M i l l e n n i u m B r i d ge Liivika Viitak 8.C klass FACTS A bridge made of steel for pedestrians crossing the River Thames. It was to be a part of the city's millennium celebration. During the first two days after opening the bridge, thousands who had crossed the bridge noticed that the bridge seemed to wobble. Because of that the bridge was closed for modifications 3 days after opening. It was reopened in February 2002. Construction of the bridge began in late 1998 and was completed in June 2000, about 2 months behind schedule. Total cost was 30 million euros.

Leicester Square Leicester Square is a square for pedestrians only. It is between Piccadilly and Covent Garden, just north of Trafalgar Square. Leicester Square is at the centre of London's entertainment and social scene. Leicester Square is the centre of entertainment with cinemas, restaurants, theatres and clubs all around and sometimes a funfair in the middle. Leicester Square is now home to some of London's largest cinemas and is the venue for many premiers. There is a lovely garden in Leicester Square, where people can relax after a

Estonia is a pretty small country in northern Europe. Estonia has land borders in the south with Latvia and in the east with Russia, it's oversea neighbours are Finland and Sweden. Estonia divided into fifteen counties. Estonia has been an independent country since 1991. Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia. It's not very large, there lives about 400 000 pedestrians. Estonia is a member of European Union and NATO. Estonia is a democratic republic and it's president is Toomas Hendrik Ilves. The territory of Estonia covers 45,227 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. The surface there is mainly flat, but in the southern parts of Estonia it gets little bumpy. The official language of Estonia is Estonian, which is Finno-Ugric language and has many similarities with Finnish
It is in the northern part of central London partly in the City of Westminster and partly in the London Borough of Camden. It contains Regent's College and the London Zoo. Description The park has an outer ring road called the Outer Circle (4.3 km) and an inner ring road called the Inner Circle, which surrounds the most carefully tended section of the park, Queen Mary's Gardens. Apart from two link roads between these two, the park is reserved for pedestrians. The south, east and most of the west side of the park are lined with elegant white stucco terraces of houses designed by John Nash. Running through the northern end of the park is Regent's Canal which connects the Grand Union Canal to the former London docks. The 166 hectare (410
human, even if confronted. Only a very big Python will think of a human as prey and even if it does start chasing you its very easy to outrun any snake on the planet. Thailand is a very warm place, but doesn't get too warm because of how humid the air is. Thailand has amazing places such as the big Buddha mountain and the Wat Rong Khun. What I don't like about Thailand is the traffic, Thailand has very bad drivers and it's hard to go for a walk as there's no places for pedestrians to walk. To cross the road, you have to look left and right for any cars and then run as fast as you can to the other side of the road. In Thailand it gets dark very early- about 18:30 pm. Then it's like night in Estonia. What I like in Thailand is the food, my favorite thing to eat is the chicken-noodle soup. Compared to Estonia, Thailand has great rice- it's so good that you can just eat the rice without anything else. Thailand also has very cheap ice cream, you can get a popsicle
Toompea Castle is also one of the most potent symbols of the reigning power. Today Toompea is the seat of the Government of Estonia as well as the Riigikogu, both of which are often simply colloquially referred to as Toompea. For centuries there was only one access to Toompea - Pikk Jalg - but there is also another way leading up to Toompea - Lühike Jalg, which was made in the 14th century. At present Pikk Jalg and Lühike Jalg are used only by pedestrians. Until the 20th century there was no way down from the western side of Toompea except for a foot-path. The stairs were built in 1903 and called Patkul Stairs after Dietrich Friedrich von Patkuli who had been the deputy Governor in Tallinn during the Great Northern War. Pikk Jalg (Long Leg) - the original road leading to the ancient Estonian stronghold (therefore the oldest street in Tallinn) and the only public road connecting the upper and lower town
and genuine ambience, as well as plenty of caffeine to help you up the hill. The gate tower at the end dates from around 1380. Because of the names short and long Tallinn is sometimes called a limping city. Short Leg is also sometimes called street-stairs, because it is made completely out of stairs. The Upper and Lower Towns were connected by the Long Leg street (Pikk jalg) during the Middle Ages. The Short Leg street (Lühike jalg) could only be used by pedestrians, because it is and was only a stairway-street. The relations between the Upper and Lower towns were pretty tense, because both the rich merchants of the Lower Town and the noblemen and knights of the Upper Town wanted to obtain more power. Due to the conflict between the two Towns the merchants in the Lower Town were afraid of raids from the Upper town and they had the street connecting the two Towns fortified with a wall and gatehouses. The new wall has become known as "the Wall of Mistrust"

