gathered. Some of the land proved to be good for wheat. Other land proved good for sugarcane and fruit orchards. Of course people were needed to buy and sell what was raised. Others were needed to manufacture such things as butter, cheese, flour, steel, farm machinery, mining tools, shoes and clothing. Cities grew. Population Even today the big country is far from crowded. It is about the size of Unitad States, but its some 20 million population is less than four times as big as Chicago's. There are about 160,000 aborigines. More than half of all the people in Australia live in its eight biggest cities. Sydney and Melbourne are the two largest. Each one has about 3,000,000 people. Australia is a rich blend of varous ethnic groups, with substantial populations from Italy, Greece, former Yugoslavia, the Far East and Africa. The Political System

ning teiseks see, et kui me lähtume sellest, et kogu sotsiokultuuriline tegevus on sümboolne, siis kas on üldse olemas mitteperformatiivset tegevust. Etenduse puhul on lühidalt öeldes olemas laiem ja kitsam definitsioon. Esimene väidab, et kogu inimkäitumine, sealhulgas igapäevaelu, on õpitud ja ritualiseeritud, teine aga keskendub igapäevaelust eraldunud ning selgemini raamistatud sümboolsetele tegevustele ja sündmustele. Bert O. States tõdeb, et praktikas nimetatakse ühte nähtust etenduseks ühel põhjusel ja teist teisel põhjusel, nii et me võime selle mitmekesise mõistekasutuse abil teha küll kindlaks hulga erinevaid võimalikke etendamismooduseid, kuid mitte nende ühisnimetajat. Seega „me ei saa kunagi defineerida sellist nähtust nagu etendus”, see jääb „ähmaste piirjoontega mõisteks” (States 2006: 2503– 2504), mis on pidevalt avatud uutele tähendustele.

The river has a high salt content and declining water quality Deserts Deserts of Australia cover a large portion of the land in Australia. Most of the deserts lie in the central and northwestern part of the country. The Great Victoria Desert is a barren, arid and sparsely populated desert ecoregion in southern Australia. It falls inside the states of South Australia and Western Australia and consists of many small sandhills, grasslands and salt lakes. It is over 700 kilometres (435 miles) wide (from west to east) and covers and area of 424,400 square kilometres. It is the biggest desert in Australia. There are also Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert, and Simpson Desert. 5. Climate Rainfall plays a very important part in the lives of the Australian people.

After the American Revolutionary War they had to settle in Quebec and modern-day Ontario, because of offer of free land and also because they were repressed. The leading loyalists' properties were often confiscated and driven out of towns, so some of them sought refuge in Canada. United Empire Loyalists remained loyal to Britain after the American Revolution, migrated from the US to Upper and Lower Canada. Late Loyalists who left the United States substantially later -- mainly to gain land and to escape growing racial intolerance. 12. What was meant by the terms `Upper Canada' and `Lower Canada'? After the American Revolutionary War ended, a large group of loyalists to the British Crown immigrated into French-speaking Canada. In 1791, with this large English-speaking aggregation now living in French-speaking Canada, the British Parliament made its move. In a Constitutional Act, it split its Province of Quebec into Upper

He was the part of 1920s expatriate community in Paris and one of the veterans of World War I later known as ,,the Lost Generation".

This aid, however, came too late for half the colonists, who died during their first punishing winter in Massachusetts, but the following year, the survivors showed they had learned their lessons well. In the autumn of 1621, they produced their first successful harvest and in gratitude, celebrated their first Thanksgiving . Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the United States in 1863, and has been observed on the fourth Tuesday in November ever since, with the turkey as a centrepiece of the festivities.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (3. jaanuar 1892 2. september 1973) oli inglise kirjanik, poeet, filoloog ja professor. Kõige paremini tuntakse teda "Sõrmuste isanda" trioloogia (ka Silmarilion jne.) järgi. Lapsepõlv Tolkien sündis kolmandal jaanuaril 1892 Orange Free States, LõunaAafrikas, (vanemad Arthur Reuel Tolkien ja Mabel Suffield) kuhu nad kolisid sellepärast, et Arthurit edutati (Briti pank). Tolkienil oli vend nimega Hilary, kes sündis 1894. aastal. Lapsena hammustas Tolkieni ämblik, mis on ka tema hilisemaid kirjutusi mõjutanud. Kui ta oli kolme aastane läks Tolkien oma ema ja vennaga Inglismaale ja Johni isa pidi nendega ühinema, aga ta suri enne Britanniasse jõudmist palavikku. Pärast seda jäi pere ilma sissetulekuta ja nii otsustas

