, which had huge impact all over the world. Writers became more critical and more bitter. One zanr that was proletarian literature, pro communist, left wing. The most famous representative was Michael Gold. The most interesting style was modernist combined with realism. The most interesting writer of this period was John Dos Passos 1896-1970. He is linked to the 1930's, the period of fear, unemployment, the rise of facism, market crashing.

Chocolate Lavender (Lilac) Taupe (UK: Lilac-based caramel) Cinnamon Fawn UK: Fawn-based Caramel Red Cream Apricot Amber Light Amber ?? Black, chocolate and cinnamon are all versions of the same gene. With the exception of "red" which is a special case, genes are inherited in pairs - one from each parent. Some genes are dominant over others and only the dominant one will be expressed (show up). The other gene (the recessive) will still be lurking in the background and can be passed on to offspring. Depending on which pairing a cat inherits, it will be one of those basic colours. The fact that at it may look different depends on many other genes which alter the way in which these three basic colours are expressed.

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 the United States is a United States physiographic region. Though part of the Pacific Cordillera, they are not to be confused with the Pacific Coast Ranges which are located immediately adjacent to the Pacific coast. The Rocky Mountains are a great place for holidays for walking, climbing, fishing, hunting or skiing. The only big city in the Rockies is Denver. Lakes The Great Lakes are a group of five large lakes in North America. They are the largest group of fresh water lakes on Earth. They are sometimes called the inland seas. There are: 1. Lake Superior (the largest and deepest) 2. Lake Michigan (the only one entirely in USA) 3. Lake Huron 4. Lake Erie (smallest and most shallow) 5. Lake Ontario (much lower elevation than the rest).

charged RHS Members for their Chelsea tickets. There were protest and 10,000 Members resigned in disgust, yet 20,000 joined the Society, happy to pay when they made the visit to Chelsea and content that Members from further afield were no longer subsidizing the free tickets of those who lived in London. These were hugely controversial decisions but they probably saved the show. Certainly it became a safer and more enjoyable experience. Nonetheless the RHS wanted to give its Members special privileges and so, since 1988, only Members are allowed into the Show on Tuesday and Wednesday, with ticket prices from 7 to 20, while the general public is confined to Thursday and Friday and pays from 12 to 27. The RHS has established the standards and the important principle that we do not allow plants to be sold at our shows without a visual contribution. Without this policy you would end up with a street market atmosphere with no educational value.
When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me. 1. FIRST SIGHT My mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt -- sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry-on item was a parka. In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy, omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It was in this town that I'd been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three
