The family who turned back the clock. When Malcolm Jones woke up last Monday, he heard the birds singing. Not remarkable, you might think, especially given that he lives near a forest. But birdsong in the Jones household is usually drowned by a tidal wave of electronic music crashing around the house as soon as his four children wake up. This is a family who have chosen to fill their home with every conceivable gadget. They have nine television sets, including one in each bedroom and in the kitchen. All the children have their own personal computers and CD players. Of course, there are all the usual appliances we all take for granted, such as the washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, deep freeze, microwave oven, and video recorder, but they also have an electric trouser press, two power showers, an Olympic-sized spa bath and jacuzzi, three cars, and a music system which plays throughout the whole house. ...
New Zealand has an exceptionally long coastline compared to the size of the country (over 15,000 km) which makes it almost the same size as the mainland USA's coastline. Even though New Zealand is only about the same size as Colorado, the large coastline is possible because it is extremely iregular and indented. New Zealand's coastline is packed with deep coves, bays, intricate harbours, long sounds, and steep fiords. Its territorial waters stretch from the sub-tropical through to the sub-antarctic. Both islands tend to have better swimming beaches on their eastern coasts and the further north you go. The west coasts of both islands are quite rugged with cliffs and more unsettled weather. There are however some suitable swimming and bathing beaches here, with iron (volcanic) sand beaches (black sand) being common on the North Island. The longest beach in New Zealand is the 90 mile beach, which is actually about 60 miles long. This beach...

Project ESTONIA MAP OF ESTONIA Southern Viljandimaa The southern part of Viljandi county catches the eye with its sublime scenery. The area today lies in the very heart of the historical Mulgimaa the home of hills, deep valleys and lakes brought together by a beauty spot Halliste primeval valley. According to several folk tales, it is also in these valleys, woods and bogs that Old Nick found refuge.The great variety displayed in the nature is also reflected in the local cultural heritage.

Village handicraftsmen and masters have always been honoured. Mulgikapsad (stewed sauerkraut with barley gro...
Chapter Fourteen Declaration Bella, Edward, and Alice are in the school cafeteria discussing their upcoming graduation party. Bella thinks the planned assault on the newborns makes a party inappropriate. Alice counters that they need time to get a few things in order before the battle, and commemorating Bella's first (and only human) high-school graduation is entirely appropriate. Edward informs Bella of Jasper's concern that they get help in their fight against the newborns. Jasper and Carlisle are trying to track down old friends to join the fight including Maria, but nobody wants to involve the southerners. Edward is convinced that someone will help them: no one wants a visit from the Volturi. Bella feels physically ill at the thought of the Cullens putting themselves in harm's way, and can't even consider the possibility that Edward might be hurt, or worse. Edward's confidence does nothing to quell the terror building inside he...

About Myself From the very start I should say that it is not an easy thing to speak about myself as it is hard to have a look at yourself from aside, but at the same time who knows you better than you yourself do? I am a girl of sixteen. When I look at myself in the mirror I see a blond girl with short straight hair, dark eyes and slander figure. As to my appearance I'm rather tall and slim. I have never thought I'm a beauty I whish I were more beautiful. I think that I'm even tempered, rather reserved, calm and modest. But sometimes I can lose my tempo and become either angry or sad. I like staying alone and sometimes I retire into my shell. But at the same time I like my friends, I like to laugh and joke. I have got a sense of humour. It means I understand humour and appreciate it. There are many things in our life I like and some I dislike. I like when everything is OK. Being happy is one way of b...

The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind. Two Chernobyl plant workers died on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation poisoning. The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine was the product of a flawed Soviet reactor design coupled with serious mistakes made by the plant operators. It was a direct consequence of Cold War isolation and the resulting lack of any safety culture. The accident destroyed the Chernobyl 4 reactor, killing 30 operators and firemen within three months and several further deaths later. Acute radiation syndrome was originally diagnosed in 237 people on-site and involved with the clean-up. Of these, 28 people ...
Sisters Creasha was sitting alone in her room. It was silence outside, yet she felt that something was wrong it was too quiet. Her older brother, Denis, had always said that too much silence was dangerous even for the hunter. That is what Denis was a bounty hunter. Creasha looked at the paleness of her sleeping twin sister Suzan and thought that it'll be six months soon as mom and dad left the country and their children to the Fate. Well, the reality wasn't so dramatic, since they were politics whom had to travel a lot. Creasha and Suzan weren't small any longer, 16 is almost as good as grown-up! But Denis never thought so; he still cared about his little sisters, as they were babies in his mind. A sudden voice broke the silence Creasha had almost fallen asleep in. Suzan opened her eyes as well and whispered," I've heard this sound before, it's dad's car." In a couple of minutes the tw...