Roddick is known for his powerful first serve, usually serving at around 130-150 mph (209~242 km/h), which he uses to earn free points with aces and unreturnable serves. His first
HISTORY OF ESTONIA Estonians are one of the longest-settled European peoples, whose forebears, known as the "comb pottery" people, lived on the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea over 5,000 years ago. Like other early agricultural societies, Estonians were organized into economically self-sufficient, male-dominated clans with few differences in wealth or social power. By the early Middle Ages most Estonians were small landholders, with farmsteads primarily organized by village. With the collapse of the Russian empire in World War I, Russia's provisional government granted national autonomy to Estonia. A popularly elected assembly (Maapaev) was formed but was quickly forced underground by opposing extremist political forces. The Committee of Elders of the underground Maapaev announced the Republic of Estonia on February 24, 1918, 1 day before German troops invaded. After the withdrawal of Ger...
Päästekomitee, declared the independence of the Republic of Estonia. This date was celebrated as the Day of Independence until the Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1940. During the Soviet occupation, the Independence Day was festively celebrated in Estonian communities around the world. Every year, the US Secretary of State sent greetings on the occasion to the Ambassador of the Republic of Estonia to the United States, Ernst Jaakson. On February 24, 1989, the red flag of Soviet Estonia was replaced by the blue-black-white Estonian national flag on Toompea and since that time the Independence Day has been celebrated as a public holiday again. This year Estonia will celebrate the 83rd anniversary of the declaration of the state independence. A Quest for Independence For centuries, the Estonian people dreamed of establishing a state free of foreign domination. The
* "Utopia" a name he gave to the ideal and imaginary island nation, the political system of which he described in Utopia, published in 1516. * Written in Latvin * In it a traveller, Raphael Hythlodeaus describes the political arrangements of the imaginary island country of Utopia to himself and to Pieter Gillis. This novel describes the city of Amaurote by saying, "Of them all this is the worthiest and of most dignity". * Utopia contrasts the contentious social life of European states with the perfectly orderly, reasonable social arrangements of Utopia and its environs (Tallstoria, Nolandia, and Aircastle). In Utopia, with communal ownership of land, private property does not exist, men and women are educated alike, and there is almost complete religious toleration. Some take the novel's principal message to be the social need for order and discipline rather than liberty. The country of Utopia tolerates different religious practices but does not tolerate atheists
Patrick and other Christian missionaries in the early to mid-5th century AD, Christianity began to subsume the indigenous Celtic religion, a process that was completed by the year 600. Irish Music The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalizing cultural forces. In spite of emergration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music Irish literature For a comparatively small island, Ireland has made a disproportionately large contribution to world literature. Irish literature encompasses the Irish and English languages. Food and drink
RMS Titanic Kaspar Kitsnik VLE-11 Why was Titanic built? Although Titanic is best known for carrying the rich and famous between Europe and the United States, the Ship actually had several purposes: 1. To carry British and US mail--hence the full name of the ship is Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic. 2. To carry general cargo and frozen meat since at that time Europe could not produce enough livestock to meet its own needs. 3. To carry first-class passengers in great luxury, second-class passengers in great comfort and third-class passengers with great economy. 4

