west. In 1482 Columbus tried to interest the Portugese king, Joao III, in his journey. The Portugese king had tried to find a route to the Indies from the east for a long time. Columbus explained that he believed he could reach the Indies from the west. In 1483 the Portugese king told Columbus that he would not pay for the journey because he did not believe that Columbus could find the Indies from the west. Columbus decided to ask the joint rulers of Spain, King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castille, if they would pay for the journey. They met Columbus and said that they would look at his plans with their own navigators. In 1490 the Spanish navigators told the King and Queen that they thought Columbus had made some mistakes with his plans and they should not agree to the journey. During this time Columbus tried to interest the kings of France and England in his plans. They were not interested either
To: Tallinn Tourism Office From: Edgar Rootalu Date: 05.12.2008 Subject: Tourist capabilities in Tallinn Tallinn is a very good city for tourism. It has populatin of 403 547 people to be exact, so its not very crowded and not a hamlet too. There's plenty to do in this historic city. Tallinn really has a long history of its names and flag. There have been many rulers with different nationalities, so there are marks of their architecture too. There are very many positive things connected with that city: · Tallinn has a very special old town that you cannot find in any other countries. It has middle age architecture combined with little modern one. · Kadriorg palace ensemble is beautiful place, especially in Spirng when teh nature is ,,waking up".
military expansionism over the century. Near the end of the Middle Ages, the role of government in England underwent many changes. From the Magna Carta to the creation of the English Parliament, England laid the foundation for representative government and regulated sovereignty. The Magna Carta clearly defined the ancient rights and privileges of the people 1. It established the principle that the king no longer had absolute control, and prevented English rulers from taking advantage of their subjects. Later, England would institute a Parliament to allow British nobles the opportunity to voice their opinions in political matters. This entire process moved the world one step closer to the types of governments that are seen today. 3.12.2012

Paldiski and visited Tallinn several times. Together with the site of the would-be palace, a summer estate and a 17th-century cottage that had belonged to town councillor von Drenteln were purchased for the emperor's use in 1713. The small cottage was enlarged with a wing and the outcome was a building with a hall, a kitchen and four rooms. The small summer residence was in use until the emperor's death. The succeeding rulers used the Palace of Kadriorg that had been completed only after Peter's death and the small building was neglected. The building was restored at the order of Emperor Alexander I after he visited Tallinn in 1804. The wing, however, was not. The kitchen was reconstructed and a dining room was built above it on the first floor that had not existed before. Since then the building has been maintained all the time and today it is the only

the effect of the nowaday monopolies and explotation of the citizenz by the local businessmen. One point in favour of globalization is that it causes faster economic growth in all countries including the poor countries, lower prices of foods, drugs, clothes and shelter. Greater opportunities for skilled persons both locally and abroad and of course better understanding among the peoples of different countries. In spite of that the current rulers and dominators are not willing to agree with globalization, because they have their own vested interests, especially in socialist, communist and poor countries. Currently they don't have to compete with the efficient and skilled Word. They have arranged their own monopolies to make the best financial gains and most comfortable lives. With globalization they would have to work hard to maintain their income

Kadrioru Palace Kadrioru Palace is a palace built for Chatherine 1 of Russia by Peter the Great in Tallinn, in Estonia, in 1718. It was built after the Great Northern War. The palace was desinged by the Italian architect Nicola Michetti. Kadrioru Palace has always been the crown jewel of Tallinn. Most of the Russian rulers visited the imperial summer residence. Great changes in the life and in the interior of the palace occurred in the first half of the 19th century, when Tallinn which had become a fashionable holiday resort, was often visited by Nicholas 1 and his family. In 2000, the palace was opened as the Kadriorg Art Museum, which displays the largest collection of old Russian and Western European art in Estonia.

