Michelangelo truly had achieved fame as an artist, and his talent became sought after by Pope Julius II, who asked him to go on a very artistic ship-journey, a commission to paint the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in Vatican. At first, Michelangelo, who had been busy painting frescos in Pope Julius' tomb, refused his descendant's request, feeling that the undertaking of such a monumental task would take him away from sculpturing but the Pope insisted, and his word prevailed. Ironically, Michelangelo's work on the chapel ceiling broadened from the original request, which called for twelve paintings. Instead, he covered the entire ceiling with over 300 figures. The next big project for Michelangelo was to paint the altar wall by Pope Clement VII, shortly before his death. The fresco in question was that of The Last Judgment, a vivid rendition of the Apocalypse and of Heaven and Hell. But Michelangelo refused to do it

The south of England: straight from Rome (St Augustine settled in Canterbury in 597) Scotland and northern England: from Ireland Roman Christianity soon prevailed Anglo-Saxon poetry: a peculiar combination of pagan traditions and the Christian belief No written literature at first Stories and poems were to be memorised Letters called "runes" carved in wood and stone Fighting everyone in sight A king's power was not hereditary, depended on the ability to win battles The power of the kingdom depended on the strength of its king in battle Danish raids In the 8th c Vikings, Norsemen or Danes invaded
Many of these are migratory, including the swallow. Most of Ireland's bird species come from Iceland, Greenland, Africa among other territories. There are no snakes in Ireland and only one reptile (the common lizard) is native to the country. Extinct species include the great Irish elk, the wolf, the great auk, and others. Some previously extinct birds such as the golden eagle have recently been reintroduced after decades of extirpation. History **** A long cold climatic spell prevailed until about 9,000 years ago, and most of Ireland was covered with ice. This era was known as the Ice Age. Population The populaion of Republic of Ireland is about three and a half million people and two offical languages English, and Gaelic, which is spoken by about half a million people. Economy **** Culture For an island of relatively small population, Ireland has made a disproportionately large contribution to world literature in all its branches, mainly in English
Mud particles stirred up by the wave action contribute to turbidity. The zooplankton of the lake consists of smaller animals building up the summer biomass. The amount of bottom animals is low but variable in different years. pic: plaktonic algae About 35 fish species are in Lake Võrtsjärv. Pike-perch, eel, bream and pike are the most important commercial fishes. In the fifties and sixties Võrtsjärv was known as a ruff lake since inferior fish prevailed in catches. After the application of measures proposed by scientists of the Limnological Station ,big and valuable fish species became dominating. The natural eel have been caught in some years. The total yearly fish catch averages over 400 tons in Lake Võrtsjärv, with the share of valuable fish 60-70%. Pic: eels The coastal area of Lake

the emergence of Ferdinand and Isabella as the rulers of an expansionist empire eager to spread Christianity to distant lands and increase the wealth and power of Spain in the process.. Immediately after Christopher Columbus's discovery of the Americas in 1492, Spain began a series of expeditions into North, Central and South America. In 1519 Hernan Cortes began a campaign to conquer Tenochtitlan. It took several years but eventually he prevailed. The Aztec capital was razed to the ground and replaced by Mexico City. Mexico City quickly became the political/military center for most of Spain's possessions in North and Central America - what they were to call New Spain. The conquistadores brought great wealth to the throne but they also posed potential political risks as they grew stronger. The Spanish monarchy sought to neutralize those risks. A royal judicial body, the audencia,
"Good heaven! my dear Isabella, what do you mean? Can you can you really be in love with James?" The news came as a big surprise for Catherine because she did not notice anything going on between them. John Thrope had to leave Bath for several weeks and he left with a false impression that Catherine is in love with him, even though she did not realize this. Soon Eleanor and her father General Tilney invited Catherine to visit their home in Northanger Abbey. "Can you, in short, be prevailed to quit this scene of public triumph and oblige your friend Eleanor with your company in Gloucestershire?" Catherine accepted the invitation delighted with having a chance of visiting a real abbey and also spending more time with Henry Tilney. Before Catherine left, Isabella told her that John was going to propose to her but Catherine asked Isabella to write an apology letter to her brother, telling that this was a misunderstanding. Henry's older brother, captain Frederick Tilney arrived in Bath
went under Swedish control, the southern part belonged to Poland and the islands to Denmark. Only in1629 the whole mainland Estonia became subject to Sweden. Under Swedish rule the University of Tartu was founded in 1632 and also the oldest school working on the same premises was founded in Tallinn (GAG).After the Northern War (1700-1721) Estonia became a province of Russia. During that period the gentry of Baltic-German origin prevailed in Estonia. They kept estates in Estonia until 1919. Under Russian rule the Palace of Kadriorg was built and the park was laid out. The National Awakening in the middle of the 19th century brought rapid advances in the Estonian education system, general living conditions and culture. The national epic "Kalevipoeg" was published, theatre and music societies appeared and the 1st Song Festival was held in Tartu in 1869. Since then the Song Festivals have become a
