Don Garcia Lopez de Cardenas saw the Colorado River from the rim of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon while looking for a route that would connect them with Alarcón's fleet. The Legend of the Seven Cities The Legend of the Seven Cities of Gold dates back to the eighth century, when the Moors of Africa conquered Spain for Islam. The archbishop of Porto in Portugual was believed to have set sail with six other bishops and a group of colonists and their cattle and supplies. The Christians reached land, so the story goes, burned their ships so that no one would be tempted to return to Spain, and each bishop built a fabulously rich city. Spanish cartographers had traditionally placed these cities on an island somewhere in the Atlantic, but as more and more islands were explored and no cities turned up, they began to position them at various places on the huge land mass representing the New World-- often in North America
inadequate beause of the time they had to devote to the administrstion of their dioceses. The result was that many Christians heard the Word of God rarely if at all . Dominic envisioned the creation of a body of trained theologians who would scatter throughout Europe and proclaim the gospel in the most remote areas. The nordic countries appear very early on the Dominic anagenda. To reach Tallinn the friars followed the trade route along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, and reached Estonia some 750 years ago. The monastery in Tallinn was certainly in existence by1246.Constructed in the gothic style, it exhibits a number of Interesting architectural features,and contains the largest collection of carved stones in Estonia. The site of the monastery in the Old City was carefully chosen in order to facilitate both the ministry of the friars and their business interests.They traded in fish in order to

This time nearly 300,000 people came together, more than a quarter of all Estonians. On August 23, 1989, 50 years later the three nations living by the Baltic Sea got back on their feet and, to the surprise of the entire world, took hold of each other's hands. The 600 km human chain reached from the foot of Toompea to the foot of the Gediminas Tower, crossing River Daugava on its way. 6 Modern Tallinn (1991-2000) Tallinn became the capital of a independent country once again on August 20, 1991. Thousands of esonians had protected Tallinn's TV tower and Toompea. New contitutional law in 28.05.1992 was accepted by people
Topic The United States of America The U.S.A. is situated in the central part of the North American continent. The area of the U.S.A. is over nine million square kilometres. Its western coast is washed by Pacific Ocean and its eastern coast by the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The continental United States is bounded to the North by Canada and to the South by Mexico. There are two mountain ranges in the continental United States: the Appalachians in the east and the Rockies in the west. In the very middle of the continent is the Mississippi river. The five Great lakes, between the U.S.A. and Canada, are joined together by short rivers or canals. They are connected with the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River, and with the Hudson River by a canal. In the west of the U.S.A. there is another big lake called the Great Salt Lake.

History First people who lived in Canada came by a land bridge from Russia and Greenland. They were the ancestors of nowadays indigenous people of Canada. They just searched better for living places and followed their prey and they didn't even know they were on a different continent. The first explorers were Norse seafarers known as Vikings. As they sailed from Iceland to Greenland in AD 985, they were blown far off their course and they saw the coast what must have been Labrador. The forested areas of Canada's coast encouraged further explorations, because their settlement lacked lumber. They established a colony, what they called Vinland on Newfoundland. It died out during the 14th and 15th centuries. 500 years later Europeans started looking for a waterway to Asia, because travelling with spices over land wasn't very safe anymore. The first explorer was Christopher Kolumbus who reached America's shore in 1492, although he thought it ...

name. What in fackt happend. The church was named as its builder. And the sculpture of the snake and frog, which came out from Olaf'f mouth, are there nowadays. According to legend, there were some difficulties to find a right place where to build 4 Tallinn. It was decided to ask for advice from the wiseman. The wiseman told to put a stone on to the horsecart and wathe where the stone falls , it is the right place to build the city. Having reached up with a flat place, the rock rolled to the center of the hill and there was the city built. Tallinn is named by a roe-deer, who died here. King Valdemar loved the deer so much, he let to capture it alive. When roe-deer saw that he was restrained, so he started to run randomly and then he fell, because of fear and weariness, down of the seashore and broke its neck. Tallinns German name Reval is deriverd from the word Reh Fall (roe-deer falling).