Hobbes mainly leans on the idea that for the search of happiness people usually try to maximize their power. (Wolff, 1996) Locke says that it is possible to live without a state. Nature condition is a condition of total freedom, it is fair and connected to natural laws. (Wolff, 1996) Locke also says that it is obvious that no-one has natural right to rule because the God has not designate anyone to do it. Locke explains that even if we do not have rulers on the Earth, we have the ruler in heaven. (Wolff, 1996) Rousseau believes that it is impossible to live without the state. To opposite this belief, anarchists insist that we offer the state as a way against antisocial behaviour, but mainly they think that the state is the reason of that kind of behaviour. (Wolff, 1996) Who should rule? Which should the government be? Who should rule? There are a lot of different theories about the problem of power

Napoleon acted like a cruel dictator and changed the life on the farm into chaos. In the real world it is all the same. At first people who want power promise different things that they would do to make the life better and easier. They tell the others about how much effort they will put in their future work and tasks. Unfortunately many or even the most of those promises are never kept. As soon as a person or a political party gets the power they tend to forget their words. The life of the rulers automatically changes for the better when they get their high position and because of that they very often forget the previous ideals, promises and beliefs. On the Animal Farm Napoleon and the other pigs promised the animals that their life will be way better than it was before, that all the animals are equal and should be treated much better, but as soon as the pigs got the power they did not care about the well-being of the animals very much anymore
The Romans spoke and wrote in Latin and many of our words are based on Latin words. The Calendar the calendar we use today is more than 2,000 years old? It was started by Julius Caesar, a Roman ruler. It is based on the movement of the earth around the sun, and so is called the 'solar calendar.' The solar calendar has 365 days a year, and 366 days every leap year, or every fourth year. The names of our months are taken from the names of Roman gods and rulers. The month 'July,' in fact, is named after Julius Caesar himself! Laws and a legal system The laws and ways we determine what to do with someone who is accused of breaking a law came originally from the Roman Empire. The Census The Roman Empire was huge and included millions of people living over a large area. How did they keep track of all these people? Easy! They counted them!

Estonian War of Independence During World War I the greatest colonial power in Europe the Russian Empire seized to exist. On its ruins the formerly enchained nations founded their own states. Among them was the Estonian Republic, officially declared on February 24, 1918. When Germany surrendered to the Western Allies on November 11, 1918 a strategic vacuum arose in Eastern Europe. The new rulers of Russia the Bolsheviks decided to use it as a proper moment to re-conquer their lost territories. The ultimate goal was international communist revolution and Germany was the first standing on their way. Thus on November 13, 1918 the Government of Soviet Russia denounced peace with Germany. On November 16 the Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army, Jukums Vacietis, gave orders to start a massive attack on a long front from the Gulf of Finland to the Ukraine.

urku, Finland.Tallinn is the oldest capital inNorthern Europe. The city was known as Reval from the 13th century until the 1920s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallinn Old Tallinn The Old Town can historically be divided into two distinct areas: Toompea Hill and the Lower Old Town, which were separated by a dividing wall since medieval times. The elevated area of Toompea Hill with its castle was occupied by the residences of Tallinn's rulers and gentry. The Lower Old Town meanwhile developed as an autonomous merchantile centre, flourishing during the 13th-16th centuries, when the city enjoyed membership of the powerful Hanseatic Trading League. Generally speaking these two districts are now collectively referred as the Old Town. The Town wall and towers Medieval fortresses, which emerged during the development of the medieval town at the end of the 13th century, surrounded the city centre as a closed defence zone
Spanish California The fifteenth century saw the completion of the reconquest of Spain and 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
William's policies cost English many of their liberties, but brought them peace and order. To understand the idea of kingship and lordship in the early Middle Ages it is important to realise that at this time there was little or no idea of nationalism. William controlled two large areas: Normandy, which he had been given by his father, and England, which he had won in war. Both were personal possessions, and it did not matter to the rulers that the ordinary people of one place were English while those of another were French. To William the important difference between Normandy and England was that as duke of Normandy he had to recognise the king of France as his lord, whereas in England he was king with no lord above him. The last Norman kings William II (Rufus) (1087 - 1100) When William died, in 1087, he left the Duchy of Normandy to his elder son, Robert. He gave England to his second son, William
Sigismund's rule in return for religious tolerance; the Taborites kept fighting, only to be defeated in the same year at the Battle of Lipany. Following Sigismund's death, George of Podbrady (Jií z Podbrad) ruled as Bohemia's one and only Hussite king, from 1452 to 1471, with the backing of Utraquist forces. He was centuries ahead of his time in suggesting a European council to solve international problems by diplomacy rather than war, but he couldn't convince the major European rulers or the pope. After George's death two weak kings from the Polish Jagiellonian dynasty ruled Bohemia, though real power lay with the Utraquist nobles, the so-called Bohemian Estates. INDEPENDENCE Czechs had no interest in fighting for their Austrian masters in WWI, and neighbouring Slovaks felt the same about their Hungarian rulers. Many defected to renegade legions fighting against the Germans and Austrians.

