problem of the Moors in the south. His campaigns were successful and, on July 25, 1139, he obtained an overwhelming victory in the Battle of Ourique, and straight after was unanimously proclaimed King of Portugal by his soldiers. Afonso then established the first of the Portuguese Cortes at Lamego, where he was crowned by the Archbishop of Braga, though the validity of the Cortes of Lamego has been disputed and called a myth created during the Portuguese Restoration War. Afonso was recognized in 1143 by King Alfonso VII of León and Castile, and in 1179 by Pope Alexander III. Afonso Henriques and his successors, aided by military monastic orders, pushed southward to drive out the Moors, as the size of Portugal covered about half of its present area. In 1249, this Reconquista ended with the capture of the Algarve on the southern coast, giving Portugal its present-day borders, with minor exceptions.
invasion of Scotland. The First Independence war ended with de jure restoration of Scottish independence with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328. Scotland's de facto independence had been restored in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn. Signing of the Magna Carta Magna Carta is a British document, which was signed by King John in 1215. It reaffirmed long-standing rights and responsibilities of the English nobility; limited the powers of the king; and recognized that all people, including the government and monarch, are subject to the law. Peasants' Revolt The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 is one of the most dramatic events of English history. It began as a local revolt in Essex and quickly spread across much of the south east of England. The causes of the Peasants Revolt: No peasants could be paid more than the wages paid in 1346. No lord or master should offer more wages than paid in 1346. No peasants could leave the village they belonged to.
Russification took place and it caused rebellion and considerable emigration mostly to the United States and Canada. The Twentieth Century Estonian proclamation of independence in February 1918 was followed shortly by German occupation. After Germany surrendered to the Allies in November 1918, Estonia declared itself an independent democratic republic and repulsed the invading Red Army. In 1920, by the Peace of Tartu, Soviet Russia recognized Estonia's independence. Political parties were abolished in 1934, and President Konstantin Päts instituted an authoritarian regime(reziim). A more democratic constitution came into force in 1938; but the Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 1939, placed the Baltic countries under Soviet control.Complete Soviet military occupation came in June 1940. Following elections in July, Estonia was incorporated into the USSR as a constituent republic. Over 60,000
Christianize the Estonians. By 1227 the Danes controlled northern Estonia; the Livonian Knights, southern Estonia. The Teutonic Knights, another German crusading order, gained control of southern Estonia in 1237 and later conquered all of Estonia. The Teutonic Knights withdrew from Estonia in 1560. Sweden and Poland then fought for control of Estonia; in 1629, Sweden won and annexed the region. Peter I of Russia conquered Estonia in 1710, and in 1721 Sweden formally recognized Russian possession of the region. Russia remained in control of Estonia until shortly after the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. At the treaty of Brest-Litovsk the following year, which brought an end to Russian involvement in World War I, Estonia was ceded. The new Soviet government at first refused to recognize Estonian independence but gave way in February 1920. The new state along with its Baltic neighbors, Lithuania and Latvia enjoyed just

An instance of the latter occurred in 2007, when a 28-year-old woman consumed six liters of water over a three-hour period for a radio station's on-air drinking contest. "She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," one of the woman's co-workers would tell reporters. "She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her." Athletes endurance athletes, especially are also recognized as being at risk of water poisoning. Results from a study published in 2005 in the New England Journal of Medicinesuggest nearly one in six participants in 2002's Boston Marathon experienced some degree of hyponatremia. A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine states unequivocally that "exercise associated hyponatremia is due to overdrinking." In the article, sports physiologists Timothy David Noakes and Benjamin Speedy lament the
would have been considered miraculous even two hundred years ago. No doubt: The human mind is highly intelligent. Yet its very intelligence is tainted by madness. Science and technology have magnified the destructive impact that the dysfunction of the human mind has upon the planet, other life-forms, and upon humans themselves. That is why the history of the twentieth century is where that dysfunction, that collective insanity, can be most clearly recognized. A further factor is that this dysfunction is actually intensifying and accelerating. The First World War broke out in 1914. Destructive and cruel wars, motivated by fear, greed, and the desire for power, had been common occurrences throughout human history, as had slavery, torture, and widespread violence inflicted for religious and ideological reasons. Humans suffered more at the hands of each other than through natural disasters. By

