Summarized by: Student X Introduction • What is a weed? • Disadvantages and advantages • Seed bank • Different ways to deal with weeds • Resistance of herbicides What is a weed? • Older definitions: -a plant not valued for its use or beauty -a plant whose virtues have yet to be discovered • Modern definitions: -plants that are considered undesirable by producers -unwanted plant which in some way hinders or interfers with human activity. (Crops may at some point also be weeds) Weed disadvantages • Reduces crop yield – weeds and crops have to share resources such as light, water and nutrients • Reduces crop quality and health – increases moisture and disease levels • Delay harvesting – conservation of moisture may delay ripening Beneficial effects of weeds • Valuable indicators • Help against erosion • Many weeds are used as herbs for flavouring • Some weeds are used for their
The name of the Great Guild was introduced in the late 15th century. There were close ties between the guild and the town rules: only members of the Great Guild had the right to belong to the town council and could be elected for mayor. Tallinn's small coat of arms is also the Great Guild's coat of arms. Guild was led by Alderman, with the assistance of two advisers. Guild only accepted merchants, who had a house, wife and who was local. Great Guild activity ended in 1920, when Estonia abolished guilds. The Great Guild Hall The Great Guild Hall is one of the most outstanding buildings of medieval Tallinn. In 1406, it was purchased Burgomaster Gosschalk Schotelmund's house on Pikk street. In 1410, the construction was completed. Same year the Great Guild moved into the building. The facade was designed in a style characteristic of gothic Tallinn. The 16th century witnessed the addition of a gable tower with wind vane, as well as a light
grasslands have adapted to dry, windy conditions. There are grazing animals (that eat the grass), burrowing animals, and their predators; insects are abundant. A moderate of level species diversity exists on a grassland. 12. Name some temperate grassland animals. Rhea, saiga, Mongolian gerbil, Prairie dog, bison, coyote, 13. What cultivated plants are grown in temperate grassland? Perennial ryegrass and White Clover 14. How are gullies (gully – uhtorg) formed and how do they restrict human activity? (vt. õpik lk 62) A gully is a landform created by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside. Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys, but are metres to tens of metres in depth and width. When the gully formation is in process, the water flow rate can be substantial, which causes the significant deep cutting action into soil. 15. What environmental problems occur in temperate grassland?
apprehended. Complete chaos without hint of connection is never pleasurable. But these second thoughts point to an important qualification. The observer himself should play an active role in perceiving the world and have a creative part in developing his image. He should have the power to change that image to fit changing needs. An environment which is ordered in precise and final detail may inhibit new patterns of activity. Although this may not seem to be a critical issue in our present urban chaos, yet it indicates that what we seek is not a final but an open-ended order, capable of continuous further development. Legibility (loetavus) Consider visual quality of the American city by studying the mental image of that city held by its citizens. Concentrate on "legibility" the apparent clarity of the cityscape.
Instead a taxable money, some employers give staff advantages such as company cars, and free health insurance. Avoid tax on company profits? To register your companies head offices on tax haven. Tax evasion- illegal method to minimize your tax burden. Do not declaring your income, or reporting it inaccurately(ebatäpselt). Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained (hangitud) from serious crimes, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source.[1] It is a crime in many jurisdictions with varying definitions. It is a key operation of the underground economy. Loopholes in law- A loophole is a weakness or exception that allows a system, such as a law or security, to be circumvented(mööda hiilida) or otherwise avoided. Loopholes are searched for and used strategically in a variety of circumstances, including taxes, elections, politics, the criminal justice system, or in breaches of security.
Word processing versus handwriting Technology has definitely changed the way I write, in both quality and quantity. For me writing is more of a chore than an enjoyable activity. To be honest, I hate writing; essays, and assignments, even long e-mails sometimes bother me. When I sit down with my laptop to write an essay I look at the word processing screen and all I see is how much I haven't written and how much I have left to write. The task in front of me becomes more daunting and frustrating. I feel like when I write on the computer my words are chosen to simply fill a page. Handwriting provides an escape from the looming word counts and page numbers