For early Islamic jurists, theory was less important than pragmatic application of the law. In the 9th century, the jurist ashShafi'i provided a theoretical basis for Islamic law by codifying the principles of jurisprudence (including the four fundamental roots) in his book arRislah. Religion and state Islamic law does not distinguish between "matters of church" and "matters of state"; the ulema function as both jurists and theologians. In practice, Islamic rulers frequently bypassed the Sharia courts with a parallel system of socalled "Grievance courts" over which they had sole control. As the Muslim world came into contact with Western secular ideals, Muslim societies responded in different ways. Turkey has been governed as a secular state ever since the reforms of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. In contrast, the 1979 Iranian Revolution replaced a mostly secular regime with an Islamic republic led by the Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini. Etiquette and diet
England. Tudor England Tudor period was between 1485-1603. First King of Tudor period was Henry VII. He won the House of Lancaster in the War of Roses. On his reign Britain started to improve financially. Also people started to live in the cities, mostly middle class people.Renaissance was revived and education improved, because of the printing press. In 1509 Henry VIII became king. He is of course one of the most famous rulers in Britain. Most people know him because he had many wievs, from who he killed most. But actually he did many other things worth remembering. He made the Reformation what made him the head of english Anglican church. He wanted to extend his power and also Pope did not let him divorce. English Royal Navy was his creation. Elizabeth I reign is also called the Golden Age of England. On her reign tradeing improved and English fleet was one of the biggest in the world
Gradually over the next centuries the whole region came to be called the Low Countries, or Netherlands, including present-day Belgium. (3) 7 During the 9th and 10th centuries Scandinavian raiders, called Vikings, frequently invaded the coastal areas, sailing far up the rivers in search of loot. The need for a stronger system of defenses against such marauders gradually led to an increase in the power of the local rulers and their vassals, the nobles, who were largely a warrior class. Concurrently, the towns began to grow in importance, as artisans and merchants settled in them and improved their defenses. The gradual development of powerful towns was a notable feature of Dutch history during the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, and the area became an important trading centre. Under the leadership of wealthy merchants the towns began to challenge the power of the nobles who ruled the countryside
Victoria's long reign saw many changes in British constitutions and the British `way of life'. Her rejection of the amusements and life of the aristocracy enabled the common people to identify themselves with this simple wife and window, which led to a revival of popular support for the monarchy. She stressed the value of family and she had middle-class views and life-style. The House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha (the Windsors) are the rulers of Birtain from 1901 until now. The current queen is Elizabeth II. The United Kingdom is one of the most influential countries in the world. Its highly developed industry and education make the country very important. I recommend to everybody to visit the country because the history and culture are very interesting and diverse.