This is in very stark contrast to the early days of the American republic, when the country was generally seen as an agricultural backwater with little to offer the culturally advanced world centers of Europe and Asia. At the beginning of her third century, nearly every major American city offers classical and popular music; historical, scientific and art research centers and museums; dance

close mixes were jointly responsible for over 70% of attacks. The authors of the study explained the statistics by popularity, big size and powerfulness of the named breeds and their ability to do a lot of damage. Besides, about the pit bull attacks the absence of warning from a dog played a significant role, because due to the custom of docking (cutting short) pit bulls’ tails warning signals could not be easily recognized. The NGOs concerned publicized the study and then, with the help of supporters, by the way of 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

Mass Media What is Mass Media? Statistics show that there are few things which impact the human mind more than mass media. The advice of teachers, parents and relatives may fall on deaf ears, but the mass media influence holds us all spellbound! At this point, it becomes necessary to define mass media. Mass media may be defined as any form of communication which is meted out to the people at large, through the various forms of communication. What modes of communication are we talking about? Well there can be no static definition for the channels of mass communication as they are increasing all the time. But any form of communication which is seen and understood by a large mass of people can be taken to mean mass communication or mass media channels. Why is mass media so attractive to people? Mass media holds a kind of mystique in the minds of the people. It is because the communication is designed in ...

The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama. Anne Bradstreet of Massachusetts published some lyrical poems of high literary quality (1650) and Edward Taylor, who was born in England but lived in Boston,

Why torture is never justifiable Retribution The consequences of challenging a person suspected of being part of an organized and violent terrorist network can bring exactly the opposite of maximum happiness, or exactly the opposite of minimum pain and suffering. In the end of last year, Senate Intelligence Chairman Dianne Feinstein released the executive summary of the committee’s five-year review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program. Also in this, the US Senate has recognized that “there are those who will seize upon the report and say “see what Americans did,” and they will try to use it to justify evil actions or to incite more violence“ (Feinstein, 2014). Wasting valuable time It is important to note that utilitarians only categorized things as either good or bad. If a consequence of an act brings maximum happiness to the greatest number of people, it is good, which however doesn't mean the act automatically should be considered as inherently good
books, in or out of school. Moreover, most of the colonists seem to have felt strong ties with England. In this they were unlike their Anglo-Saxon ancestors, who apparently made a clean break with their continental homes. A good many Englishmen and some Americans used to condemn every difference that did develop, and as recently as a generation ago it was not unusual to hear all "Americanisms" condemned, even in America. It is now generally recognized in this country that we are not bound to the Queen's English, but have a full right to work out our own habits. Even a good many of the English now concede this, though some of them object strongly to the fact that Americanisms are now having an influence on British usage. There are thousands of differences in detail between British and American English, and occasionally they crowd together enough to make some difficulty. If you read that a man,
The evening was spent in joy, and the next day dawned as usual for Oliver except that Harry began going with him every morning to gather flowers. Rose continued to recover, and Oliver continued hard at his studies. One night while studying, Oliver fell asleep and had a bad dream about being back with the Jew. He awoke startled to find that the very man of his dream was standing outside the window looking in on him with the man who had accosted him in the yard of the inn. They recognized each other, and the Jew and his companion left, and Oliver screamed for help. Chapter 35: Oliver's cries brought Harry and Giles to him, and after he told them what happened, they set off to pursue the Jew and his companion. Dr. Losberne joined them in the chase, but to no avail. The next day they searched more but found nothing to indicate their presence. They gave up the search and one afternoon Harry went to see Rose and profess his love to her. Rose expressed to him that she

Such pills are, usually, caused by the combination of washing and wearing of fabrics; in detail, due to the abrasion of fabric surface, a number of loose fibers tend to entangle into short fine hairs thus developing into spherical bundles anchored to the surface of the fabric (see Figure 1). The fabric’s pills formation (i.e
European to land in North America. According to the sagas this was the first of many Norse voyages to the eastern shores of the continent. Leif Eriksson established a colony what the Vikings described as Vinland. By 1600 the wealth from the fur trade and the fishing industry renewed French interests in North America. The King of France decided to settle what is now eastern Canada. The colony would be named New France. But for that claim to be internationally recognized the region had to be successfully colonized by the French. To avoid the high costs of building the settlements the King of France made an agreement with a private furtrading company. If the company brought settlers to New France, it would have a monopoly on the fur trade and they would receive all the profits. Early attempts at colonization failed. But in 1604 a French noble man and a map
In fact, there is a preliminary step in the case of SpeechRater: the response is first processed by a speech recognizer, the output of which provides a more pliable basis for the construction of scoring features than the raw speech stream. This speech recognizer is adapted to the speech of non-native English speakers from a wide variety of firstlanguage backgrounds, but still manages a word accuracy rate of only around 50%. While this means that, on average, every other word is recognized incorrectly, this is the best that can currently be achieved by state-of-the art wide-coverage speech recognition systems on data from non-native speakers with multiple language backgrounds and proficiency levels, under variable recording conditions. (Since TPO is web-based, examinees may record their responses in their own homes, using their own microphones.) This level of recognizer performance means that the features extracted by
1 Wave energy Introduction to wave energy There are several possibilities to harvest different forms of energy from the sea. One of these options is the usage of waves for the generation of electricity. The devices needed to perform this task are called wave energy converters. Wave energy is indirect solar energy in twice. At first there is the wind, which is caused by variations in atmospheric pressure due to a differential solar heating of earth's surface by the sun. Different regions of pressure drives a force which rises a movement of atmospheric air masses that causes the earths wind system. If wind strikes over the surface of an open water, waves are induced. First they are very flat with only a low level of energy. When there is a long distance over the water on which wind can attack the small ones, they became bigger and bigger with a l...

