Rowan Sebastian Atkinson is born 6 January 1955 and is an English actor, comedian, and screenwriter who is best known for his work on the sitcoms Mr. Bean and Blackadder. Atkinson (the youngest of four brothers) was born in Consett, County Durham, England. His parents were Eric Atkinson (a farmer and company director), and Ella May, who married on 29 June 1945. His three older brothers are Paul (who died as an infant), Rodney (a Eurosceptic economist who narrowly lost the United Kingdom Independence Party leadership election in 2000) and Rupert. He attended Newcastle University and Oxford University where he earned degrees in electrical engineering. (During that time, he met screenwriter Richard Curtis, with whom he wrote and performed comedy revues.) Later, he co-wrote and appeared in Not the Nine O'Clock News, which was a huge success and spawned several best-selling books. (He won the "British

As the economy was struggling many people lost their jobs which also caused a rise in crime and fall in living standards, the loss of permanent income also caused a fall in the use of services. 7) The main form of poverty figuring in the biritsh society is the lack of money, which causes the lack of vital resources and a permanent residence. The cause of poverty is mainly the lack of a job, which in turn is caused by disability, mental ilnness, economic recession or low intelligence. Sometimes lone parents also
In 26th of May 1927 Henry Ford, with his son, drove what was to be the last of 15 million Model Ts off the Highland Park assembly line. Sixty thousand Ford workers in Detroit were left without work for six months until the new Model A was unveiled in December 1927. His anarchic management structure- such as it existed- and lack of experience in developing new model threw the company into chaos. Resolving that chaos cost a fortune, perhaps as much as $250 million in terms of lost sales as well as setting up the costs for new model. Ford was a great engineer and an even better enterpreuner, but he was not a great manager of organisational change. Conclusion Ford was unique, neither a professional engineer nor a scientist but more a 'mechanically minded inventor'. He made profit out of nothing but just with one crazy idea. He loved the risks and it justified itself. He knew exactly when to make a big turn and this was what made him as we know Henry Ford today.
bastion was made into the second floor. The four upper floors were reconstructed to suit the guns on wheel carriages. Most of the steps in the embrasure floors were levelled and the embrasure mouths were funnelled. Above the embrasure chambers vents for siphoning gunpowder smoke out were built. The last floor got a new outer wall to support a new ceiling roof that was 2 m thick at its thinnest and 4 m thick at the top of the vault. While the armaments developed, the defence wall around the town lost its significance. In 1760 the tower was taken over by the state and was used as a storage, apartments, archive rooms. At the beginning of the 20th century the first Estonian heavy athletes used some of the rooms as training quarters. To get rid of all sorts of small buildings erected around the tower, some reconstruction took place in 1958 and on 20 July the same year a branch museum of Tallinn City Museum was opened here. The extensive reconstruction in 1966-1968 aimed at finding a

Burghs, but although he received a respectable vote he was not elected. Arthur Conan Doyle statue in Crowborough. Conan Doyle was involved in the campaign for the reform of the Congo Free State, led by the journalist E. D. Morel and the diplomat Roger Casement. He wrote The Crime of the Congo in 1909, a long pamphlet in which he denounced the horrors in that country. He became acquainted with Morel and Casement, taking inspiration from them for two of the main characters in the novel, The Lost World (1912). He broke with both when Morel became one of the leaders of the pacifist movement during the First World War, and when Casement committed treason against the UK during the Easter Rising out of conviction for his Irish nationalist views. Conan Doyle tried, unsuccessfully, to save Casement from the death penalty, arguing that he had been driven mad and was not responsible for his actions. Conan Doyle was also a fervent advocate of justice, and personally investigated two

