and the life in England itself. He talks about his life and how he became a socialist. THE PLOT The book is divided into two parts. In part one he describes the life in in industrial towns and it's unemployment. In the first chapter of the first part he talks about his life in a lodging-house owned by the Brookers. Most of the people who live there are old and single. In the end of the first chapter Orwell leaves the lodging-house and goes to find out about the miners life. He describes how the miner goes to work every day at first the miner goes down to the shaft, after that he has to ,,travel" along the tunnel to the place where coal is dismantled. The tunnel is a bit over a meter high and you travel many kilometers. The time that miners ,,travel" is not included in the work hours. The coal dismantling work is hard, because miners have to dig on their knees. After 7 and a half hours of work the ,,travel" to the surface. After a days work

will need the support of his family especially his father. At first Billy's father completely refuses to consider his son's desires of going into ballet but he starts to realize that this might be an opportunity that Billy has in order to escape the danger and grinding tedium of a miner's life, so he sets out to earn the money by any means necessary to send his son to London. When Billy and his dad get home, they hear that the coal strike is settled and the miners are going back to work. Eventually Billy gets a letter from the school telling him he's been accepted. The entire town is proud of him. The film ends with the father and brother sitting in a concert hall. Next to them is Billy's gay friend. They are all waiting for Billy's performance. And it starts. In my opinion, Billy Elliot is a really touching movie. I had seen it before but watching again made me think about it. It's heart-warming and life-affirming as my mother said
Another good example is San Francisco State University, that's part of the California State University system and is located near Lake Merced. San Francisco has a lot of employers, as it's ranked 12 in world's financial centres. The major emplyers are for example the overnment of California, the university of California and Wells Fargo, a large private sector employer. Here's an interesting fact: Denim jeans were invented in San Francisco for the Gold Rush miners who needed tough, comfortable clothing. As for my own opinion, I think, that San Francisco is a great city, which in my opinion has a lot of potencial and people can succed with their life, if they live there.

Here ladies buy chocolate for men. One type of chocolate which is called by the name, kiri-choco is bought for friends and close relatives. It has no romantic significance at all but the chocolate with the name of hon-mei which is specifically bought for a boy friend, beloved or husband and is a gift stimulated by romance. Then after one month later it is the turn of the men to give in return. It is March 14th (the White Day). Australia In Australia during the gold rush, miners who were flushed with new found wealth from the Ballarat mines were willing to pay a pricey sum for elaborate valentines. Merchants in Australia would send orders of a thousand pounds at a time. The most extravagant of valentines were made of a satin cushion, perfumed, ornately designed with flowers, colored shells, and would also have a taxidermy humming bird or bird of paradise adorning it. This was all contained in a neatly decorated box which was
In all, about 160 000 en and women were brouth to Australia as convicts. The transportation was ended in 1868. by this time many settlements were established. In 1901 all the separate parts of Australia were united into one country. In 1851 gold was discovered in eastern Australia. This brought along the great gold rush. Thousands of people went to the new land to find fortune. Forty years later the gold was found in the west. The miners of the east had a very hard time, the water was scarce and the roads were bad. But then the railway was built. Many of people who came to Australia to find gold stayed on to do other kinds of work. The found that Australia has other riches too, such as coal, copper, ironore, nickel, natural gas and more. The forests had good timber. Along seashorepearls and tortoise shells could be gathered.