and beyond. The Industrial Revolution was the key to the modern Western society it made the European working class and middle-class. By 1800 Britain was the most industrialised country in the world. Aided by revolutions in agriculture, transportation, communications and technology, England was able to become the "first industrial nation". This is a fact that historians have long recognized. New methods of farming meant that England could produce enough food to feed itself and export as well. England was rich in coal, iron ore and wool, and its aim was to supply two-thirds of the globe with cotton spun, dyed, and woven in the industrial centres of northern England. A vast network of canals was built, supplemented by railways. Telegraph lines, magazines, and newspapers provided people with steady flow of information. England proudly proclaimed

Lady Dundas, a charitable fund raiser for war victims, arranged for Viscount Dalrymple, then a small boy, to parade around the grounds on a Shetland pony to collect money for the war. The RHS, which in 1911 refused to allow ladies banquets, now recognized that lady gardeners existed, and acknowledged the necessity to dig for victory. In 1915 it even organized a show of women's work at the Horticultural Halls. As the war deepened, the RHS struggled on. By November the Council had removed King Ferdinand of Bulgaria as an honorary fellow and, the following February, decided that tickets should remain at ten shillings for the first public-access day, with two shillings and sixpence on the second day, and one shilling on the third day of the show.
.. Clop, -clop, -clop! Up the street came the delivery wagon. Alliteration The repetition of similar or identical consonants at the beginning of neighbouring words or stressed syllables: Most musical of mourners, weep again! This device goes back to Anglo-Saxon poetry that knew no rhyme and did not yet rely on metre. An example of this period: In a somer seson, when soft was the sonne, I shope me in shroudes, as I shepe were. (W.Langland) The importance of A. Is fully recognized by contemporary poets as well. They use it more sparingly, yet rather frequently and effectively. The complete alliteration of Anglo-Saxon poetry is sometimes used for humorous purposes: Susan Simpson strolled sedately, Stifling sobs, suppressing sighs. (Anon.) Alliteration may have its share in producing an ironic effect. Byron, for example, pokes fun at the sugar sweetness of writers of love songs through the consonants in the second line of When amatory poets sing their loves

