better education, if they study in a well-known university. Finally, you can find a lot of new friends. However, for every plus there is a minus. The main disadvantage is that you might start feeling homesick, because you have left all your relatives and friends behind. Culture shock can also be a problem. It might not be so easy to get used to local traditionds and customs. Moreover, the language barrier might be a huge problem. In conclusion, I think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although it depends very much on the person, who emigrates, it seems to me that in general emigration is a good thing.
We can now make friends with people all over the world through the Internet. However, for every plus there is a minus. The main disadvantage is that people are depending on technology too much. Most people are addicted to computer games or watching TV. Furthermore, technology has also increased various kinds of health problems. For instance it can ruin our sight or influence our psychological condition. In conclusion,the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I personally think that technology is more of a blessing than a curse, because it plays such a important role in our daily lives and nowadays we can't live without technological inventions.
market an dhow much they cost. Customers can compare the prices and merits of the different products and then decide which product to buy. Advertisements help increase the sales volume of products. In this way, companies expand their business and enjoy economies of scale. As with most things in life, advertisements can be both a bane or a boon. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the advantages of advertisements far outweigh the disadvantages and it is up to the discerning public to discard the advertisements which do not profess the truth.
Firstly you have one break more, although it does not last very long. However it may make the school year easier, because maybe then we do not have almost 11 control work on week. Secondly, you do not have to study some things so quickly. Then you have time to deal with some substancnes much more deeply. Overall, there are a some points both, for and against of having school longer than it is right now. However I think that the cons outweigh the pros. Because we all need some time to rest and summer holiday is just the right time for that. Anna-Mari
aren't any remains left of the first ever books because of the rarity when the first book was realased. First books ever were written by hand and that's the reason why there were so few of them. Thanks to the invention of the printing press books became more common and accesable for everyday people. After that came the printer but the next big step up was the invention of the e-books and portable screens that could almost outweigh regular books in every aspect possible. But nothing is perfect in this world so naturaly e-books and tablets have their weaknesses, for example, battery life and portability are the main concerns when deciding to rely on them. Regular books are quite rugged, few bumps and bruses aren't going to make it unreadable, but when u drop your tablet then there's a good chance that it will break and you're going to have to pay quite a lot of money to make it usable again
When you use the Internet, then your biggest annoyance should be spam. Spam is everywhere from e-mails to newsportals. Spam involves also commercials like they are in TV. Moreover, newspaper has the smallest disadvantages. It takes time to find information from the newspaper. Also newspaper migh be inconvenient beacause of its size. In conclusion, media channels have all kind of advantages and disadvantages. It seems that advantages outweigh disadvantages. All modern media channels are convenient and people can get quick fresh information.
The study materials are generally more understandable and better acquired when explained orally by the teacher. This also gives the students the opportunity to immediately ask the teacher for clarification or additional information on a certain topic. Thus, the student will have a better understanding of the subject at hand as well as develop their social skills. In conclusion, even though there are several pros and cons to both traditional and online classes, the classical way of learning outweigh online classes. When in search of a good education, attending a regular class is more advantageous by being the base of discipline, reliability and enhanced social skills. Although online classes can be a good fit for some people, the majority will still benefit more by learning in a classroom. Triin Tammaru 12.d

Building a modern navy will intimidate Russia's neighbors and open doors for Russian power projection in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Furthermore, at the same time when NATO and EU sees Russia as an ally, the Russians see us more as an economic partner with who it may easily cut off the connections. We should actively point out the threats it may bring and look through the policy about selling such military equipment. The CEE should raise the question about does the economic benefits outweigh the threats it may bring along. 5. Which are the most updated EU documents to describe EU-Russia relations? The Partnership and Co-operation Agreement has been the framework of the EU-Russia relationship for more than a decade. It was signed in 1994 and entered into force on 1 December 1997. The agreement regulates the political and economic relations between the EU and Russia and is the legal basis for the EU's bilateral trade and investment relations with Russia. At the St
· Reliability Nuclear power plants need little fuel, so they are less vulnerable to shortages because of strikes or natural disasters. International relations will have little effect on the supply of fuel to the reactors because uranium is evenly deposited around the globe. One disadvantage of uranium mining is that it leaves the residues from chemical processing of the ore, which leads to radon exposure to the public. These effects do not outweigh the benefits by the fact that mining uranium out of the ground reduces future radon exposures. Coal burning leaves ashes that will increase future radon exposures. The estimates of radon show that it is safer to use nuclear fuel than burn coal. Mining of the fuel required to operate a nuclear plant for one year will avert a few hundred deaths, while the ashes from a coal- burning plant will cause 30 deaths.

DO I REALLY HAVE TO BINGE ONCE A WEEK? It is important to spike caloric intake once per week. This causes a host of hormonal changes that improve fat-loss, from increasing cAMP and GMP to improving conversion of the T4 thyroid hormone to the more active T3. Everyone binges eventually on a diet, and it's better to schedule it ahead of time to limit the Everyone binges eventually on a diet, and it's better to schedule it ahead of time to limit the damage. The psychological bene ts outweigh even the hormonal and metabolic bene ts. I eat like this all the time and have for seven years. Few ways of eating (WOE) are this sustainable and beneficial. CAN YOU GET AWAY WITH ONE CHEAT MEAL PER WEEK? Most men can. Some women can't.3 Menstruation can stop if leptin levels get too low. This happened to one reader for seven months until she returned to "refeeding," as she called it (binge day), though she only did it once every two weeks
nal shame can produce a heavy psychological cost. When seen in the light of this cost, it is not so puzzling that, in the name of reciprocity, we will often give back more than we have received. Neither is it so odd that we will often avoid asking for a needed favor if we will not be in a position to repay it (De Paulo, Nadler, 8{ Fisher, 1983; Greenberg 8{ Shapiro, 1971; Riley 8{ Eckenrode, 1986). The psychological cost may simply outweigh the material loss. The risk of still other kinds of losses may also persuade people to decline cer- tain gifts and benefits. Women frequently comment on the uncomfortable sense of obligation they can feel to return the favors of a man who has given them an ex- pensive present or paid for a costly evening out. Even something as small as the price of a drink can produce a feeling of debt. A student in one of my classes ex-

GENDER PROBLEMS T h e Hero's Journey is sometimes critiqued as a masculine theory, cooked up by men to enforce their dominance, and with little relevance to the unique and quite different journey of womanhood. There may be some masculine bias built into the description of the hero cycle since many of its theoreticians have been male, and I freely admit it: I'm a man and can't help seeing the world through the filter of my gender
the count must be of pairs. If the cryptogram is in code, the atomic forms are words, but the same principle applies.) Having done this, how can the cryptanalyst be confident that the cryptogram's plaintext will have approximately the same frequencies as those of plaintext in general? Why won't the differences in subjects of discussion, in vocabulary, in expression, upset the frequencies? Because the redundant elements of language far outweigh the variable ones. The 75 per cent redundancy in English overwhelms the 25 per cent of "free will"—though this 25 per cent does keep frequency counts from matching one another exactly. The redundant elements in any text converge to make its frequency table. The need in any English text to use "the" frequently ensures that h will be a high-frequency letter. English's preference for alveolar consonants will make n, t, r, s, d, and / all high- or medium-frequency letters