Mäletan lapsepõlvest leninlikku seisukohta, mida saime kuulda raadiost: ’’Nõukogude inimene ei oota looduselt armuande,vaid võtame ise mis võtta annab.’’ Meenuvad ka minu õigeuskliku vanaema eitavad seisukohavõtud selle kohta. Jumalast kui Loojast ei tohtinud rääkida. Loodut tuleb vaadelda, kui tervikut. Me loeme 1. Moosese raamatust, et Jumal pdas loodut ’’heaks ’’ ja usaldas selle inimese hoole alla. 1. Moosese raamatu 1:26 esitatud ’’valitsemise’’ mõistet on sageli väärkasutatud ning liiga sageli on tähelepanuta jäetud asja olu, et Jumal kuulutab kogu loodu ’’heaks’’, siis ei peata silmas selle kasulikkust inimestele.

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...

Powerlifting Powerlifting is a strength sport, consisting of three events: Squat Bench press Deadlift Each competitor is allowed three attempts on each lift. The lifter's best valid attempt on each lift counts toward his competition total. Competitors are judged against other lifters of the same gender, weight class, and age. Powerlifting requires specialized training techniques that are focused on strength and explosive power. Traditional training methods dictated low repetitions with maximal weight.

Tundra Tundra is the world's youngest biome. It was formed 10 000 years ago. Located at latitudes 55° to 70° North. Almost all tundras are located in the Northern Hemisphere, encircling arctic desert and extending south to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The ecotone (ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-moulded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation. The most distinctive characteristic of tundra soil is its permafrost, a permanently frozen layer of ground. The average winter temperature is -28°C, but the average summe...
The Great Wave off Kanagawa The Great Wave off Kanagawa , also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by theJapanese artist Hokusai. An example of ukiyo-e art, it was published sometime between 1830 and 1833[1] (during the Edo Period) as the first in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji(Fugaku sanjrokkei (?)), and is his most famous work. This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wavethreatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture's title notes, more likely to be a large okinami literally "wave of the open sea." As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background. COPIES Copies of the print are in many Western collections, including the Metropolita...

LOODUSKAITSE MÕISTED Looduskaitsebioloogia (conservation biology) – teadusharu, mis uurib elurikkust ja seda ohustavaid tegureid ning on aluseks praktilisele looduskaitsetööle. Biofiilia (biophilia) – eelsoodumus armastada kõike elusat ja toetada elurikkust. Elurikkus ehk bioloogiline mitmekesisus (biodiversity) – kogu elusa looduse mitmekesisus. Kõigi elusorganismide mitmekesisus eri organisatsioonitasemetel: liigisiseselt (geneetiline mitmekesisus) ja liikidevaheliselt (liikide mitmekesisus), aga ka koosluste ja ökosüsteemide tasemel (koosluste mitmekesisus).

Cinema is the most restricitve medium The topic of this essay is cinema as the most restrictive medium. I would like to discuss the restrictions of cinema as such – what these are, how do they affect the medium. For example time limit of the films, budget, how it affects writer and director, what kind of choices they have to make, and how the audience come into play. Personally, i don’t consider cinema as a restrictive medium. Cinema’s most restrictive feature is time. Filmmakers must fit very good shots edited into very good storyline into one and a half to three hour movie, usually. The reason being, we get uncomfortable sitting long period of time. If the movies would be longer, we would lose interest and start doing something else. We would simply get uncomfortable sitting on a chair and the whole cinema experience would become agony. Furthermore, producing films can be expensive, especially longer films. Al...
TEKE Parkinsoni tõve põhjus pole teada, rolli selles mängivad mitmed tegurid, sealhulgas- Geenid. Teadlased on tuvastanud spetsiifilised geneetilised mutatsioonid, mis võivad põhjustada Parkinsoni tõbe. Kuid need on haruldased, välja arvatud harvadel juhtudel, kui paljudel pereliikmetel on Parkinsoni tõbi. Tundub, et teatud geeni variatsioonid suurendavad Parkinsoni tõve riski, kuid kõigi nende geneetiliste markerite puhul on Parkinsoni tõve risk suhteliselt väike. Keskkonna vallandajad. Teatud toksiinide või keskkonnateguritega kokkupuude võib suurendada hilisema Parkinsoni tõve riski, kuid risk on suhteliselt väike. . Teadlased on ka märkinud, et Parkinsoni tõvega inimeste ajus toimub palju muutusi, kuigi pole selge, miks need muutused esinevad. Nende muudatuste hulka kuuluvad: Lewy kehade olemasolu.