At the time the region was inhabited by Frisians, a Germanic tribe that lived in the north, and by other Germanic and minor Celtic tribes. (3) 2.2 The Roman Era Before the conquest, the Romans had annexed lands to the southeast extending beyond the Rhine River. They penetrated the Netherlands region mainly to control the several mouths of the Rhine, which were then farther to the north than they are now. Under Roman rule, general peace and prosperity prevailed for more than 250 years. Roman traders entered the area freely, selling products from Italy and Gaul. The Romans built temples, established a number of large farms, and introduced their civilization to the region. About AD 300 the hold by the Romans began to weaken, and no indigenous German tribes pushed into the area from the east. The Frisians, in the north, held their ground, but Saxons occupied the eastern part of the region, and the Franks moved into the west and south. (3) 2
Beckett ended up being murdered in Canterbury's cathedral in 1170. Henry II reign ended in 1189 and the next King of England was his third son Richard. Richard lead the country for 10 years and he was succeeded by Henry II's fifth son John. In 1215 King John was forced by the Barons to sign the Magna Carta, which was a collection of 37 English laws. The purpose of the Magna Carta was to curb the King and make him govern by the old English laws that had prevailed before the Normans came. King John's reign lasted until 1216. Then the power was taken over by his son King Henry III. He leaded England for a very long time, until 1272. He was succeeded by his son Edward I. Edward I conquered Wales in 1284. He also tried to conquer Scotland and it even went right for him but only temporarily. Under the direction of Robert Bruce Scotland managed to restore its independence. In 1307 he was succeeded by Edward II, his son. In 1311-1315 there was the Great Famine
and the four modern Sunni Madh'habs were established. Islamic law was advanced greatly by the efforts of the early 9th century jurist al-Shafi'i; he codified a method to establish the reliability of hadith, a topic which had been a locus of dispute among Islamic scholars. Philosophers Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Al-Farabi sought to incorporate Greek principles into Islamic theology, while others like the 11th century theologian Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali argued against them and ultimately prevailed. Sufism became a full-fledged movement that had moved towards mysticism and away from its ascetic roots, while Shi'ism split due to disagreements over the succession of Imams. The spread of the Islamic dominion induced hostility among medieval ecclesiastical Christian authors who saw Islam as an adversary in the light of the large numbers of new Muslim converts. This opposition resulted in polemical treatises which depicted Islam as the religion of the

the order one more time. Although the main building of the church dates back to those times, the medieval cathedral was quite different from the present appearance. For example, the tower on the western side of the church was built only in the 18 th century, the annexes of the southern side date back to the 16 th -18th centuries and those on the northern side to the 15th century. While the Lutheran reformation movement had prevailed in the churches of downtown Tallinn by 1524, the Toompea cathedral held Catholic services until 1561, when the Kingdom of Sweden gained control over Tallinn. A library was established at the church in 1641. The copper roof was built thanks to the donation of Queen Christina in 1651. While nearly the entire Toompea burnt down in a fire in 1433, the fire of 1684 was even more devastating. Only the walls of the church survived the whole wooden interior
well, and by that time most likely Captain Carter would be at Meryton again. And when you have given your ball," she added, "I shall insist on their giving one also. I shall tell Colonel Forster it will be quite a shame if he does not." Mrs. Bennet and her daughters then departed, and Elizabeth returned instantly to Jane, leaving her own and her relations' behaviour to the remarks of the two ladies and Mr. Darcy; the latter of whom, however, could not be prevailed on to join in their censure of her, in spite of all Miss Bingley's witticisms on fine eyes. Chapter 10 The day passed much as the day before had done. Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley had spent some hours of the morning with the invalid, who continued, though slowly, to mend; and in the evening Elizabeth joined their party in the drawing-room. The loo-table, however, did not appear. Mr
personnel and material base; on the other hand, the factors that had made Russian studies one of the favoured philological disciplines in the past ceased to be significant. What followed was a perceptible drop in the number of applicants for the Russian teaching programme as Russian gradually lost its dominant position at primary and secondary schools. In terms of research, literary studies, which had appeared to be less productive for decades, prevailed over Russian linguistics. Part 1. Linguistics Linguistics is often said to deal with language as a universal human faculty. Nonetheless, scholarly reflection on language and linguistic inquiry strongly interact with society: on the one hand, societal developments determine the linguistic agenda to a greater extent than linguists are prepared to admit; on the other hand, linguistic reflection sometimes sets the agenda for changes in a society, especially through educational systems.