(Fara, EBSOCHOST) • Formula was derived due to Einstein’s realization of how closely energy and a mass of a body is connected. (Fara, EBSCOHOST) • This formula suggests that tiny amounts of mass can be converted into huge amounts of energy. (Galenet) The Manhattan Project • Einstein wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt informing him of a possible atomic bomb being built in Germany. (Galenet) • Einstein’s formula, E=MC2, was key in the United States developing the atomic bomb. (Galenet) Awards • Throughout his career as a scientist, Einstein has won numerous awards. These are only some of what he received for his accomplishments: – Named person of the century by Time magazine in 1999. – The Gallop Poll recorded Einstein as the fourth most admired person in the 20th century. – Barnard Medal of Columbia University in 1920 – Copley Medal of Royal Society in 1925
some places for scholarships. Each year hundreds of students want to do as well as possible on their exams, because the competition is very high and fierce to get a place in these schools. It makes people to try harder and be more conscientious with things they try to accomplish. Since I already know what I want to do in the future, I have had time to think about things and prepare for this. I have taken college-level math, done a lot of research and now, I'm attending high school in the states to improve my English, so that I can speak it fluently. Nothing comes easy. The journey to become an air traffic controller will be definitely hard, but since I love new challenges and a bumpy lifestyle, I am more than ready and crazily excited. Having goals for the future helps you grow more as a person in life and I will do all I can to succeed in reaching this goal.
Invictus I saw the film ,,Invictus" at school in November. ,, Invictus" is a biographical sports drama film, which was released in the United States on December 11, 2009. The film is produced by Clint Eastwood, Lori McCreary, Robert Lorenz, Mace Neufeld and directed by Clint Eastwood.

World. He spent the last few months of his life in bed because of the pain of arthritis. Columbus not only discovered a New World, but he led the way for other explorers. Since his death, Columbus has been heralded as a hero for his discoveries but has also become a figure of controversy for the disastrous effects of his explorations on native peoples in the Americas. Christopher's accomplishments are recognized in different countries and in different ways. The United States celebrates Columbus' first voyage to the Americas with a holiday on the second Monday in October. This holiday is called Columbus Day. It has also been called Discovery Day and Landing Day. Some cities, like New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, have parades. The city of Columbus, Ohio, is named after Christopher. Spain and South America celebrate Christopher's accomplishments on October 12. Spain calls it National Day. Some South American cities place flowers
In 1743 near present-day Hardin, Montana, the Absaroka first encountered people of European descent - the two La Vérendryes brothers from French Canada. The explorers called the Apsáalooke beaux hommes (handsome men). The Crow called the French Canadians baashchíile (persons with yellow eyes). The Crow Indian Reservation in south-central Montana is a large reservation covering approximately 2,300,000 acres (9,300 km2) of land area, the fifth-largest Indian reservation in the United States. The reservation is primarily in Big Horn and Yellowstone counties with ceded lands in Rosebud, Carbon, and Treasure Counties. The 2000 census reported a total population of 6,894 on reservation lands. Its largest community is Crow Agency. Traditional Crow shelters are tipis made with bison skins stretched over wooden poles. The Crow are historically known to construct some of the largest tipis. Inside the tipi, mattresses
Lehesalu Andres AT112 Lacrosse Lacrosse Lacrosse is a team sport of Native American origin played using a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick, mainly played in the United States and Canada. It is a contact sport which requires padding such as shoulder pads, gloves, helmets, elbow pads, and sometimes even rib guards History Lacrosse, a relatively popular team sport in the Americas, may have developed as early as AD 1100. By the seventeenth century it was well- established and had been documented by Jesuit priests, although the game has undergone many modifications since that time. In the traditional aboriginal Canadian version, each team consisted of about 100
As oil moves throughout the crank case of an engine, it breaks down into many different types of carcinogenic and even mutagenic compounds. When a leaky engine releases this oil into the street, it runs to the sewer and from there it becomes part of a laundry-list of contaminants that makes its way into waterways. Even a small drip of oil can turn into a disaster when you consider the fact that there are more than 250 million cars on the road in the United States alone. Even if all of these vehicles were in perfect working order, the disposal of the used oil would still be a huge issue. Clean Up Beaches and Waterways Wherever you have waterways that see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of human use. Wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well-used beaches and rivers around the world. It should be fairly obvious that
recognized the overall authority of the British government. All the changes that took place in Britain were carried to its subjects as well in one way or another. Everything that took place in the mother country reflected to its subjects as well. After the World War II, in 1947 India gained its independence and a new state of Pakistan was simultaneously created which led to a wave of decolonisation and several colonies became independent and sovereign states. The London declaration of 1949 was a base to the developing of the modern Commonwealth. Now the joining of the Commonwealth became a natural choice for many new nations that were emerging out of the decolonisation process of the 1950s and 1960s. Although the members of the Commonwealth are technically a part of it, they rule themselves and just receive aid from the organization. The main difference between the Commonwealth of today and the British Empire lies
majanduslikult täielikult sõltuvaks. Selle vältimiseks otsustati Unioonist lahku lüüa ja moodustada omaette riik. Esimesena lahkus 20. detsembril 1860 USA koosseisust Lõuna-Carolina, millel oli sageli keskvõimuga lahkarvamusi olnud, hiljem järgnesid mitmed teised. Veebruariks 1861 oli setsesseerunud riike juba seitse: Lõuna-Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi ja Louisiana. Nad moodustasid uue Ameerika Riikide Konföderatsiooni (The Confederate States of America) ning valisid enda presidendiks Jefferson Davise. Otsustavaks tuleks aga ilmselt pidada Lõuna rikkaima ja mõjukaima osariigi Virginia lahkulöömist Unioonist 1861. aasta märtsis. Lisaks temale ühinesid Konföderatsiooniga veel ka Tennessee, Arkansas ja Põhja-Carolina.