The ruler of the empire, Vladimir, decided that the main religion is going to be Greek Orthodoxy. The next ruler Yaroslav started making basic laws for the empire ( " H i s t o r y a n d c u l t u r e , " ) . Over the next few hundred years, new invaders- Mongols settled in on the Russian territories. They made big improvements in the empire. For the first time the city Moscow became an important centre. Over time the Rurik dynasty in Russia had had 7 rulers. The first czar was appointed in 1547- Ivan IV the terrible. After Ivan IV the terrible died the "Time of Troubles" began. The next czar was Michael Romanov, whose family ruled the empire for the next 300 years. The Romanov's couldn't make many changes in the empire's economy and political life ( " H i s t o r y o f r u s s i a , " ) . At the beginning of the 19th century Napoleon started his invasions to The Russian Empire. The czar at that time was Alexander I
At the end of the 12th cent. there had been sharp rise in prices. Monasteries became centres of wealth & learning. Priests couldn't be married any longer. A new movement, the ,,brotherhood" of friars, wandering preachers, appeared. They were not interested in church power, but in the souls of ordinary people. Dealing with the Celts. William I had allowed his lords to win land in Wales. These Normans built castles, mixed with the Welsh. It was a new class, mixture of Norman & Welsh rulers who spoke Norman French & Welsh but not English. They became vassals of the English king. The Welsh who lived around Snowdon were free from English rule. They were led by Llywelyn ap Gruffyd, who tried to be independent. Ed I was determined to bring Wales completely under his control. The English army invaded Wales in 1277. Llywelyn was killed & in 1284 he united Wales with England. Split Wales into 6 counties, encouraged English settlers to go there. In
law. 14. 100 year war - a series of separate wars lasting from 1337 to 1453 between two royal houses for the French throne, which was vacant with the extinction of the senior Capetian line of French kings. The two primary contenders were the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet, also known as the House of Anjou. The House of Valois claimed the title of King of France, while the Plantagenets from England claimed to be Kings of France and England. Plantagenet Kings were the 12th century rulers of the Kingdom of England, and had their roots in the French regions of Anjou and Normandy. The Hundred Years' War was, in many respects, a "civil war" as French soldiers fought on both sides, with Burgundy and Aquitaine providing notable support for the Plantagenet side. The conflict lasted 116 years but was punctuated by several periods of peace, before it finally ended in the expulsion of the Plantagenets from France (except the Pale of Calais). The war was eventually a
point at which William gained control of England. *The Norman Conquest The Norman conquest of England began with the invasion of William, Duke of Normandy and his victory at the Battle of Hastings. The Norman Conquest was an important event in English history. It replaced the native ruling class with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy and clerical hierarchy. This in turn brought about a transformation of the English language and the culture of England. As the rulers were from France, England linked more closely with continental Europe. It also paved the way for further Norman invasions in Wales and Ireland. *The House of Normandy (kings, centuries) William I Conqueror (11th century), William II Rufus, Henry I (12th century). To claim the English crown, William I invaded England leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces at the Battle of Hastings.
Estonia but also in the whole Northern Europe. Besides Russian and Italian artists, masters from Stockholm, Riga and Tallinn took part in its building work. The two-storied hall is decorated with rich stucco work and ceiling paintings. The vestibule and some other rooms in the main building, as well as some of the stoves have retained their 18th-century appearance. The park was named Kadriorg (Catherine's Valley) after the empress Catherine I. Most of the Russian rulers, from Peter's daughter Elizabeth, to the last Romanov emperor Nicholas II, have visited this imperial summer residence. From 1921 the Estonian Museum in Tallinn was situated in the palace. In 1928 it was reorganized into the Art Museum of Estonia. From 1929 the palace served as the residence of the Estonian head of state (from 1938 president). The building was renovated in 1933-34. The banqueting hall after the design of

In 820 the Bishop of Lyon and 2 others repudiated the belief that witches could make bad weather, fly in the night, and change their shape. This denial was accepted into Canon law until it was reversed in later centuries as the witch- hunt gained force. In 1307 the trial of the Knights Templar shows close parallels to accusations of witchcraft, maleficium, and sorcery and may have been the beginning of the great European witch- hunt. Other rulers such as King Coloman of Hungary declared that witch-hunts should cease because witches do not exist. The Crimes of the Witches Undoubtedly, over the centuries of witch hunting, the charge of ,,witchcraft" came to cover a multitude of sins ranging from political subversion and religious heresy to lewdness and blasphemy. But three central accusations emerge repeatedly in history of witchcraft throughout northern Europe:
Christianity reached Britain and Ireland well before it was accepted by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in 313. In the fourth century Christianity became firmly established across Britain, both in Roman-controlled areas and beyond. However, the Anglo-Saxons were pagan when they came to Britain. In the seventh century England became Christian very quickly 4. Many bishops and monks in England were from Europe. They were invited by English rulers who wished to benefit from closer church and economic contact with Europe. Anglo-Saxon England became well known in Europe for its exports of wool and woollen goods, cheese, metal goods, hunting dogs, etc. It imported wine, fish, pepper, jewellery. Notes 1. The Angles and the Saxons were the two most powerful of the Germanic tribes that invaded Britain. All the Angles moved to Britain and settled the north (East
jobs. All the tools can be classified as follows: a) measuring tools; b) cutting tools; c) marking tools; d) hand tools; e) hydraulic tools; f) electric tools; g) pneumatic tools. This chapter will describe measuring tools. Ruler is a long narrow flat piece of hard material with straight edges, marked with inches or millimeters, used for measuring things or for drawing straight lines. The rulers may be made of stainless steel, plastics or wood. Protractor is used for measuring or laying out angles. It is usually made of celluloid, so that lines can be seen through it, but it can be made of metal and other materials. A protractor is made semi-circular in shape so as to include 180º. Try Square/Squares are used to scribe, measure and check inside and outside angles, to construct lines at right angles to the edge of a piece of material, to establish points for lines parallel to the edge
Gavrila Golovkin, the State Chancellor, was the first to add "the Great, Father of His Country, Emperor of All the Russias" to Peter's traditional title Tsar following a speech by the archbishop of Pskov in 1721. Peter's imperial title was recognized by Augustus II of Poland, Frederick William I of Prussia, and Frederick I of Sweden, but not by the other European monarchs. In the minds of many, the word emperor connoted superiority or pre-eminence over kings. Several rulers feared that Peter would claim authority over them, just as the Holy Roman Emperor had claimed suzerainty over all Christian nations. In 1718 Peter investigated why the formerly Swedish province of Livonia was so orderly. He discovered that the Swedes spent as much administering Livonia (300 times smaller than his empire) as he spent on the entire Russian bureaucracy. He was forced to dismantle the province's government.