high seas). High seas resources such as tuna or marine mammals require international collaboration for their management. There is no comprehensive global database on fish stocks and FAO has initiated a global inventory of fish stocks with their main characteristics. Their monitoring and the assessment of their state within an ecosystem perspective need significant improvement. During Soviet period (1944-1991) fish farming developed rapidly since the end of 60- s and reached its peak in 1990 with 1743 tons of fish for consumption, which consisted mainly of common carp (917 t) and large rainbow trout (734t). Estonia is a northern country where the vegetation period is short (3-4 months) and thus the water temperature is a limiting factor of fish farming. Therefore the heated effluent waters of the electric power plants were successfully used to prolong the growth period. Collapse of the socialist system caused

First reading formal announcement without any debate. 2nd reading The house debates about it on general principles and takes a vote. Committee stage A committee of MPs examines the details and votes on changes to parts of it. Report stage The House consideres the changes. 3rd reading The amended bill is debated as a whole. After that the bill is sent to the House of Lords where it goes through the same process. After both Houses have reached agreement the bill receives the royal assent and becomes an Act of Parliament and a new law. The House of Lords Members are not elected. They used to have more power but like the power of the monarch it has reduced significantly. No bill can't become a law unless the HoL accepts it but after six months it will become a law anyway. Usually the member own an aristocratic title or they are retired from the House of Commons. Usually parties are very keen to send their older
That is why I chose the Great Plague as the topic of my research. The purpose of my study is to educate myself and gain more knowledge on the history and find out how people lived in England in the seventeenth century. For a start, I will give a short review what the bubonic plague is. Then I tell about Black Death in England before the Great Plague, city life before and during the plague. Secondly, I will examine how the plague reached Great Britain. After that I will describe how people dealt with the plague and what the government decided to do with the corpses. Subsequently I will write about plague doctors, what they wore as a protection against the plague, how people invented different techniques to fight the plague and what the City Corporation did with cats and dogs. Finally, I will share the wisdom what I acquired on the fading point of the plague and how
Geoffrey somehow found out about the affair. When World War II broke out in 1939, the members of the exploration team decided to pack up base camp, and Geoffrey offered to pick up Almásy in his plane. However, Geoffrey Clifton arrived with Katharine and tried to kill all three of them by crashing the plane. Geoffrey Clifton died immediately. Katharine survived, but was horribly injured. Almásy took her to "the cave of swimmers" and left to find help. After four days, he reached a town, but the British were suspicious of him because he had a foreign surname. They locked him up as a spy. When Almasy escaped it was too late to save Katharine. He helped Germans and after three years he went back to desert and found Katharine. He put her to the plane and started flying. That is the part, how the story started. Plane made the crash and Almasy got burnt. · In my opinion this book was worth of reading, though firsty it seemned rather confusing,
His curiosity gets the better of him; he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'" "But why?" asks the man. "I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies. A Mommy Moment Four-year-old Mitch loved candy almost as much as his mom Ann did. He and Daddy had given her a beautiful heart-shaped box of chocolates for Valentine's Day. A few days later Mitch was eyeing it, wishing to have a piece of it. As he reached out to touch one of the big pieces, Ann said to him, "If you touch it, then you have to eat it. Do you understand?" "Oh, yes," he said, nodding his head. Suddenly his little hand patted the tops of all the pieces of candy. "Now I can eat them all." Wherever I May Go You're in my thoughts and in my heart Wherever I may go; On Valentine's Day I'd like to say
Introduction I chose the topic legends of Tallinn. I chose this topic because there are many places in Tallinn, what is set by legends, but I do not know this places legends. In making this essay i hope to refresh my memory and to find new and interesting facts about my hometown. Tallinn is well known for its medieval city. It is not only old houses and streets that have survived, but also legends connect to them that have reached us. Tallinn was first mentioned in the historical books of the Arabic geographer. If the primeval city walls could talk, they would tell us stories better than any adventure book. The walls have seen it all: the black pestilence, the great fire of Tallinn and brave warriors. Many big and powerful countries have conquer Estonia, but Estonia has always fought for their freedom. Many legends are related to those countries who have conquered Estonia. For example, Danish, Russia and Germany.
