On November 9th, 1620, the `Mayflower' sighted what is now Cape Cod. Despite seeing land, the crew of the `Mayflower' searched for another month to find somewhere to land. Where they eventually landed was called New Plymouth. On December 25th, after finding a place where the `Mayflower' could be safely anchored, the Pilgrim Fathers began to build the first house for common use. By February 1621, 50% of the Pilgrim Fathers had died as a result of the cold weather and the inadequate housing that they had built for themselves. A Native American called Squanto helped those Pilgrim Fathers who survived the harsh winter. He showed them how to sow maize and how to cultivate the crop. Seeds brought from England were of little use in their new environment. By the summer of 1621, the Pilgrim Fathers had built houses for themselves and had gathered up a small harvest. They were well recovered in health and strength, and had all things in good plen...

Estonian teen How do you spend your free time? I'm pretty busy. Every day, I have music school, choir, or basketball training. I have been going to music school for seven years, and I'm going to graduate this spring. I have been going to basketball training for two years. I unfortunately can't go there very often because of music studies. When I'm home, I usually spend my free time on the computer or playing the guitar. What do you like / dislike about living in Võru? I can't tell anything which I particularly do not like. This year I don't like that the school has been moved to another building, which doubles the distance between my home and school. I like that Võru is such a small and quiet town, which makes it nice and secure to live in. Do you get any pocket money? I don't get any certain amount of pocket money. When I need to buy something or just want money, I ask my parents. Of course, I have mo...
Causes: *The main cause of animal extinction, without doubt,is human demand, either for animal resources directly, or for the natural resources of the animals' habitats. *In addition to that, there are other indirect causes caused by human activities. *Habitat loss: Is considered to be the main cause for animal extinction. Humans are clearing our forests for wood and timber. The foodchain is disturbed and animals will die. *Wildlife trade: Poaching and wildlife trade are another common threat to animals. International wildlife trade has also been linked to drugs trade. The most common anilmal trade is pet trade, such as orangutangs. Animals are also killed for fur(tigers, leopards, cheetahs) *Climate change: It has been recently suggested that warmer global temperatures may be affecting animals.

Tromboon Tromboon on vaskpuhkpill. Tromboonid põlvnevad samadest pillidest, millest trompetidki. Trombooni nimi pärineb Itaaliast, kus on selle nimi tromboone. Tromba tähendab trompetit ja lõpp "oon" suurt. Trombooni toru on umbes kolme meetri pikkune . Ehituse kõige iseloomulikum osa on U-taoline toru, mida nimetatakse kulissiks. Seda edasi-tagasi liigutades saab muuta pilli toru pikkust, millega koos ka helikõrgusi. Täiesti kinni lükatud kuliss annab trombooni põhihäälestuse, seda järjest avades kõlavad üha madalamad helid. Tromboon on isegi madalama ja võimsama häälega kui metsasarv. Kulissi eri asendeid nimetatakse positsioonideks. Tromboonil on seitse positsiooni, millega saavutatakse põhitooni madaldumist kolme tooni ulatuses. Kulissi sujuvalt liigutades muutub ka helikõrgus sujuvalt.

History of Football Forerunners of football The creation of football as we understand it today is geographically confined to British shores, but there is extensive evidence of ancient games with the same basic principles as the modern day incarnation. The first of these was identified as part of Shang Dynasty China in the 5th century BC, the game's objective being to kick a leather ball through a hole in a piece of cloth which between two 30 foot poles. The Tsu'Chu military exercise in 3rd century China was also an interesting elaboration on this theme; the premise once again being to kick a leather ball through a 30-40 centimetre opening. As the Tsu'Chu exercise lacked the central team element of today's football, attention has also been given to the Greek and Roman games of episkyros and Harpastum respectively. The latter is particularly interesting as a game played on a rectangular grass surface wi...

Mother Teresa Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu /agns gna bjadju/ (Albanian Gonxha for "rosebud") was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, now the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Although she was born on August 26, 1910, she considered August 27, 1910, the day she was baptized, to be her "true birthday." Although some sources state that she was 10 when her father died, in an interview with her brother, the Vatican documents her age at the time as "about eight". She was the youngest of the children of a family from Shkodër, Albania, born to Kolë and Dranafile Bojaxhiu (Albanian Dranafile for "rose", nicknamed "Drone"). Her father, Kolë Bojaxhiu was involved in Albanian politics. In 1919, after a political meeting, which left Skopje out of Albania, he fell ill and died when Agnes was about eight years old. After her father's death, her mother raised her as a Roman Catholic. According to a biography by Jo...

Boston Tea Party Henry Lemendik 8b About The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action protest by the American colonists against the British Government in which they destroyed many crates of tea belonging to the British East India Company and dumped it into the Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on December 16, 1773, was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution and remains an iconic event of American history. Background Europeans developed a taste for tea in the 17th century. When tea became popular in the British colonies in North America, Parliament sought to eliminate foreign competition by passing an act in 1721 that required colonists to import their tea only from Great Britain and the East India Company. Because Parliament heavily taxed this tea and charged the East India company tarrifs, ...

It has become an iconic symbol of London. Design · In the second half of the 19th century, increased commercial development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. · Subway Committee was formed in 1876, chaired by Sir Albert Joseph Altman, to find a solution to the river crossing problem. It opened the design of the crossing to public competition.

The central span of 200 feet (61 m) between the towers was split into two equal le...

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RAINFOREST The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of a primary rainforest are indescribable. It is impossible to capture on film, to describe in words, or to explain to those who have never had the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest. Rainforests have evolved over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and breathing renewable natural resources that for eons, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have contributed a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. However, the inner dynamics of a tropical rainforest is an intricate and fragile system. Everything is so i...
Temperate deciduous forests, woodlands and shrub Tartu 2008 Location: Temperate forests are typical of all European continent, the Eastern region of Asia (in special, Chinese and Japan) and North America. Also are finded in tempered areas of South America. Climate: The average temperature in temperate forests is 50° F.

Sir Isaac Newton Elulugu : Woolsthrope´i mõisa härrastemajas, sündis esimesel jõulupühal 25.detsembril 1642.a. erakordselt väike ja nõrga tervisega poisslaps - Isaac Newton. Tema sünd oli enneaegne - arvestuste järgi oleks Isaac pidanud sündima jaanauari keskpaigas 1643.a. Juuresolijad ei lootnud, et ta elama jääb. Inimesed, kes naaberkülla rohu järele saadeti, olid tagasi tulles väga imestunud, kui nägid, et laps veel elus on. On teada, et Newtoni ema oli pärit Overtonist Rutlandist, kuid tema esivanemate kohta on veel vähem andmeid, kui isa kohta.Newton ise arvas end põlvnevat Wesby´st Lincolni krahvkonnas.Newtoni vanemad kuulusid tolle aja ühiskonna keskklassi, keda võiksime võrrelda meie suurematetalupidajatega. Nende perekonna aastane sissetulek oli umbes 80 naela (1 nael = umbes 13 EEK), mis võimaldas Newtonitel üpris kenasti ära elada.Newtoni isa, kelle nimi oli samuti Isaac suri 36.aastaselt, paar kuud enne ...