Queensberry stormed into Wilde's club, The Albemarle, and finding him absent left a card with the porter, addressed "To Oscar Wilde posing Somdomite". Bosie, who hated his father, persuaded Oscar to sue the Marquess for libel. As homosexuality was itself illegal, Queensberry was able to destroy Oscar's case at the trial by calling as witnesses rent boys who would describe Wilde's sexual encounters in open court. Oscar lost the libel case against Queensberry and was arrested by the crown. With essentially no credible defence against charges of homosexual conduct, he was convicted and sentenced to two years hard labour, the latter part in Reading Gaol. Unreformed Dickensian prison conditions caused a calamitous series of illnesses and brought him to death's door. Constance fled the country with their children and changed the family name, always
Truancy in school individual responsibility Hello ladies and gentlemen, today I am here to talk to you about truancy in school and why is it an individual responsibility. Truancy in school is a very serious problem nowadays. Unfortunately many students have lost their motivation to study. According to the BBC 400,000 children were persistently absent from England's schools in the past year and missed about one month of school each. The effect that poor attendance at school can have on a child's education can be permanent and damaging but skipping should be child's own responsibility and it is not right to punish the parents for it. Students have many reasons why they are skipping school, mostly they do not like the
where there is no time expression to make this clear. By the time I got to the station, the train had left. Compare this with: The train left five minutes before I got to the station. In this example, the sequence of events is made clear by before. The Past Perfect is not used simply to describe an event in the distant past. There must be another past event, less far away in the past, with which it contrasts. When the company went bankrupt, it had lost over a million pounds. The Past Perfect is used to make clear that one action in the past happened before another action in the past. When we arrived home, Anna had gone to bed. George didn’t want to come to the cinema with us because he had already seen the film twice. It was my first time in an airplane. I was very nervous because I hadn’t flown before. 2 Past Perfect Continuous (Progressive)

burned down. St. Paul's Cathedral, 13 200 houses and 87 churches were destroyed by the fire. There were hardly any deaths. Six verified deaths were recorded, but there might have been more: the heat of the fire may have cremated victims and deaths of poor or middle-class people were not recorded anywhere. Evacuation from London and resettlement elsewhere was necessary. The fire burned down the homes of 70 000 people, when London had a population of 80 000 humans, so almost everyone lost their home. The fire was also good in some ways. It wiped out the last traces of the plague, which had been very dangerous in the year 1665. After the fire, people started building houses out of bricks and stones, they made the streets of London wider and houses weren't so close together.

catch a cold sometimes. Nothing can prevent accidents to happen. The people who are ill or some kind of an accident has happened to them need help. Medicine is the science and art of healing. It is a science because it is based on knowledge gained through careful study and experimentation. Medicine develops very quickly. Nowadays the doctors can do almost anything they want. Egyptian doctors began to specialize in 2500 B.C. At that time they were already quite skilful. When a man lost a limb there was a big possibility that he would lose too much blood and die or get a blood poisoning before that time. Now the doctors can help people who have been in very serious car accidents for example. They can even replace blood with blood substitutes for a short time until they find the right blood type for the patient for the blood transfusion. This can save many lives. There are very many different pills that help with smaller problems like a headache or a bad tooth.
The Garden Party Katherine Mansfield Character Analysis: Laura The character that won my favor is Laura, the protagonist of the story, who comes across as a fragile and insecure young woman. All at once she starts to perceive her role in this complex world. Moreover, she begins to wonder over the values and delusions, which are of great importance in life. Throughout the story it stands to reason that she is trying to establish her true self, even though she is steadily influenced by her family, especially by her mother. On account of her constant questionings she finally evolves into an individual, who is capable of distinguishing essential truths of life from unimportant ones, however she still remains to be uncertain, which may indicate that her discoveries are not all-encompassing in nature and may fade away from the memory.

park's northern mountains where year-round prey is available. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with animals such as the gray wolf, black bear, and the grizzly bear. It is a reclusive cat and usually avoids people. Attacks on humans remain rare, despite a recent increase in frequency. Most attacks are in states where hunting is not allowed, and they have lost their fear of humans. In these areas the cougars are often times over populated and have decimated their primary food source, deer.

For them, Tsar Alexander II's reforms were very anticipated and progressive. However, the `sons' or younger intellectuals saw these reforms were not fast or far-reaching enough. Thus, the generation of fathers is seen in the prevailing gentry, `', who ruled over the serfs and lands. Turgenev himself states, that « . , , . , . , : , ? -- , ». (Pisma IV, 380). Accordingly, Sukikh (1971:312) agrees that the progressive thinkers of the forties had lost their edge. This evaluation by the author himself sets a tone through which the connotation of the portrayal of the `generation of fathers' in Fathers and Sons can be assessed. By taking the title in the broader sense as indicating a generational, rather than a parental and filial relationship, the "generation of fathers" is represented by Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov, Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov and Yevgeny Vassilievich Bazarov.