should he fall, police cordoned off the area, closing the bridge and surrounding roads and causing widespread traffic congestion across the City and east London. The Metropolitan Police were later criticised for maintaining the closure for five days when this was not strictly necessary in the eyes of some citizens. Traffic · Tower Bridge is still a busy and vital crossing of the Thames: it is crossed by over 40,000 people (motorists and pedestrians) every day. · The bascules are raised around 1000 times a year. River traffic is now much reduced, but it still takes priority over road traffic. · In order to maintain the integrity of the historic structure, the City of London Corporation have imposed a 20 miles per hour (32 km/h) speed restriction, and an 18 tonne weight limit on vehicles using the bridge. A sophisticated camera system measures the speed of traffic crossing the bridge,
The city also provides private education. American children must complete 12 years of education. In New York City this lasts from the ages of 6 to 17. Children begin at elementary school, move on to middle school and finish at high school, where most gain a diploma. New York offers a variety of high schools for pupils who want to specialize from their teenage years, for example the School of the Performing Arts. New Yorkers seem to be always on the move. In Manhattan the pavements are full of pedestrians, while cars, buses and taxis jam the roads. Driving in central New York is only for the daring, so people often take one of the famous yellow taxis instead. There are about 12 000 of them in the city. Another way to get around overground is to take a bus. New York's express buses do not make many stops, so they go much faster than regular buses but they still cannot avoid the jams. New York's first subway line opened in 1904. Now the system has 469 stations and is used by
Design: It is a small walled medieval town with inevitable comforting warmth of home. Once in the town you'll feel yourself as in a luxurious and cosy shelter. All this is due to town's small space. Streets are exquisitely narrow and crooked, the layout has labyrinth system. Due to its modest size there is no need for cars, all streets are for pedestrians or bicycles. One can find cycle lanes everywhere. Obviously there are small alleys with oaks, olive and fruit trees which can be found everywhere. The town is mainly famous for its medieval architecture, especially its towers, which may be seen from several kilometres outside the town. In the residential area buildings are low-rised with

The Short and the Long Leg ● Two streets leading up to the Toompea Hill - The Short and the Long Leg, that is why some say that the town is limping. Pikk jalg - in 14th century, connecting upper and lower town, dangerous place, not an easy road; Lühike jalg; in 14th century, belonged to the lower town and only used by pedestrians because it is and was only a stairway street. Due to the conflicts between the merchants in the towns, Wall of Mistrust; all traffic closed at 9pm. St. Nicholas’ Church ● Built in the 13th century, bombed in 1944. Restaurated ever since.

London Authority.[1] Trafalgar Square ranks as the fourth most popular tourist attraction on Earth with more than 15 million visitors a year. Overview The square consists of a large central area surrounded by roadways on three sides, and stairs leading to the National Gallery on the other. The roads which cross the square form part of the A4 road, and prior to 2003, the square was surrounded by a one-way traffic system. Underpasses attached to Charing Cross tube station allow pedestrians to avoid traffic. Recent works have reduced the width of the roads and closed the northern side of the square to traffic. Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square,surrounded by fountains designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1939 (replacing two earlier fountains of Peterhead granite, now at the Wascana Centre and Confederation Park in Canada) and four huge bronze lions sculpted by Sir Edwin Landseer; the metal used is said to have been recycled from the cannon of the French fleet.
Preparatory work was begun in the spring of 1776, and the bridge was completed and opened for traffic in 1784. The Stone Bridge became one of the symbols of Tartu. In 1941 the Soviet forces blew up the bridge, and in 1944 the last remaining part was destroyed. Arched Bridge Since 1959, at the place where the historical Stone Bridge spanned the banks of the Emajõgi River for more than one and a half centuries, stands the Arched Bridge for pedestrians. Market Bridge (Turu Bridge) The Market Bridge was completed in 2003, and in the same year was voted the ,,act of the year" by the citizens of Tartu. Angel's Bridge on Toome Hill The Angel's Bridge, located on Toome hill, was built in the 19th century and spans Lossi Street. The writing on the bridge, "otium reficit vires" (rest restores strength), invites one to use Toome hill as a place of rejuvenation. The bridge, designed by J.W. Krause, was built in
Chinatown Located in between Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue, it is a self- contained jumble of shops, cafes and restaurants that makes up one of London's most distinct and popular ethnic enclaves. Few of a London's 80,000 Chinese actually live in the three small blocks of Chinatown. London Bridge one of the most famous bridges in Capital, London Bridge is located between the City of London and Southwark it is well used by the cars as well as pedestrians who after leaving London Bridge tube station walk across the bridge itself in order to reach the City of London. Nelson's Column Raised in 1843 and now one of London's best-loved monuments, commemorates the one-armed, one-eyed admiral who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Trafalgar, but paid for it with his life. Piccadilly Circus During the weekends' Piccadilly Circus is packed with people. Known for its glowing billboards. St