Billie Holiday elulugu Lapsepõlv Billie Holiday, sünnijärgselt Eleanora Fagan Gough, kaootiline elu algas Baltimores 7.aprillil, 1915. Laulja isa, Clarence Holiday, oli kuueteist aastane jazz-kitarrist ja bändzo mängija, kes hiljem kuulus Fletcher Hendersoni orkestrisse. Ta ei abiellunud kunagi lapse ema Sadie Faganiga ning jättis ta koos tütrega maha. Holiday ema oli samuti väga noor, kolmeteist aastane. Ema oskamatuse või hoolimatuse tõttu jäeti Billie tihti vanaema või sugulaste hoida. Paraku sugulased suhtusid temasse kui teenijasse. Billie saadeti kümneselt katolikku kooli1, sest tüdruk tunnistas üles, et teda on vägistatud. Kahe aasta pärast sai ta sealt välja tänu perekonna sõbrale. Olles kogenud mentaalseid kriise, kolis Billie koos oma emaga 1942. aastal New Jerseysse ja hiljem Brooklyni. Karjääri redel New Yorgis aitas Holiday oma ema majapidamistöödega, hiljem töötas lisa raha teenimiseks bordellis prostituudina. Selle...

Billie Holiday Üheks tuntuimaks dzässilauljaks on Billie Holiday, sünninimega Eleanora Fagan. Ta sündis 7. aprillil 1915. aastal. Täpsed andmed tema elu algusaastate kohta puuduvad, kuid on teada, et ta ema, Sarah Julia Harris, visati kodust välja, kui ta 13aastaselt rasedaks jäi ning ta kolis Philadelphiasse. Seal sündis Eleanora Fagan. Ilma vanemate toetuseta võttis Sarah ühendust oma poolõe Eva Milleriga, kes elas Baltimore's ning kelle ämmast sai järgnevaks kümneks aastaks Eleanora põhihooldaja. Tema ema tegi juhutöid ning reisis nende tõttu ringi, jättes oma tütre Eva Milleri ämma, Martha Milleri hoolde. Juba väga noores eas avastasid Martha Miller ning tema tütar, et Eleanoral on ,,suhtumisprobleeme," mille tekkimises süüdistati ema pidevat äraolekut. Kaheks aastaks abiellus Sarah ,,Sadie" Julia Harris Philip Goughiga ning nad elasid koos Eleanoraga õnnelikku pereelu. Peale koledat lahutusprotsessi jätkas Eleanora e...
Heartless It was one late evening when a little blond girl, aged between 7-8, ran quietly across the Ninth Avenue and entered one of the old houses that were lining the road. Inside she went smoothly though the corridors and soon reached a wooden door. After knocking twice a voice from inside called "Enter!" and the child went in. The room was filled with the smoke of numberless cigarettes. The girl, however, made no emotion and came closer to the old and ugly man sitting behind the table. "I wasn't lucky today, Grandpa," whispered the child and her light blue eyes filled with tears as she talked. The man smoked soundlessly, not even glancing at the girl. "But I'll go again, tomorrow, and bring you twice the money! I promise! So don't punish me, okay?" The man stood up and walked slowly towards the girl. "I promised your mother to take care of you, yet, if you are useless in even collecting money from...
Tallinna Tööstushariduskeskus Saturn Referaat Tallinn 2014 Sissejuhatus Saturn is one of the most interesting planets in the solar system. It is the sixth planet in the solar system, and is most famous for its stunning array of rings. It is a very easy planet to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the shy.

TOOMPEA Toompea (from German Domberg – Cathedral Hill ) is a limestone hill with an area of about 7 hectares in the central part of Tallinn. It towers about 30-40 m above the surrounding areas. According to the legend it´s the tumulus mound over the grave of the national hero Kalev, erected stone by stone in his memory by his grieving wife Linda. It is the birthplace of Tallinn - a place where in 1229 the Knights of the Sword built a fortress instead of the wooden Estonian stronghold. 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 pedestri...

Slumdog Milionaire Robi Kivi LGA18 Describe at least ONE idea that was worth learning about in the text. Explain why the idea was worth learning about in the text as a whole, using examples of visual and / or oral language features to support your ideas. In Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle "Love conquers all" is an idea worth learning about. Boyle uses cinematography, dialogue & gesture and flashbacks to show this. Love conquers all is an idea worth learning about because you may come across it in many texts, it's a universal idea and it's appealing to us as an audience. Love conquers all is the common theme in the texts, especially those which feature young love. Other texts such as the well-known play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, to the novel feed by M.T Anderson and even music such as Right by my Side by Nicki Minaj featuring Chris Brown all include this common them...