system and to manage the public loan and expenditures. Types of Fiscal Policy The three possible types of fiscal policy: neutral, expansionary and contractionary. The definitions of these types are as follows: - A neutral stance of fiscal policy implies a balanced economy. This results in a large tax revenue. Government spending is fully funded by tax revenue and overall the budget outcome has a neutral effect on the level of economic activity. - An expansionary stance of fiscal policy involves government spending exceeding tax revenue. - A contractionary fiscal policy occurs when government spending is lower than tax revenue. There are two types of fiscal policy: discretionary and non-discretionary (automatic). The discretionary policy is the government (federal) changing spending (G), changing taxes (on households) T, or some combination of the two

Terve inimene nakatub HI- viirusesse ainult siis, kui HIV-positiivse inimese eelnevalt nimetatud kehavedelikud satuvad tema vereringesse.2 Kuidas ravida HI-viirust? AIDS-i ei saa täielikult välja ravida ja selle vastu ei ole ka vaktsiini.Selleks, et diagnoosida AIDS-i, peab olema lisaks AIDS-i tunnustele ka mingi nakkus, millesse terved inimesed ei haigestu. AIDS-i ravimiseks kasutatakse kombineeritud teraapiat, mida nimetatakse ka tri- teraapiaks või HAART-iks (High Activity Antiretrovirus Therapy = kõrgaktiivne antiviirusteraapia). Ravimeid peab võtma regulaarselt ja ühtegi korda ei tohiks vahele jätta, muidu ei toimi ravimid vastavalt.3 1 MTÜ Aids´ iennetuskeskus.

The bridge is dedicated to Emperor Alexander I, who signed the founding treaty for the tsarist university - the second official opening of Tartu University, and whose embossed relief decorates the bridge side facing Vallikraavi Street. Toome Hill Toome Hill was a gift of Tsar Paul I to the University till then the clearing was used mainly as a grazing area for townspeople's cows and goats. Toome Hill has been a centre of settlement activity throughout the centuries. The oldest trees in the park are now 200 years old. There are many sculptures and buildings of architectural value the former Toome Cathedral, now the History Museum of Tartu University, the Observatory, the Old Anatomical Theatre, State Court, and the Angel's and Devil's Bridges. On the Angel's bridge, the symbolic gate to Toome Hill, are inscribed the words 'otium reficit vires' (rest restores strength). Heritage and Historic Buildings

the gross domestic product (GDP). The monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, · GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory. Business cycles. · refers to economy-wide fluctuations in production or economic activity over several months or years. These fluctuations occur around a long-term growth trend, and typically involve shifts over time between periods of relatively rapid economic growth (expansion or boom), and periods of relative stagnation or decline (contraction or recession). · important phenomenon associated with cyclical fluctuations is unemployment, (people seeking work cannot find it, even when the economy is growing rapidly).
calamity at hand than that single point of scarcity. Most people will almost always seek other free sources of a benefit first. The price of things is usually affected by it’s value. Since many people assume that higher priced items are better, they value the lower priced items less. I know many people who assume that a freeware program is inferior to a similar commercial program just because it's free. From time to time, things actually have no value, if you think about it. It’s the activity you want to do with it. An good example is that people buy a drill bit. They actually don’t want that drill bit, but they want the hole the drill bit is sized at. In the end, price and value are two different things, but they depend on each other. Priced things might have value, or not. Valued things might have a high price, or not. They both are a deep meaning word, with a lot of explanations and meanings. From cultural to economics to spiritual