It displays waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers. · Millenium Bridge - The London Millennium Footbridge is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London. The southern end of the bridge is near Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge has two river piers and is made of three main sections of 81 metres144 metres and 108 metres with a total structure length of 325 metresthe aluminium deck is 4 metres. Approximately 5,000 people can be on the bridge at one time.
be possible. Sticky materials such as mud may adhere to the smooth outer tire surface, while smooth loose objects such as stones can become temporarily embedded in the tread grooves as the tire rolls over the ground. These materials can be ejected from the surface of the tire at high velocity as the tire imparts kinetic energy to the attached objects. For a vehicle moving forward, the top of the tire is rotating upward and forward, and can throw objects into the air at other vehicles or pedestrians in front of the vehicle. In British English, the fender is called the wing (this usually only refers to the panels over the front wheel arches, in modern cars, since the rear 'fenders' are more an integral part of the car's body shape). The equivalent component of a bicycle or motorcycle, or the "cycle wing" style of wing fitted to vintage cars which is not integral with the bodywork, is called a mudguard in Britain, as it guards other road users - and in the case of a
For centuries there was only one means of access to Toompea Pikk Jalg Street. In the middle of the 15th century the Lower Town fenced itself off with these walls from the Upper Town because of the permanent contradictions between the noblemen of Toompea and the citizens of Down Town. At the end of the street there used to be a wooden gate, in place of this a gate-tower was built at the end of the 14th century. At present Pikk Jalg Street is only for pedestrians. There still exists another gate to Toompea Short Leg. It was laid in the 15th century. The massive wooden gate with ironworks dates from the 17th century. Long Leg was used by vehicles. Until the 20th century there was no way down form the western side of Toompea except for a foot-path. The stairs were built in 1903 and are called Patkul Stairs. The name Patkul itself comes from Johann Patkul. He had worked against the Swede, so Patkul was remembered by Russians.

together it becomes clear that a certain reclassification has taken place. Collide, once used mainly of pairs of trains and ships in motion, has expanded its scope, merely as a result of technological change, so as to refer to motor vehicles and aircraft. With this momentum it has been able to achieve generalization not only to the encounter of almost any objects whose paths might cross (e.g. pedestrians, sub-atomic particles, etc.) but also to the meeting of a moving object with a static one (e.g. a car colliding with a tree). 32. Metaphor and metonymy Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Metaphors are based on resemblance. Dead metaphors are metaphors which are no longer figurative (flower-bed, blind corner) Machinery War
wooden arches of Japan may be candidates for World Heritage listing because they perpetuate primitive ingenuity and craft technology that is important to recognize. Since some of their materials cannot be original, these structures will have to pass the test of authenticity. In 51 BC, during the Gallic War, Caesar attested to the construction of narrow wooden bridges by Gallic builders over wide rivers as the Loire, Seine, and Allier of 600ft (200m) span, used by pedestrians and domestic animals. The stone vault probably first sprang forth in Anatolia and the Aegean region of Asia Minor (central and western Turkey) in the 2nd millennium BC for short spans in civic construction. The Mesopotamian civilizations introduced the first major development of brick vaulting in the royal palaces, and also probably the first important arch bridges in the 6th century BC. Roman bridges
I could still feel the pull of him, the inexplicable urge to go back inside where he was. I could make the argument that I hadn't finished what I'd come to the Crossfire to do, but I knew I'd kick myself for it later. How many times was I going to make an ass of myself in one day? "Enough," I scolded myself under my breath. "Moving on." Horns blared as one cab darted in front of another with only inches to spare and then slammed on the brakes as daring pedestrians stepped into the intersection seconds before the light changed. Shouting ensued, a barrage of expletives and hand gestures that didn't carry real anger behind them. In seconds all the parties would forget the exchange, which was just one beat in the natural tempo of the city. As I melded into the flow of foot traffic and set off toward the gym, a smile teased my mouth. Ah, New York, I thought, feeling settled again. You rock.
Stand on a busy sidewalk, pick an empty spot in the sky or on a tall building, and stare at it for a full minute. Very little will happen around you during that time-most people will walk past without glancing up, and virtually no one will stop to stare with you. Now, on the next day, go to the same place and bring along four friends to look upward too. Within 60 seconds, a crowd of passersby will have stopped to crane their necks skyward with the group. For those pedestrians who do not join you, the pressure to look up at least briefly will be nearly irresistable; if the results of your experiment are like those of one performed by three social psychologists in New York, you and your friends will cause 80 percent of all passersby to lift their gaze to your empty spot (Milgram, Bickman, &. Berkowitz, 1969). I "fW Chapter 4 SOCIAL PROOF withdrawn preschool children. We have all seen children of this sort: terribly shy,
ever so slightly farther behind with every step. Maybe they realized they had scared me and were sorry. I saw two cars going north pass the intersection I was heading for, and I exhaled in relief. There would be more people around once I got off this deserted street. I skipped around the corner with a grateful sigh. And skidded to a stop. The street was lined on both sides by blank, doorless, windowless walls. I could see in the distance, two intersections down, streetlamps, cars, and more pedestrians, but they were all too far away. Because lounging against the western building, midway down the street, were the other two men from the group, both watching with excited smiles as I froze dead on the sidewalk. I realized then that I wasn't being followed. I was being herded. I paused for only a second, but it felt like a very long time. I turned then and darted to the other side of the road. I had a sinking feeling that it was a wasted attempt. The footsteps behind me were louder now.