raised it as I experienced everything I wanted to tell about my hero. 2 The oratorio consists of 38 sections arranged into 5 scenes. The dramatic tension of the work is shown through the contrasting heavenly and mundane forces. The essential message of Jonah to the people is to lead a pious, pure life and to surrender oneself to God’s will. The composer was seized by the character of Jonah and saw him as a symbol of moral resistance of a minority to the rulers of Nineveh. And the prophet fulfils his mission. Example 6. Leitmotif of God. Example 7. Leitmotif of Jonah. In 1910 Tobias wrote: Ecclesiastical music exists and is a powerful agent that every serious musician must take into consideration, whether he wishes it or not. Mystical threads are invisibly connecting musical art and the religious world proceeding between superhuman and mysticism. The composers of today are lacking the organ of interest in transcendental matters, but in
leadership which would make us proud and show that we can stand stand on equal footing with the rest of the world, but rather to show the intellectual bankruptcy of the so called African elite. The elite, 25 rather than the majority of the crude African leadership, stand out as the single group which has damaged African most because of their quest for an easy life luxury. This is the group that took over the baton from the former colonial rulers. They took over the opulent life lived by the oppressors. Rather than eliminate the excesses of the Caucasian masters, the elite saw their takeover as an opportunity to double the pain of the masses of the people. Their claim to the throne vacated by the Caucasians was that they had gone to school, an education in which practical learning was not a requirement. The elite inherited the European’s position; he inherited his huge offices; he inherited his more than 10
flush levels of the mid-1950S. In 1963 came the Birmingham riots and, in staccato succession, scores of violent demonstrations, building toward the major upheavals of Watts, Newark, and Detroit. In keeping with a distinct historical pattern of revolution, blacks in the United States were more rebellious when their prolonged progress was somewhat cur- tailed than they were before it began. This pattern offers a valuable lesson for would-be rulers: When it comes to freedoms, it is more dangerous to have given for a while than never to have given at all. The problem for a government that seeks to improve the political and economic status of a traditionally oppressed group is that, in so doing, it establishes freedoms for the group where none existed before. Should these now established freedoms become less available, there will be an es- pecially hot variety of hell to pay.

Fairy-tale heroes eventually earn the aid of animals or magical creatures by being k i n d to them in the beginning, sharing food with them, or protecting them from harm. MENTOR AS INVENTOR S o m e t i m e s the M e n t o r functions as a scientist or inventor, whose gifts are his devices, designs, or inventions. T h e great inventor of classical myth is Daedalus, who designed the Labyrinth and other wonders for the rulers of Crete. As the master artisan of the T h e s e u s and the M i n o t a u r story, he had a hand in creating the monster M i n o t a u r and designed the Labyrinth as a cage for it. As a Mentor, Daedalus gave Ariadne the ball of thread that allowed Theseus to get in and out of the Labyrinth alive. Imprisoned in his own maze as punishment for helping Theseus, Daedalus also invented the famous wax-and-feather w i n g s that allowed h i m and his son Icarus to escape
wood around which a strip of papyrus or leather or parchment is wrapped close-packed. The secret message is written on the parchment down the length of the staff; the parchment is then unwound and sent on its way. The dis- connected letters make no sense unless the parchment is rewrapped around a baton of the same thickness as the first; then words leap from loop to loop, forming the message. Thucydides tells how it enciphered a message from the ephors, or rulers, of Sparta, ordering the too-ambitious Spartan prince and general Pausanius to follow the herald back home from where he was trying to ally himself with the Persians, or have war declared against him by the Spartans. He went. That was about 475 B.C. About a century later, according to Plutarch, another skytale message recalled another Spartan general, Lysander, to face charges of insubordination. Another Greek writer, Polybius, devised a system of signaling that has