Probably her objective was to make people aware of our everyday lives that are lacking of exercises and to give them some solutions with what will accompany thinking outside the box and better life. To be more suitable for people with auditory modality she fed them numerous facts with numbers. For example: “nowadays people are sitting 9,3 hours per day which is more than we sleep at 7,7 hours per day” and lack of physical activity causes 10% of all the cancers. Her whole presentation was very informative and at the same time shocking. Although her use of words was excellent and I do not have anything negative to say about her presentation, I still think she should have had some pictures or maybe a crooked backbone with her on the stage because then people who have visual modality would have understood her better and it also would have emphasized the seriousness of the problem.

and environment. Depending on culture norms, in some societies gender roles are part of traditional values and have an impact on women’ ability to travel. As an example of this, women mostly in Arabic and Islam countries are expected to stay at home and raise children, while being dependent from their husbands or other male family members. Coming back to female adventure travel, travelling in these countries is not considered as an activity for women. For instance, in Saudi Arabia women 3 Anthropology of Tourism Madli Tuvike need permission for travel, education or even healthcare (Reuters, 2013). This makes women more constrained in their travel than men (Jackson & Henderson, 1995). On the contrary, in the USA it is estimated that 32 million single American women have travelled at least once in 2012

Initial causes of temperature changes Greenhouse gases The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in a planet's atmosphere warm its lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, discovered in 1860 by John Tyndall, was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, and was developed in the 1930s through 1960s by Guy Stewart Callendar. Solar activity Since 1978, output from the Sun has been precisely measured by satellites. These measurements indicate that the Sun's output has not increased since 1978, so the warming during the past 30 years cannot be attributed to an increase in solar energy reaching the Earth . The graphs show otherwise. Effects of global warming on oceans Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents,
immigrants for the United States. For example people born in China or Mexico would not qualify for this. What are the problems caused by illegal aliens in the States? Usually the first argument against illegal immigration is that the immigrants are here to take jobs away from the Americans but the truth is that immigrants are willing to work for very low wages and do jobs that the average American wouldn’t. A more convincing argument would be the rise in criminal activity caused by illegal immigrants. For example more than 60 percent of the Hispanic gangs in Southern California are made up of illegal immigrants. These gangs are involved with drug-distribution systems, murders and robberies. Another issue caused by illegal aliens is the cost for taxpayers. It has been estimated that the average immigrant without a high-school degree will cost the U.S taxpayer about $100,000. A major reason for
legislative initiative proposed a law draft prohibiting breeding, sale and import of pit bulls, Rottweilers, and close mixes of both. The parliament of Member State A ordered an additional scientific study, which largely confirmed the statistics. It also noticed, “Children are normally at greatest risk from dog bite because they play with dogs more often, have less experience in reading dog behavior, are more likely to engage in activity that alarms or stimulates a dog, and are less able to defend themselves when a dog becomes aggressive”. Scientific studies in dog psychology were not conclusive on direct causation between a dog breed and aggressiveness. They pointed out other influential factors such as individual character and disposition of an animal, resulted, among other things, from its training, living surroundings etc. In those circumstances and following the precautionary principle, the parliament adopted the

They were eating dinner when the neighbors stopped by for a visit. The Past Continuous The past continuous is used to talk about an activity that was in progress at a specific point of time in the past. The emphasis is on the duration of the activity in the past. I was studying for an exam while my mother was cooking dinner. We were walking in the park around 7 p.m. last night. On your handout, write one sentence that reflects PAST CONTINUOUS tense.

Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. Skateboarding can also be considered a recreational activity, an art form, a job, or a method of transportation.[1] Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2002 report found that there were 18.5 million skateboarders in the world. Skateboarding is relatively modern. Since the 1970s, skateparks have been constructed specifically for use by skateboarders, bikers and inline skaters History Skateboarding was first started in the 1950s, when all across California surfers got the idea of trying to surf the
The contrast may be stated or understood. I used to go swimming a lot (but I don’t now). The negative form is either: I didn't use to or I used not to (rare for some speakers) The form I didn’t used to may also be found. This is usually considered incorrect, unless we consider used to as an unchanging semi-modal form. There is no present time reference possible. Would This is used to describe repeated actions, not states. It describes a habitual activity which was typical of a person. Every week he'd buy his mother a bunch of flowers. Used to would also be possible here. Compare: I used to like cowboy films. Would is not possible here. Would is more common in written language and often occurs in reminiscences. Unfulfilled past events 1. These describe events intended to take place, but which did not happen. I was going to phone you, but I forgot. I was thinking of going to Italy this year, but I haven't decided.
However, more than half of all American adults consume more than 300 16 mg of caffeine every day, which makes it America's most popular drug. Caffeine is generally 17 consumed in coffee, cola, chocolate, and tea, although it is also available over-the-counter as a 18 stimulant. 19 Caffeine is believed to work by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain and other organs. This 20 reduces the ability of adenosine to bind to the receptors, which would slow down cellular 21 activity. The stimulated nerve cells release the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline), which 22 increases heart rate, blood pressure, and blood flow to muscles, decreases blood flow to the skin 23 and organs, and causes the liver to release glucose. Caffeine also increases levels of the 24 neurotransmitter dopamine. 25 Part of the reason caffeine is classified by the Food and Drug Administration as generally
The Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn is an exceptionally complete and well-preserved medieval northern European trading city on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The city developed as a significant centre of the Hanseatic League during the major period of activity of this great trading organization in the 13th-16th centuries. The combination of the upper town on the high limestone hill and the lower town at its foot with many church spires forms an expressive skyline that is visible from a great distance both from land and sea. The upper town (Toompea) with the castle and the cathedral has always been the administrative centre of the country, whereas the lower town preserves to a remarkable
similar atoms the decay rate, on average, is predictable. The SI unit of radioactive decay is the becquerel (Bq). One Bq is defined as one transformation (or decay) per second. Since any reasonably-sized sample of radioactive material contains many atoms, a Bq is a tiny measure of activity; amounts on the order of TBq (terabecquerel) or GBq (gigabecquerel) are commonly used. Another unit of radioactivity is the curie, Ci, which was originally defined as the activity of one gram of pure radium, isotope Ra-226. At present it is equal, by definition, to the activity of any radionuclide decaying with a disintegration rate of 3.7 × 1010 Bq. The use of Ci is presently discouraged by the SI. History of nuclear power The basic process of Nuclear Power is an exothermic chemical decomposition reaction that heats water to steam. This steam pushes the steam turbine that is connected to a generator that converts
day. Such popular activities are bicycling, jogging, swimming and even taking long walks. Rest and sleep help overcome fatigue and restore energy to the body. Everyone needs rest and health, but the amount required differs from each individual. Rest and relaxation are as important as sleep. After hard work or exercise, a person may need a period of total rest. At other times, only relaxation or a change of pace is necessary. Any activity that differs from the normal routine of work or study can be relaxing. Handling stress is essential for avoiding both mental and physical illness. Feelings of stress are the body's response to any threatening or unfamiliar situation. Stress can occur even in pleasant situations, such as watching a football game. If not handled properly, stress can lead to physical and emotional illness. No one can avoid stress, but a person can lessen the danger of becoming ill from it

Air pollution Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time. The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air. Air pollution has been a problem throughout history. Even in Ancient Romepeople complained about smoke put into the atmosphere. The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air...

only eight percent of girls. Among victims, however, both genders were equally affected. With girls, bullying often takes more subtle forms, such as whispering campaigns, spreading rumours and shunning--acts designed to destroy friendships. This can be every bit as painful as physical aggression. Many parents are unaware that it is happening because they never discuss it with their kids and because bullying is often a kind of underground activity that many children won't report. Most bullying takes place in and around school and is often reinforced by an audience. In one study, 120 hours of video surveillance in Toronto schools showed that in over 20 percent of bullying, peers actively reinforced bullying by physically or verbally joining in the aggression. In 54 percent of cases, they reinforced the bully by watching but not joining in. In only 25 percent of cases did peers support the victim. How common is bullying