Its symbolic importance was demonstrated in 1940 when the Nazi SS developed secret plans to transfer Nelson's Column to Berlin following an expected German invasion, as related by Norman Longmate in If Britain Had Fallen (1972). Features Fourth plinth The fourth plinth on the northwest corner, designed by Sir Charles Barry and built in 1841,[6] was intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, but remained empty due to insufficient funds.[7] Later, agreement could not be reached over which monarch or military hero to place there. Companies have used the plinth (often without permission) as a platform for publicity stunts, including a model of David Beckham by Madame Tussauds during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. [ A committee convened to consider the RSA's late-1990s project concluded that it had been a success and "unanimously recommended that the plinth should continue to be used for an ongoing series of temporary works of art commissioned from leading national and

Agricultural main raw materials are grain and legume. According to Statistics Estonia, the unemployment rate in was 5.2% and the employment rate was 67.2% in the 3rd quarter of 2015. The employment and unemployment figures of the 3rd quarter resemble those of the economic boom. In the 3rd quarter of 2015, compared the same quarter of the previous year, the unemployment rate decreased by 2.3 percentage points, which meant that the estimated number of unemployed persons reached 36 500 and the unemployment rate decreased to 5.2%. These figures resemble more and more the figures of the economic boom of 2006–2007 when the unemployment rate was 4–5% and the number of unemployed persons was less than 40 000. The biggest unemployment is in the age group of 15-24 and the unemployment is higher among men than women. ERLE MAIDO
Hard rock Karl-Richard Sänna Form 9B Hard rock (or heavy rock) A loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock Typified by a heavy use of distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards Developed into a major form of popular music in the 1970s and reached a commercial peak in the mid to late 1980s Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses Definitions A form of loud, aggressive rock music Has sometimes been labelled cock rock for its emphasis on overt masculinity and sexuality and because it has historically been predominately performed and consumed by men: in the case of its audience, particularly white, working-class adolescents In the late 1960s the term heavy metal was used interchangeably wit...
Third paragraph will point out the problems in adventure tourism. The forth paragraph will give recommendations for the future and some of the possible future problems in female adventure tourism will be looked at. The last paragraph will be a summary of the key findings and recommendations. Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries (Tisdell, 2000, Swarbrooke et al. 2003, Buckley, 2003). According to UNWTO, international tourist arrivals have reached 1,087 million in 2013. Nash (1995) noted that any human subject of such magnitude should be analysed by anthropological studies, rather than economical. Anthropology is human studies – that investigates the past, the present and the future, culture differences and similarities. Haviland, (1999). Nash (1996) also describes that tourism, including adventure tourism, is a part of socio- cultural anthropology studies. These studies are using the term of culture to refer to various
It has seen the deaths of two monarchs; suffered its share of wartime tragedy; and been the venue for the first ever Christmas Broadcast. The story began in 1862. Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, was looking for a country home for his eldest son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, before his twentieth birthday. The idea was to find a healthy retreat for his young son, away from the distractions of the city. Before a decision had been reached, the Prince Consort died suddenly of typhoid in December 1861. It was left up to his eldest son to conclude the house-hunt. After paying a visit to Sandringham on 3 February 1862, the Prince of Wales was impressed enough to have decided by the end of the day that he wanted to buy the house. For the house and furnishings, the Prince paid £220,000. Sandringham's first role was as a home for newly-weds. Prince Albert Edward married