They also fight for human rights and try to accomplish the prosperity in the world. From the free trade point of view they also support that because it gives them a better conditions to move and sell their products all over the world. Although Coca-Cola says all that on their page I am a little skeptical about their point of view. There are a lot of scandals around Coca-Cola Company, for example the Kerala scandal in India where they drained many of the farmers water sources and therefore they lost their ability to use water for their personal use and for their crop. Another problem was their marketing scheme where they paid Warner Brothers 150$ million to promote their unhealthy products among young children with the Harry Potter movie. There are many more scandals related to Coca-Cola company and that comes to show us how they manipulate their consumers with their positive point of view to the world and to it's wonderful prosperity
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. On November 28, two divisions of the Red Army (altogether 12,000 troops) crossed the Estonian border

Tallinn of today offers modern hotels, restaurants, sport and cultural centres. The town is also a well-known sailing centre. The yachting regatta of the 1980 Moscow Olympic games was held at Pirita. At various times in history, the city has been given different names. In 1219 Henricus de Lettis wrote about the Lyndanise stronghold of the Rävala people. On 13 June that year King Waldemar II of Denmark came to conquer north Estonia. The Estonians lost the battle and the Danse renamed the town Reval, as it was the centre of the ancient Estonian province of Rävala. The Estonian, however, rejected the name and began to call the city Taani linn, the Estonian for Danish castle. Tallinn's economy started to boom in the 19th century with the emergence of machine- building, woodworking and textile industries. A railroad was built in 1870, linking the city to St. Petersburg. From that time Estonia maintained close ties with Russia.
reburying it. Huck begins to shadow Injun Joe every night, watching for an opportunity to nab the gold. Meanwhile, Tom goes on a picnic to McDougal’s Cave with Becky and their classmates. That same night, Huck sees Injun Joe and his partner making off with a box. He follows and overhears their plans to attack the Widow Douglas, a kind resident of St. Petersburg. By running to fetch help, Huck forestalls the violence and becomes an anonymous hero. Tom and Becky get lost in the cave, and their absence is not discovered until the following morning. The men of the town begin to search for them, but to no avail. Tom and Becky run out of food and candles and begin to weaken. The horror of the situation increases when Tom, looking for a way out of the cave, happens upon Injun Joe, who is using the cave as a hideout. Eventually, just as the searchers are giving up, Tom finds a way out. The town celebrates, and Becky’s father, Judge Thatcher, locks up the cave

Tahi Wi and his two brothers never returned. Taha Aki went to the chief of the Makahs in mourning, and enmity between the tribes ceased. A year later, the disappearances started again. The wolves agreed to help the Makahs, and this time they found a male cold one feeding from a maiden. Only one wolf survived the attack, Yaha Uta, the oldest son of Taha Aki's third wife. The cold one was hard as stone, fast, and deadly, and Yaha Uta lost his two brothers in the fight. He brought the Cold One's corpse back to the village for the elders to see. The corpse tried to reassemble itself, so they set fire to it and separated the ashes into small bags, one of which Billy still possesses. The Cold One's mate came to the village seeking revenge and killed the last wolf protector, Yaha Uta, as well as many of the tribe. Taha Aki turned into a wolf again in order to fight her, but he was old and she was too strong.
both the characters and the narrator continually look before and after and this can sometimes seem difficult to the reader to make clear what in the narrative present is actually happening. For example, after his defeat of Grendel, young receives from grateful Danish host the gift of a rich collar. Instead of describing what the collar looked like, the poet first compares it to a collar in ancient legend, and then, looking forward, says that it was later carried by lord and lost by him on his disastrous raid against the Franks. In the poem it is considered very essential to bear in mind both past and future, it is wisdom. But true understandings, and especially a correct anticipation of future events, are things not easy to achieve in an uncertain world. For example, as a young man of little experience determines to give the unarmed Grendel a sporting chance by himself using no weapons (which proved to be a

