The Vikings came from three countries of Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Viking age in European history was about AD 700 to 1100. During this period many Vikings left Scandinavia and travelled to other countries, such as Britain and Ireland. Some went to fight and steal treasure. Others settled in new lands as farmers, craftsmen or traders. ships

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children There is a saying that „we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.“ Nowadays people don not think about it and are ruining the planet. There are researches which say that the human life on Earth will go extinct within a century. Eventually the Earth will become uninhabitable. People cannot change the past but their actions affect the future. One of the ways how people are affecting the lives of future generations is increasing pollution. Clean air and water are the most valuable resources, but they are getting more and more polluted. For example the air in China is so polluted that people need to wear masks. The pollution of water kills hundreds of thousands of water animals and birds. Some of the
Commons met in a church and now the Parliament looks like one. When the MPs address each other they don't say the names directly but they address them as "my right honourable friend from Winchester" etc. This was created to take off the heat of a debate. An MP's life The informality of the Commons may result from the fact that in history the members were supposed to be ordinary people just representing people. This way the MPs were not even paid until the 20th century. This way only rich people were able to afford being a member of the Parliament. Even now they don't get paid very much one MP has to share an office and a secretary with two other MPs. Most MPs are full-time politicians. But the old tradition where the MPs have other jobs reflects from the working hours of today. The Parliament doesn't sit in the morning. Work time is "gentlemen's hours" and they start their work later. They have a lot of holidays too. But it isn't as easy as it seems

Television is little more than a waste of time There is no doubt that the emergence of television is one of the most revolutionary events in the twentieth century. Almost everyone has a TV at home and watches it every day. Nowadays, people consider watching television as a sign of lazyness or boredom. I think that television has also some good sides and it is a little more than a waste of time. First of all, I think that TV is mainly a source of information. It allows people to get different kinds of information in an easy way. People can reach information in different languages and about different things just by clicking the remote control

In 1154 a town called Qlwn or Qalaven (possible derivations of Kalevan or Kolyvan) was put on the world map of the Almoravid by cartographer Muhammad al-Idrisi who described it as a small town like a large castle among the towns of Astlanda. It has been suggested that the Quwri in Astlanda may have denoted the predecessor town of today's Tallinn. The earliest name Kolyvan may be derived from the mythical Estonian hero Kalev. Up to the 13th century the Scandinavians and Henry of Livonia in his chronicle called the town Lindanisa: Lyndanisse in Danish, Lindanäs in Swedish, also mentioned as Ledenets in Old East Slavic. According to some theories the name derived from mythical Linda, the wife of Kalev and the mother of Kalevipoeg. who in an Estonian legend carried rocks to her husband's grave that formed the Toompea hill. It has been also suggested that in the context the meaning of linda in the archaic
Chartier vs White Roger Chartier analüüsib Hayden White'i raamatut "Metahistory. The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe" ning esitab White'le oma tekstiga mõned küsimused. White'i järgi näib ajaloolastel olevat voli oma äranägemist mööda vabalt valida, olgu siis teadlikult või mitte, ühe või teise tema poolt tuvastatud ajalookirjutusliku stiili vahel. Tropoloogilised prefiguratsioonid moodustavad nõnda võimalike vormide kogumi, mille seast ajaloolane saab vastavalt oma moraalsetele või ideoloogistele hoiakutele valiku teha. Chartieri esimene küsimus kerkib esile seoses valikuvabaduse toetava positsiooni ühitamisega strukturaallingvistikast laenatud keeleteooriaga. Siit Chartieri esimene küsimus White'ile: kas on võimalik ilma tõsise vasturääkivuseta ühendada Saussure'i-järgset lingvistikat ja ajaloolase kui loovkirjaniku vabadust.

That is to say ceasing of fighting in all of the Freek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. The Olympic Games were held, after the completion of four years during the month of July or August. The time between two competitions was called the Olympiad. In the beginning the games lasted for only one day and comprised only one event, the running of one Stadion, but gradually more events were added resulting, towards the 5th century B.C., in the games lasting for 5 days. In total the Olympic Games consisted of 10 events: running, the pentathlon (viievõistlus), jumping, discus, "ekebolon" javelin, wrestling, boxing, the pancration, chariot racing and horse racing. All Greeks who were not criminals had the right to take part in the games. Women were not allowed to compete, they could not even watch the competition. The athletes presented themselves 1 moth before the games began at Elis, the
All Greek cities had a gymnasium, a courtyard for jumping, running, and wrestling. As the Roman Empire ascended, the Greek gymnastics gave way to gymnastics whose purpose was military training. The Romans, for example, introduced the wooden horse. In 393 AD the Emperor Theodosius abolished the Olympic Games, which by then had become corrupt, and gymnastics along with other sports had been declined. For centuries, gymnastics was all but forgotten. Girolamo Mercuriale In the fifteenth century, Girolamo Mercuriale from Forlì (Italy) wrote De Arte Gymnastica, that brought together his study of the attitudes of the ancients toward diet, exercise and hygiene, and the use of natural methods for the cure of disease. De Arte Gymnastica also explained the principles of physical therapy and is considered the first book on sports medicine.

Today, it is the most deforested area in Europe. Twenty-six mammal species are native to Ireland, with some, such as the red fox, hedgehog and badger, being very common. Others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten are less so. In 1801, Ireland became a part of the United Kingdom. A war of independence in the early 20th century led to the partition of the island, creating the Irish Free State, which became increasingly sovereign over the following decades. Northern Ireland remained a part of the United Kingdom and saw much civil unrest from the late 1960s until the 1990s. This subsided following a political agreement in 1998. In 1973, both parts of Ireland joined the European Community. Irish culture has had a significant influence on culture world-wide, particularly

In Troms and Finnmark, we can see the Northern Lights every other clear night, if not even more frequently. From southern Norway, only a few times a month while in central Europe hardly more than a few times a year and they have even been seen from the Mediterranean but only a few times each century. To the north of the auroral zone, the Northern Lights are a common sight, although they don't appear as often as in northern Norway. What exactly are the Northern Lights? The Northern Lights occure when large numbers of electrically charged particles stream towards the Earth along its magnetic field and collide with the highest air particles. The air then lights up. The resulting colours reflect in gases we find up there, the most usual yellow-green colour is coming from oxygen

Burns suppers are most common in Scotland (and also in Russia, where nationally televised Burns nights are held in the Kremlin).