The library was established in 1918 by the Provisional Government of the Estonian Republic. The first users of the library were the members of Parliament. During the Soviet occupation the library became a regular public library. The work of the library changed radically: all links with foreign libraries were called off and Russian publications dominated. In the '50s the library was renamed after Kreutzwald and its collection had reached a million items. The restoration of the Republic of Estonia changed the role of the library, for it was renamed the National Library of Estonia. Today its aim is to collect and permanently preserve documents published in Estonia. 6. Children and books One key to children's reading success is making their reading experience entertaining, relaxing and enjoyable. Allowing them to choose their own reading
organisation. The land was now divided 23 big fields which were into long thin strips. Each family had a number of strips to plough. One of these fields was for spring crops, the other for autumn crops and the third was left to rest for a year. In each district there was a manor where people came to pay taxes. Each manor was ruled by a lord. That was the beginning of class system. Christianity: the partnership of Church and state Christianity certainly reached Britain before 4th century but no one knows the exact time. The Christianity was well spread in the Celtic areas. In 597 the pope send a monk called Augustine to Canterbury the capital of the king of Kent. He managed to make many ruling families to accept Christianity but he wasn't successful in spreading it among ordinary people. However the Celtic church was successful at it and Celtic bishops were also accepted in the Anglo Saxon areas

th The discovery of Australia goes back to the 17 century. The first discoverers were Dutchmen, who visited the north, west and north-west coasts of Australia. The discovered continent was called New Holland. Therefore no interest was taken in it for more than 150 years, cause the land was described as sandy and waterless. In 1770 Captain James Cook, the famous sailor and explorer, reached Australia from the south-east and it differed from the other parts of Australia. He landed in a place, great of beauty, with lots plants and flowers, which James Cook named Botany Bay. From there, J. Cook sailed along the east coast as far as Cape York, where he put up the British flag. The eastern part of Australia became a British Colony. th

They also offer impressive views of the city. NunnaTower Nunna tower was built in 1311 until 1320. It has diameter of 9,65 and height of 24,5 meters. Sauna Tower Sauna tower is konsol tower (kaitseehitistel väike konsoolidele toetuv kahele poole müüri ärklina eenduv torn müüri ülaosas), which was founded in 1371-1372. Until 1422 it belonged to nunnery. Tower was elevated in 1380 and in 1422 when it reached it's peak - 12 meter. It was restaurated in 1898, until that it was in ruins. Today only medieval thing left is lower part of the tower. Kuldjala Tower Kuldaja tower is a part of Tallinn's city wall. It was probally built in 1311-1320 in the city's west wall corner tower. It is located in a former nunnery yard. At first it was 9 meter in height and 7 meters in diameter. The height of the tower came to it's peak in 1610 - 22,5 meters.
and finally the native people of New Zealand were defeated. New Zealand was given dominion status in the British Empire in 1907 and granted autonomy by Britain in 1931, independence was formally proclaimed 1947. Today the Maori population is increasing faster than the pekaha, and Maori culture has had a major impact on New Zealand's society. The word "aboriginal" means "the first" or "the earliest known". The Aborigines reached Australia more than 40 000 years ago. They are dark-skinned people who probably came from Asia. They were hunter-gatherers, using spears and boomerangs for hunting. Before the first white settlers came, there were around 300 000 aborigines in about 250 tribal groups. Each group had its own territory, traditions, beliefs and even language. The Aboriginal religion is based on dreaming, they believe in Dreamtime. They say that
tourists about responsible natural resource management and where supply side fights for the needs and quality of life, environment and communities that support tourist projects. All above mentioned ST definitions have similarities, but they are also different at one point or another. For example, Hunter (1999) definition of ST is more likely to be one-sided; author suggests that sustainability can be reached only if there is enough flexible arrangement of resources. This definition does not give any answers to how reach ST it also does not give any examples or role models. Swarbrooke (1999) is more specific about defining ST, it can be more likely to use as a definition of ST, and author suggests that there is several sides to consider in order reaching ST. First hand, Faulkner et al. (2003) definition of ST is probably one of the most specific ones,