Whipple had been working on the problem since before 1841, when he patented and built his all-iron bowstring truss bridge, which proved exceptionally suitable for short highway and canal spans. His book on stress analysis, A Work on Bridge Building, is recognized as the USA's contribution to structural mechanics for the period. His major breakthrough was the realization that truss members could be analysed as a system of forces in equilibrium, assuming that a joint is a frictionless pin. Forces are broken down into horizontal and vertical components whose sums are in equilibrium. Known as the "method of joints," it permits the determination of stresses in all members of a truss if two forces are known. Whipple clearly outlined
flect that progress. In addition to an overall update of the material, I have devoted special attention to updated coverage of popular culture and new technology, as well as to research on cross-cultural social influence-how the influence process works similarly or differently in various human cultures. I have also expanded a fea- ture that was stimulated by the responses of prior readers. This feature highlights the experiences of individuals who have read Influence, recognized how one of the principles worked on (or for) them in a particular in- stance, and wrote to me describing the event. Their descriptions, which appear in the "Reader's Reports" in each chapter, illustrate how easily and frequently we can fall victim to the influence process in our everyday lives. There are now twice as many firsthand accounts of how the book's principles apply to business and personal lives. An array of people deserve and have my appreciation for their aid in making In-
broadening of the right to vote into universal adult suffrage. Uncodified constitution is a type of constitution where the fundamental rules often take the form of customs, usage, precedent and a variety of statutes and legal instruments.[1] An understanding of the constitution is obtained through reading commentary by the judiciary, government committees or legal experts. In such a constitutional system, all these elements may be (or may not be) recognized by courts, legislators and the bureaucracy as binding upon government and limiting its powers. Such a framework is sometimes imprecisely called an "unwritten constitution"; however, all the elements of an uncodified constitution are typically written down in a variety of official documents, though not codified in a single document. The legislature is a deliberative assembly with the authority to make laws for a political entity such as a country or city
reported reserves in the 1980s when competing for global market share. Based on available production data, proponents have previously predicted the peak for the world to be in years 1989, 1995, or 1995–2000. Some of these predictions date from before the recession of the early 1980s, and the consequent reduction in global consumption, the effect of which was to delay the date of any peak by several years. Just as the 1971 U.S. peak in oil production was only clearly recognized after the fact, a peak in world production will be difficult to discern until production clearly drops off. The peak is also a moving target as it is now measured as "liquids", which includes synthetic fuels, instead of just conventional oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says production of conventional crude oil peaked in 2006. Since virtually all economic sectors rely heavily on petroleum, peak oil could
If a similar dispute has been resolved in the past, the court is bound (having a moral or legal duty to do something) to follow the reasoning used in the prior decision. When there is no precedent with similar facts then the judge has to make decision based on legal principles and this decision will be a precedent for other courts to follow. Another important aspect of common law is equity. Courts of equity recognized rights that were not enforced in common law. For example in a breach of contract claim the court of equity forced the other party to fulfill a contract and common law court forced the other party to pay damages. In 1873 the two systems were unified. Sometimes governments make new laws which are called statutes (a law that has been formally approved and written down) to modify or clarify the common law, or to make rules where none existed before. This was a short overview of common law. 4
I was anxious not to be late for class on my first day. One of my new acquaintances, who considerately reminded me that her name was Angela, had Biology II with me the next hour. We walked to class together in silence. She was shy, too. When we entered the classroom, Angela went to sit at a black-topped lab table exactly like the ones I was used to. She already had a neighbor. In fact, all the tables were filled but one. Next to the center aisle, I recognized Edward Cullen by his unusual hair, sitting next to that single open seat. As I walked down the aisle to introduce myself to the teacher and get my slip signed, I was watching him surreptitiously. Just as I passed, he suddenly went rigid in his seat. He stared at me again, meeting my eyes with the strangest expression on his face -- it was hostile, furious. I looked away quickly, shocked, going red again. I stumbled over a book in the walkway and had to catch myself on the edge of a table.
life into Georgian economy. The main aim of the reforms was to boost foreign investments, cre- ate new jobs, stimulate entrepreneurial activities in a variety of fields and increase the welfare of citizens. As a result of economic deregulation policy which was focused on liberalization of the Economy, a number of state regulated spheres were sharply decreased and regulation procedures were sim- plified. Consequently, our achievements have been recognized by a number of international in- stitutions. This year the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation published a joint research Doing Business 2011, under which Georgia ranks 12th among 183 countries in terms of Ease of Doing Business. Moreover, Georgia surpasses 174 counties in terms of reformation of business regulations since 2005. Last but not least, Georgia ranks first in the Post-soviet space, excluding the Baltic countries, in terms of counter-corruption policy
The gross worldwide income includes any income from the sale of goods/works/ services, capital gains, foreign exchange gains, free-of-charge transfers and other taxable receipts in cash, in kind, or in form of intangibles accrued within the reporting period. Ukraine uses an accrual method for tax accounting. Income is realized in the tax period when the transfer of ownership title to goods/services/works occurred, while deductible expenses (forming the cost of production) can be recognized on the date when the relevant goods/services/works were supplied.

Your Business in Ukraine 2012 Income exempt from CIT The following types of income are not included in the taxable profit: capital contributions in equity; contributions in cash or in-kind under contracts of joint activity to be conducted in Ukraine (without incorporation n Ukraine); share premiums realized by the issuer; dividends received from residents of Ukraine and nonresidents under the recipient's

ALLITERATION (Rhyme and Text, page 41) - Alliteration is the repetition of single sounds or groups of sounds (usually word-initial sounds, especially consonants). Alliteration goes back to Anglo-Saxon poetry that knew no rhyme and did not yet rely on metre. The importance of alliteration is fully recognized by contemporary poets as well. They use it more sparingly, yet FGI 1081 Stylistics (I. Ladusseva) 11 rather frequently and effectively. The complete alliteration of Anglo-Saxon poetry is sometimes used for humorous purposes. Further on, alliteration may have its share in producing an ironic effect. Alliteration may convey various shades of meaning. Another function of alliteration lies
