Tauširo keele kõnelejad lugesid harilikult arve ainult kümneni, kasutades seejuures sõrmi. Näiteks "üks" tauširo keeles on "washikanto". Selleks, et nimetada mõnda kümnest suuremat numbrit, öeldi "ashintu" ja osutati varbale. 2008 aastal läbi viidud tauširo keele uuringuga jõuti järeldusele, et ainult üks inimene räägib seda soravalt. Sellest peale on tauširo keel peaaegu väljasurnud keelte nimekirjas. (http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-rarest-languages.php 29.10.15) 2008 aastast pärinevatel andmetel on teada, et tauširo kõnelejate vähenemises on süüdi samal aastakümnel puhkenud nakkushaigus (st 2008 paiku) ning samuti etnilise grupi liikmete abiellumine hispaania või quechua keele kõnelejatega, mille tulemusena ongi järel vaid üks inimene, kes vabalt tauširo keelt kõneleb.

grown rapidly. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered animals as 40 percent of all organisms. Recent research indicates that 70% of the world's most threatened mammal species are currently receiving little or no conservation attention.On 29 January 2010, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species identified 842 extinct species and subspecies. b) The rarest animal on Earth today is the Pinta Island Tortoise (originating from the Galapagos Islands) , which is critically endangered, since there is only one remaining in existence. Tortoises on the Galápagos have been hunted for their meat by sailors and fishermen to the point of extinction. Also, the habitat of the tortoises has been eaten away by goats introduced from the mainland. There have been several attempts to breed the last representative of the
In 1346 the King of Denmark handed over his supremacy over Estonia to the Teutonic Order. As a member of the Hanseatic League, Tallinn gained control of trade with the East by the so-called goods yard right. Fast development of trade and economic prosperity led to the need for new utility rooms in the Town Hall and its more dignified appearance. In 137174 the Town Hall acquired its full present-day length and ground floor volume. From that time the Town Hall has its oldest and rarest pieces of medieval woodcarving: benches in the Gothic style. The carved side posts of the bigger bench, featuring the story of Tristan and Isolde and Samson's fight with the lion, are some of the most beautiful examples of medieval art in Estonia. In 140204 the existing Town Hall was rebuilt into a two-storied building with festive halls, utility rooms and offices with the room layout defined by the foundations. A tower was put up at the east end

Tallinn Town Hall Tallinn Town Hall is one of the most important symbols of the city and a unique architectural monument in Europe. The Town Hall, established in the heart of the city in the 13th century, was completed in its current shape in 1404 and it is the only preserved Gothic style town hall in Northern Europe. The rarest objects of art in the Town Hall include the carved bench backs from the 14th and 15th centuries and 16th century wall paintings in the city government hall. The Town Hall is still an important building for the city government and is used for official receptions and concerts for up to 120 people. It is a vanue for festivals or concerts like Tallinn Old Town Days. Tallinn Town Hall Coordinates 59°26'13''N 24°44'43''E Location on the map Modern City of Tallinn
through the Scandinavia and the Island of Gotland to Maarjamaa. · Panga Bank is the highest of the banks of the Northern coast of Saaremaa and Muhu. The maximum height of the Bank is 21.3m and the reach about 2.5km. In the highest point of the Bank an ancient sacrifice place is situated, where sacrifices to the sea were made in the old times. · The Field of the Kaali Meteorite Craters in Central Saaremaa is the rarest nature remembrance in Estonia, being at the same time also the most impressive field of craters in Eurasia. The biggest crater has a diameter of 110m and is 16 meters deep. There are eight craters found in the surrounding area. The Kaali Meteorite is the last (ca 7500 yrs ago) giant meteorite fallen to the densely inhabited area in the world. · he River Võhandu is the longest river in Estonia 156km, with its source in the
the oldest lighthouses in the world, having been in continuous use since its completion in 1531. The lighthouse is built at the top of the highest hillock of Hiiumaa island, Tornimägi. The lighthouse marks the Hiiu sandbank and warns ships away from the shoreline. The height of the building itself is 36 metres, and the light is 102.6 metres above sea level, making it the highest coastal light on the Baltic Sea. 10. Kaali crater The meteorite crater field in Kaali, Saaremaa, is the rarest natural monument in Estonia as well as the most impressive crater field of the whole Eurasia. The Kaali meteorite was the last giant meteorite that fell in a densely populated region of the world. Its fall on the inhabited island of Saaremaa evidently caused extensive damage and possibly also numerous victims, it has been compared with an explosion of a small nuclear bomb. The fall of the meteorite was historically remarkable as an event and for its influences on human culture.
individuals left, it is regarded by many scientists as being "functionally extinct" in the wild. But a group called Save China's Tigers has been working on a captive- breeding programme and hopes to reach an agreement with China's State Forestry Administration to reintroduce captive-bred animals into the wild. If all goes well, the first individuals could be reintroduced to coincide with the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. Rare insect hit by housing scheme Britain's rarest beetle, the streaked bombardier, could soon become extinct in the UK when a new housing development is built over the single site at which it can be found, a brownfield site on the Thames Estuary in East London. "It is very sad that a deliberate choice has been made to plough on with the development, regardless of the consequences to wildlife," said Jamie Roberts of the invertebrate conservation group Buglife. A last ditch attempt is being made to move the beetles to a