The vision has come full circle and now the dreamer can also hope to participate, as one ordinary tree has done, in that victory. The poem ends in a mood of confidence. Now the dreamer can bear solitude and the loss of friends on earth though he sees the way open to a `heavenly home'. 3. The Gen. Charst. Of OE poetry and prose. The distinction between verse and prose is by no mean always clear in that period of time. Anglo-Saxon verse is the product of a tradition which reached far back into pre-literate times and which was challenged and eventually replaced after the Conquest by a quite different tradition, so to say Eng poetry began with an end. But by contrast, the earliest monuments of English prose represent the true beginning of a tradition of written prose. But indeed the only work of prose which can claim a foothold of English literature is `Mandeville's Travels' and it's translated from the French
This was the time of the crystallization and the culmination of serfdom, when various socio- political and cultural undercurrents were also active, preparing the ground for the industrial society and the national-democratic movement in the second half of the 19th century. The 1710 of the corporations of knights and towns, until Alexander II (18551881), established the relationships between Estonia, Livonia and the Russian Empire. The Baltic Landesstaat reached its full development. The freedom of action in the new provinces was naturally granted to one of the most firm ideological pillars of the tsarist empire -- the Russian orthodox church; though as the Landeskirche in the Estonian and Livonian territories, the Lutheran church long maintained a de facto predominance. The most important organ of Baltic German local government was the Diet, consisting of all the noble families who had been `selected' in a list of the eligible. Although jealously
control, clutch pedal air assistance servo, etc.). How airbags work The design is conceptually simple; a central "Airbag control unit"[14] (ACU) (a specific type of ECU) monitors a number of related sensors within the vehicle, including accelerometers, impact sensors, side (door) pressure sensors[15], wheel speed sensors, gyroscopes, brake pressure sensors, and seat occupancy sensors. When the requisite 'threshold' has been reached or exceeded, the airbag control unit will trigger the ignition of a gas generator propellant to rapidly inflate a nylon fabric bag. As the vehicle occupant collides with and squeezes the bag, the gas escapes in a controlled manner through small vent holes. The airbag's volume and the size of the vents in the bag are tailored to each vehicle type, to spread out the deceleration of (and thus force experienced by) the occupant over time and over the occupant's body, compared to a seat belt alone.
Dorn said, because the implant has only 60 electrodes; many people see flashes or patches of light. Brian Mech, Second Sight's vice president for business development, said the company was seeking federal approval to market the 60-electrode version, which would cost up to $100,000 and might be covered by insurance. Also planned are 200- and 1,000-electrode versions; the higher number might provide enough resolution for reading. (Dr. Mech said a maximum electrode number would eventually be reached because if they are packed too densely, retinal tissue could be burned.) "Every subject has received some sort of visual input," he said. "There are people who aren't extremely impressed with the results, and other people who are." Second Sight is studying what affects results, including whether practice or disease characteristics influence the brain's ability to relearn how to process visual signals. People choose when to use the device by turning their camera on
Early History The first inhabitants of Canada were native Indian people who were called as Inuits. They are believed to be in Canada since about 10000 BC. The Inuits came to Canada from Asia crossing the Bering land bridge. The earliest discoveries in Canada were made by the Vikings. In AD 985 Vikings sailing from Iceland to Greenland were blown westward off their course and the Vikings sighted the coast of Labrador peninsula. The report of forested areas encouraged further exploration because the colonies in Greenland which belonged to the Vikings lacked lumber. In AD 1000 Leif Ericson became the first European to land in North America. The first colony was established what was described as Vinland by the Vikings. It was located on the northernmost tip of todays Newfoundland. There has also been a theory that the Vikings penetrated Hudson Bay and reached the Great Lakes region but recent investigations have...