Having the ability to sway others around him, and was promoted quickly through the ranks. By the time of the first battle of Galveston, he was made the youngest major in Texas at the age of 20. His orders were to convey the women and children from Galveston to Houston to avoid Union mortar boats. After transporting the first group, he set out on his return journey to Galveston. It was then he met up with three vampire women: Maria, Nettie, and Lucy, all survivors of recently lost battles. Incapacitated by their beauty and his own sense of propriety, he was unable to run from them. Maria, a petite brunette and their leader, sensed that Jasper was special and turned him rather than kill him. Maria wanted to reclaim her territory, and built a newborn army, putting Jasper in charge of the others. His ability to control the emotions of those around him enabled him to build a large, lethal group of newborns that could work together. They were very successful
Although most of the immigrants came from England, many people also came from Scotland with earlier British settlers and took along their own cultural elements. People say that in New Zealand there are more bagpipe ensembles than in Scotland. Thanks to permanent immigration from England and the fact that many young new-zealanders spend time in England for getting "over-sea experiences", the cultural connection between New Zealand and England won't get lost. Also the traditional English language stays preserved. Every year local people organize the Pacific Islands-themed festival Pasifika. It's held in Western Springs (a park in the west of the city), Auckland. Conclusion In conclusin I might say that New Zealand seems to be a paradise for me. The cities are modern, but people have taken care of nature too. I really would like to go there someday, because I'm a huge fan of green nature. Too bad is the fact that
Tallinn of today offers modern hotels, restaurants, sport and cultural centres. The town is also a well-known sailing centre. The yachting regatta of the 1980 Moscow Olympic games was held at Pirita. At various times in history, the city has been given different names. In 1219 Henricus de Lettis wrote about the Lyndanise stronghold of the Rävala people. On 13 June that year King Waldemar II of Denmark came to conquer north Estonia. The Estonians lost the battle and the Danse renamed the town Reval, as it was the centre of the ancient Estonian province of Rävala. The Estonian, however, rejected the name and began to call the city Taani linn, the Estonian for Danish castle. Tallinn’s economy started to boom in the 19 th century with the emergence of machine-building, woodworking and textile industries. A railroad was built in 1870, linking the city to St. Petersburg. From that time Estonia maintained close ties with Russia.

Sotsiaaleetilised probleemid tänases Eestis Sotsiaaleetika hõlmab enda alla väga laia teemavaldkonda ning sellepärast leiab ka palju eetilisi aspekte, mida uurida, analüüsida. Sotsiaaleetiliste probleemide paljususe seast toon välja mõned, ka ennast kõnetavad teemad, mis vajaks Eestis ja kindlasti ka mujal maailmas lahendamist. Küsitavaks on muutunud individuaalsel- ja ühiskonnatasandil hädas olevate inimeste aitamine. Miks on üksteise aitamist vähe? Kuidas panna inimesi rohkem aitama? Või parem küsimus oleks, et kuidas tekitada rohkem inimesi, kes aitaksid abivajajaid? “Ma ei pannud tähele.” Kõige üldisema põhjendusena, et miks ei aidata, võib olla mittemärkamine. Kui ei näe enda ümber toimuvat, siis ei tekigi mõtteid aitamisest. Esimene samm abistamiseks on vaja kõigepealt hädasolijat märgata. Tuleb tõsta enda pea nutitelefonist või silme eest kaugemale ja näha ümbritsevaid probleeme ja püüda neid lahend...
Jamaica prospered from the wealth brought by buccaneers, notably Sir Henry Morgan, to Port Royal, the capital; in 1692, however, much of the city sank into the sea during an earthquake, and Spanish Town became the new capital. A huge, mostly African, slave population grew up around the sugarcane plantations in the 18th cent., when Jamaica was a leading world sugar producer. Freed and escaped slaves, sometimes aided by the maroons (slaves who had escaped to remote areas after Spain lost 3 control of Jamaica), succeeded in organizing frequent uprisings against the European landowners. The sugar industry declined in the 19th cent., partly because of the abolition of slavery in 1833 (effective 1838) and partly because of the elimination in 1846 of the imperial preference tariff for colonial products entering the British market. Economic hardship was
white settlement and to slavery. Reservations After being forced off their native lands, many American Indians found life to be most difficult. Beginning in the first half of the 19th century, federal policy dictated that certain tribes be confined to fixed land plots to continue their traditional ways of life. Besides the moral issue of depriving a people of life on their historic land, many economic issues plagued the reservation. Nomadic tribes lost their entire means of subsistence by being constricted to a defined area. Farmers found themselves with land unsuitable for agriculture. Many lacked the know-how to implement complex irrigation systems. Hostile tribes were often forced into the same proximity. The results were disastrous.