Peamiseks keskmise riigi tunnuseks võiks olla mingis valdkonnas suurema võimekuse omamine võrreldes väikeriikidega. Näiteks Šveits oma rahandussektoriga või Saudi Araabia ja Kuveit naftaäriga võiks liigitada keskmiste riikide gruppi. (Neumann, Iver B.; Gstöhl, Sieglinde (2006) Peatükk: „Introduction – Lilliputians in Gulliver’s world?“ raamatust Small states in international relations, Seattle, University of Washington Press, lk 8). Euroopa keskmisterks riikideks võivad olla ka Ungarit, Tsehhit, Slovakkiat, Rumeeniat, Soomet. Euroopas loetakse väikeriikideks riike, mille rahvaarv on alla 16 miljoni elaniku (Neumann, Iver B.; Gstöhl, Sieglinde (2006) Peatükk: „Introduction – Lilliputians in Gulliver’s world?“ raamatust Small states in international relations, Seattle, University of Washington Press, lk 6).

Family Life The basic unit of Islamic society is the family, and Islam defines the obligations and legal rights of family members. The father is seen as financially responsible for his family, and is obliged to cater for their well-being. The division of inheritance is specified in the Qur'an, which states that most of it is to pass to the immediate family, while a portion is set aside for the payment of debts and the making of bequests. With some exceptions, the woman's share of inheritance is generally half of that of a man with the same rights of succession.

MUSIC Irish Music is the generic term for music that has been created in various genres on the entire island of Ireland. The indigenous(kodumaine) music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalising cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well- developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced(mõjutama) many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music. It has occasionally(mõnikord) been fused(sulanud) with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres. Some of these fusion artists have attained mainstream success, at home and abroad. In recent decades(aastakümne) Irish music in many

like that!") Accept the fact that someone is always going to think they're in more of a hurry than you. These are the drivers you want to move far away from, not to 'teach them a lesson.' 3 3 Try to avoid driving in bad weather. Always keep your windshield wipers going in the rain or snow. Defrost your windshield to keep it from fogging up. Turn on your headlights to help others to see you--this is also the law in some states. If possible, try to avoid driving in the snow at all, especially if your car is rear wheel drive. If you must go out in the snow, drive extra slow, use the brakes and gas pedal gently, and maintain an increased stopping distance. 4 4 Never get into a car with a drunk driver. It is always best to have a "designated driver". Never drive after you have had alcoholic beverages. Even one beer can alter your ability to drive safely. 5 5 Wear a seatbelt