They get a great deal of rain. The hot, wet climate is one that white people cannot stand well. Much of the western coast is dry and barren. There is a great desert in Australia, and it comes down to the sea on the western and southern coasts. William Dampier was the first englishman to reach Australia. But captain James Cook's explorations on the southeast coast were more important. He was on his way from New Zealand and reached Australia from the southeast. The part of Australia he found was very much different from the country visited by the earlier explorers. He landed in a place of great beauty, rich in plants and flowers, which he named Botany Bay. From Botany Bay James Cook sailed along the east coast as far as the Cape York, where he put up the British flag. The eastern part of Australia became a British colony. The Colonization of Australia
increasingly gaining ground that partnership between Russia and the EU is one of the cornerstones of maintaining stability and prosperity not only in Europe, but world-wide. Joint Russian-EU program called "A Partnership for Modernization" was launched. The main achievement has been the fact that the talks on Russia's membership in the WTO have finally ended in Russia's favor. Another important achievement is the recently reached agreement which stipulates that no visas will be needed for short-term trips between Russia and the EU countries. In my opinion at one point of view, the EU is more interested because we have made more trade- offs. On the other hand as the EU is by far the biggest investor in Russia and the most important market for Russian exports, it is very clear, that the benefits, that Russia gets by preserving good relations with the EU, are their main interest. This means that both are equal partners. 2

History The first people who arrived in the Americas were the Native Americans. Many of them lived in small groups of about 20-50 people. Most of them were very peaceful people, who lived by hunting and collecting food. Other Native Americans lived in small villages, where they had farms. When Columbus reached the Caribbean in 1492 he thought that he had landed in the East Indies in Asia, so he called the people there "Indians". After that thousands of Europeans arrived and they tried to take the land away from the Native Americans, so there were many wars. Native Americans also died from the diseases that the Europeans brought. At first they had to move to the west. But soon the white moved further west into the lands where the Indians lived and there were again many battles.
The mixtape paved the way for his first full length album entitled Show and Prove in 2006. Khalifa was declared an "artist to watch" that year in Rolling Stone magazine.

According to Canadian census 2011, 1.4 mln people of Aboriginal origin (4.3%): 852,000 First Nations persons, 452,000 Métis, 59,000 Inuit. Indian (First Nations) - No written history before the contact with Europeans. Chief historical sources European priests, travellers and traders not interested in the preservation of "pagan"myths. Different estimates about their number in Canada when Europeans reached North America from 300,000 to 1 mln. Saw themselves as part of nature, not as its masters. The First Nations were called "Indians" by Christopher Columbus when he landed in North America, because he thought he had reached India. Many now prefer to call themselves First Nations, though many still call themselves Indians in everyday conversation. They are still legally categorized by the Canadian Government under the Indian Act as Status Indians. Those who
when Estonia was only one from those 3 that´s real GDP growth rate was negative. Of course the other 2 countries followed Estonia during the next year2009 with showing negative performance in their real GDP growth rates. Estonia´s real GDP growth rate is most volatile with its ups and downs, while Finland and Hungary are more stable. However, Finland suffered quite rapid loss in real GDP growth rate in 2009, when it reached 8,4%. 3.2 Inflation Annual inflation rate has been the lowest throughout the years in Finland. Hungary and Estonia are showing continuously higher annual inflation rate. When the crisis hit in 2008, the inflation rate went up as a rocket for all of those countries, especially for Estonia, however it is remarkable that the next year2009 Estonia´s annual inflation rate dropped rapidly from 10,6% to 0,2%.

After all, they were performing near the end. Everyone agreed and so the five youngsters moved toward entrance. In the middle of the meal, a schoolgirl entered the cafeteria. She seemed to be in a hurry searching for someone. Finally, she spotted Alice and ran to her. "Hi! I'm Renate from the Space Dolls! You know, Sheila wanted to see you saying this was immediate!" Alice said she'd be off for a couple of minutes and left with Renate. "So, what's the matter?" she asked her friend once they reached the band. Everybody seemed upset and Sheila looked almost crying! "Hey, Sheila, what's the matter? Something happened?" "It's over!" "What is?" "The Space Dolls...My dream..." "What do you mean?" "Alexa left," said one of the other five women, "We don't have the pianist any more, and she was our leader up until today..." One blond maiden said, "Well, we can handle the leader stuff, but the pianist is still missing..." "And what do want me to do?" asked Alice.
basis of quantity rather than price and each firms makes an "output decision assuming that the other firm's behavior is fixed." · The market demand curve is assumed to be linear and marginal costs are constant. To find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium one determines how each firm reacts to a change in the output of the other firm. The path to equilibrium is a series of actions and reactions. The pattern continues until a point is reached where neither firm desires "to change what it is doing , given how it believes the other firm will react to any change. · The equilibrium is the intersection of the two firm's reaction functions. The reaction function shows how one firm reacts to the quantity choice of the other firm. Bertrand Model · The Bertrand model is essentially the Cournot-Nash model except the strategic variable is price rather than quantity.