When the American iron industry caught up with Europe's by the mid-19th century, bridge building took the direction of composite pin-connected trusses, with sophisticated castings for joint blocks and compression members, and forged eyebars and wrought-iron rods for tension members, all fabricated to high tolerances. This allowed them to be assembled easily and inexpensively in the field by unskilled labour using simple tools and erection techniques. The system prevailed in the USA because that country lacked a skilled labour force, and the remoteness of many bridge sites hampered the use of sophisticated machinery or the shipping of large bridge parts over long distances. A spirited debate ensued between England and the former colony during the last quarter of the 19th century over which system was best: easily erected pin-connected trusses on the "American plan," or European-style riveted trusses. Even though the
Ukraine's economy contracted annually between 9.7 and 22.7 percent in 19911996. The country experienced hyperinflation and an exceptionally huge production decline for a country not ravaged by a major war. Official GDP collapsed by almost half from 1990 to 1994, and slow decline continued throughout the decade. Economic growth would not resume again until 2000. The budget deficit was, at 14.4 percent of GDP, exceptionally large. Barter and the use of surrogate moneys and foreign currencies prevailed. Ukraine had introduced a sovereign currency, the Hryvnia, but it was little used. A shadow economy swelled and compensated for an unknown share of the economic collapse. 2001-2008 Between 2001 and 2008, the Ukrainian economy picked up significantly. Many of Ukraine's large-scale capitalists--the oligarchs--are former Soviet-era industrial managers who succeeded on a grand scale when industries were privatized. Their wealth was originally
107 Fig. 9.8.10 Screenshots from the fabricators in-house software for reinforcement fabrication, showing rebar data imported directly from Tekla reports extracted from the bridge model. Rebar was installed on site by Funnly, who only used paper drawings for their work on site. The extremely wet and cold conditions that prevailed on site for most of the construction duration precluded direct use of a laptop or other computer to provide model views at the work face, and Funnly did not have any staff available who could operate modelling software. However, for a number of reasons, the 2D drawings produce by WSP from the model were often inadequate for the rebar installers. As explained above, the bridge reinforcing was dense and complex, and the drawings produced by the standard
extensive. Generally in the first orchestral compositions by Rudolf Tobias, Aleksander Läte and Artur Kapp we can discern notable national-romantic tendencies. To be precise it was the classical-romantic background that gave impetus to their development. This was nothing extraordinary because influences from German and Russian music were still perceptible. In subject matter and creative approach we can draw parallels with painting and sculpture where the precepts of academic art prevailed before the turn of the century: the artists had a similar educational background and many had studied in St. Petersburg. II. THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 20TH CENTURY. ARTUR LEMBA: THE BEGINNING OF ESTONIAN SYMPHONY AND OPERA. The Russian revolution of 1905 gave a strong incentive for further developments both in the social and spiritual spheres in Estonia. This was the time for the extensive formation of a middle class in Estonia and the deepening of social contradictions within the nation
AMBER AND RUSSET - LATE COLOUR CHANGE GENES Copyright 2014, Sarah Hartwell The ancestors of the domestic cat were nondescript black/brown striped tabbies. Over the centuries, mutation produced a wide array of colours based on 2 different pigments. Eumelanin gives the blacks, browns and blues while phaeomelanin gives the reds, fawns and creams. A few other genes give further variations on those colours such silvers, colourpoints and solids/selfs. Mutations continue to occur and unexpected colours also turn up due to inbreeding where recessive genes, hidden for generations, start showing up. AMBER AND LIGHT AMBER During the 1990s, some purebred Norwegian Forest Cats in Sweden produced chocolate/lilac and cinnamon/fawn offspring. However, those colours are not found in the purebred Norwegian Forest Cat gene pool. Had the gene pool become polluted by someone, perhaps generations ago, breeding their Norwegian Forest Cat to another breed? ...
deferred position in the priority list, an average of two to four days elapsed between interception and translation. The code clerk in Honolulu enveloped Yoshikawa's final messages in PA-K2 only because higher-level codes had been destroyed December 2 on orders from Tokyo. Normally, espionage reports of shipping movements and military activities, sent routinely by Japanese consuls from their posts all over the world, were framed on that next level of secrecy. Here prevailed a succession of codes called TSU by the Japanese and the J series by Americans. These were even more extensive and more thoroughly disarranged than PA, and they were transposed by a system of far greater complexity than the rather simple and vulnerable K2. Furthermore, the code and the transposition were changed at frequent intervals. Thus J17-K6 was replaced on March 1 by J18-K8, and that in turn by J19-K9 on August 1. The transposition was the real stumbling block. Like the K2, it used a

W a l t weathered a squall of controversy around O l d Yeller s death, and later came to feel that killing off a beloved character was a breach of his contract with the audience. W h e n the question came up on the animated adaptation of The Jungle Book, Walt insisted, " T h e bear lives!" In the end, it was decided that The Lion King would confront death directly, and the scene was shot as originally boarded. T h e arguments that prevailed were that the movie was striving for the realism of a nature documentary, that the audience was used to seeing realistic treatments of animal violence, and that we were making a movie for the entire spectrum of the audience, not just for infants who might be traumatized by the scene. I agreed with this choice, feeling that it was true to the animal world we were trying to depict, but was somewhat disappointed when the