TRUTH IN LITERATURE Art offers truth as well as pleasure. What kind of truth? WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR (17751864) THERE IS A FLOWER I WISH TO WEAR, BUT NOT UNTIL FIRST WORN BY YOU HEART'S EASE OF ALL EARTH'S FLOWERS MOST RARE BRING IT, AND BRING ENOUGH FOR TWO. Is it true that the flower is the earth's rarest flower? If we want to know about flowers hadn't we better listen to botanists than poets? Isn't it apparent that whatever value Landor's poem has is not in its botany? THE NATURE OF LITERATURE: THE IMITATIVE THEORY Art is an imitation of something. Poetics Aristotle (384322B.C.): A form is presented in a substance not natural to it: Michelangelo imitates Moses in stone Shakespeare imitated Caesar in an actor's words and gestures
is the warmest that is why many corals live in the seas. The skeletons of these tiny organisms have formed a great belt of coral the Great Barrier Reef. It is 2000 kilometres long and 2-150 kilometres wide. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef on earth. Tourists from everywhere visit it because it is a unique natural phenomenon. There can be found more than 300 varieties of corals with colours ranging from pale blue to bright yellow. Recently, black coral, the rarest of type all, was found on one of the reefs. There are also big-game fish, like the coral cod, which weighs up to 200 pounds. The Relief. Australia is a low and old continent. Its relief is simple plains cover the greater part of it. West Australia was once part of Gondwanaland (manner, mis koosnes erinevate maailmajagude osadest). The Western Plateau consists of tablelands and some mountains of denudation. Most of the rocks have turned into sand
and when the polyp dies its shell hardens. When the number of these little creatures increases, fantastically beautiful shapes that we know as corals are form. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is sometimes referred to as the single largest organism in the world. More than 300 varieties of coral ranging from pale blue to bright yellow can be found. Recently, black coral, the rarest type of all, was found on one of the reefs. Lakes Most of the lakes in Australia are filled with water after rains only. Lake Eyre is, on the rare occasions that it fills, the largest lake in Australia and is the lowest point in Australia, at approximately 15 m. The lake is located in the deserts of central Australia, in northern South Australia. Even in the dry season there is usually some water remaining in Lake Eyre, Rivers

Of such a joy as fills my every wish. ELMIRE You mean you cannot love terrestrial things. TARTUFFE The heart within my bosom is not stone. ELMIRE I well believe your sighs all tend to Heaven, And nothing here below can stay your thoughts. TARTUFFE Love for the beauty of eternal things Cannot destroy our love for earthly beauty; Our mortal senses well may be entranced By perfect works that Heaven has fashioned here. Its charms reflected shine in such as you, And in yourself, its rarest miracles; It has displayed such marvels in your face, That eyes are dazed, and hearts are rapt away; I could not look on you, the perfect creature, Without admiring Nature's great Creator, And feeling all my heart inflamed with love For you, His fairest image of Himself. At first I trembled lest this secret love Might be the Evil Spirit's artful snare; I even schooled my heart to flee your beauty, Thinking it was a bar to my salvation. But soon, enlightened, O all lovely one,
" he began. "Some people love chocolate ice cream, others prefer strawberry?" I nodded. "Sorry about the food analogy -- I couldn't think of another way to explain." I smiled. He smiled ruefully back. "You see, every person smells different, has a different essence. If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, he'd gladly drink it. But he could resist, if he wished to, if he were a recovering alcoholic. Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac -- and filled the room with its warm aroma -- how do you think he would fare then?" We sat silently, looking into each other's eyes -- trying to read each other's thoughts. He broke the silence first. "Maybe that's not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead." "So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
like one of those sleek dragon-ships the Vikings made. T h e spine of the story is like the keel, the major plot points are the ribs, and the individual scenes and lines of dialogue are the planks and rigging that complete the vessel, a vehicle for your vision that you hope will sail on the seas of public attention. Another insight from the editing room was a greater appreciation of the i m portance of focus. I realized that focused attention is one of the rarest things in the world, and that an audience is giving a lot when they devote their full attention to your work for two hours. There is only so much focus available in a given work, and it seems the more elements you take out of a composition, the more focus is poured into those that remain. Cutting lines, pauses, and entire scenes sharpened the focus on the elements that were left, as if a large number of diffuse spotlights had been
Kufa, and Baghdad to elucidate its meanings. Among other studies, they counted the frequency of words to attempt a chronology for the chapters of the Koran, certain words being considered as having been used only in the later chapters. Lexicography advanced this. In making a dictionary, considerations of letter-frequency and of which letters go or do not go together virtually thrust themselves upon the lexicographer. For example, the Arabs recognized early that za' was the rarest letter in Arabic and, contrariwise, that the omnipresence of the definite article "al- " made alif and lam the most common letters in normal style. The Ibn ad-Duraihim—Qalqashandi exposition begins at the beginning: the cryptanalyst must know the language in which the cryptogram is written. Because Arabic, "the noblest and most exalted of all languages," is "the one most frequently resorted to" (in that part of the world), there follows an extensive discussion of its linguistic