gold, but they had nothing to eat. As there was no transport, they could not leave the goldfields area and could not take their gold away from the goldfields. The government was helpless because the police and the troops, too had rushed to the goldfields and were digging gold. During Australia's gold rush days the population grew from 405,000 in 1850 to 1,146,000 in 1860. Forty years later there was another gold rush. This time gold was discovered in the west. The first miners there had a hard time. Water was very scarce. There were no railways to bring in supplies and carry the gold away. There were not even any good roads. But a railway was built. The west was joined with the east. Soon afterward on Jan. 1, 1901 all the separate parts of Australia united into one country. In 1903 a water-main was built to supply the goldmining centre of western Australia with water. Earning a living
killed. The only positive outcome in Britain was that women got the right to vote in the 1919 elections. During the war, Britain also struggled to main control of Ireland, where demands for independence were increasing. Britain was unable to resist the rise of nationalistic movement. The Irish Free State was eventually created on 6 December 1921. In the mid-1920s life was getting harder for the lower classes. A slump in the mining industry in 1925 led Britain's miners to a nationwide strike. The General Strike started on 4 May 1926 and many people stopped work in support of the men who worked in the mines. The strike had a great effect on their conditions, but it was not successful in its political aims. The war was followed by a period of severe hardship throughout Europe as the depressed economies struggled to recover from the war effort. It was a period of great social unrest and mistrust between various classes
This is more than any other Australian. Culture Since its discovery by Europeans more than 200 years ago, Australia has seen lots of changes. Just like all other countries in the world, Australia has its own unique culture and lifestyle. People from every corner of the world have moved to Australia and contributed their diversity to the Australian culture. For a long time, Australia was thought to be a country of sheep farmers and gold miners. But today's Australia is one of the most urbanized countries in the world. For many years, Australia was a part of the British Empire, and the Anglo-Celtic heritage has greatly influenced the country's lifestyle. The traditional British supper is still very common, and barbecues ("the barbies", as Australians call it) are a typical Australian pastime. There is also the traditional Aboriginal cooking in Australia
Later groups of people from what are now Germany, the Netherlands and France also settled there. During the Bronze Age they mined tin, gold and copper and made bronze tools. The descendants of the Iberians are thought to have built spectacular megaliths including the world-famous Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. The Celts invaded the British Isles in the 5th century BC. One of the Celtic tribes was called the Brythons from whom the name Britain derived. The Celts were miners, traders and cattle farmers. They brought the knowledge of smelting iron with them. The Celtic language still lives in the Welsh language. While the Celts were still living in tribes, the Romans were the most powerful people in the world. The already a common law system that united the people who spoke different languages but lived under the Romans. The language of Romans was Latin. That became the basis of many languages, such as French, Italian and Spanish.
143), and the country is subsequently stigmatized as `one of Europe's most racist countries' (1992, p. 231). Hoffman interprets the Romanians' somewhat placid reactions to a violent political event (the miners' arrival in Bucharest) as signs of ambivalence and fatalism Á key labels in her representation of the Romanian `other'. Such attitudes are sharply contrasted to what, in her opinion, stands for `normality'. Once again,
years ago, when the earth was partly covered with swampy forests. For millions of years, a layer of dead plants at the bottom of the swamps was covered by layers of water and dirt, trapping the energy of the dead plants. The heat and pressure from the top layers helped the plant remains turn into what we today call coal. Picture 15.1. How coal was formed 15.1 How we get coal 50 Mining the Coal Coal miners use giant machines to remove coal from the ground. They use two methods: surface or underground mining. Many U.S. coal beds are very near the ground's surface, and about two-thirds of coal production comes from surface mines. Modern mining methods allow us to easily reach most of our coal reserves. Due to growth in surface mining and improved mining technology, the amount of coal produced by one miner in one hour has more than tripled since 1978. Surface mining is used to produce

saved cryptologists a great deal of time. But it would be like having required Thomas Edison to pass a stiff examination in acoustical theory before deigning to look at his phonograph. The Babbage rule would have deprived cryptologists of some of the most important features of modern cryptography such as the Vernam mechanism, the rotor, the Hagelin machine. Cryptologists must process a lot of ore to get something valuable—but so must diamond miners. In evaluating their ciphers, many inventors err by thinking that the cryptanalyst must retrace the decipher- ment steps in his solution and that, since some of these steps are recoverable only with the key, the cipher must remain inviolate. But the cryptanalyst, of course, comes in by the back door. Many inventors also invoke the vast number of combinations of keys afforded by their system as proof of its invulnerability. To exhaust the
