some injuries and no fatalities. The project of carving Rushmore was started to increase tourism in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. The statue of liberty is on Liberty island. It was the work of a French sculptor, and it was a gift from the French people to the people of the United States. It is maded of many parts. In 1884, all the parts were put together at the first time in paris to make sure they were the right size. They were, so the whole statue, witch weighed over 200 tonnes, was taken to america. Nowadays, it is possible to climb up her right arm to the torch, she is holding in her hand.

communicate while they were mobile. The idea behind two-way radios gave rise to the invention of mobile phones. During the 1940s, Motorola came up with the Walkie-Talkie followed by handheld two-way radios that operated on battery power. In 1947, Douglas Ring and W. Rae Young at Bell Labs introduced the idea of hexagonal cells for mobile phones. Ericsson came up with an automatic mobile phone system, which was released in Sweden in 1956. The drawback of this system was that the phones weighed 40 kg´s. Till 1970, mobile phones had to remain within their cell area and there were no means to continue communication while switching between cell areas. The call handoff system that allows users to move through different cell areas came up only in 1970. Mobile phones are nowadays almost in every people hands. They are irreplaceable communication device. Thanks for your attention.
Giza Pyramid The Pyramids of Egypt are the largest constructions ever built and they are one of the most potent and enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. They were buildings, where the dead kings and queens were placed. The pyramids were built between 2575-2465 BC. There were used 2, 3 million blocks of stone to build the Great Pyramid. Each block of stone weighed 2.5 tons and about 20 men transported it. There was about 100,000 men working there and it took about 20 years to build the Giza pyramid. This is the formula of setting the blocks to the Giza Pyramid : 2,400,000 stones used ÷ 20 years ÷ 365 days per year ÷ 10 work hours per day ÷ 60 minutes per hour = 0.55 stones laid per minute. Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"

unpretentious, honest food at its finest. This simple sandwich consist of as the name of it already says, grilled cheese and bread. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich: This sandwich needs no introduction. This sandwich is definitely the most versatile as one can use any sort of bread, jelly or substitute for peanut butter. INTERESTING FACTS November 3rd is National Sandwich Day. The world’s largest sandwich weighed 5,440 pounds. The most expensive sandwich ever sold was a grilled toast sandwich that seemed to have an image of the Virgin Mary on it. It sold for $28,000 in 2004. Why do sandwiches taste better when someone makes them for you? This is mainly because when we make food for ourselves, we get desensitized to the smell, and a large part of tasting is actually smelling. So when you make food for yourself and eat it, it’s similar to tasting without smelling.
sunlight reaches the floor in contrast to the usual 1-5 percent under full canopy conditions. The opening of a light gap brings many changes to the section of rainforest. Drip tips Equatorial rainfall is so heavy that trees can easily get damaged during storms. Their solution is to shed the rain as quickly as possible. Each leaf has a spout called a drip tip which acts like a gargoyle on a church, channelling the water away in a quick but controlled manner so the tree crown isn't weighed down. Drip tips may protect the tree in another way. Releasing the rain at drop size reduces the risk of the thin soil below being washed away so easily. An unstable soil structure could spell disaster for the larger trees. Epiphytes An epiphyte is a plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object (such as a building or a telegraph wire), derives its
Estonian National Cuisine re a d a c k B Bl The word ,,bread" came to Estonian from Germanic languages. Traditional black bread spread in Estonia in the second century. In a household people usually baked bread on Saturdays. Depending on the size of the family, they usually made 6-10 loaves of bread. One loaf of bread usually weighed about 2-5 kg. Beliefs and habits If a piece of bread was dropped, it had to be picked up and given a kiss so that hunger would not come to the house. A loaf of bread was never put on a table upside crust down. That would predict a family member's death. It was not allowed to lay a loaf of bread with its cut side to the door, because then the house would run out of bread. Eating the crusty end of bread would give a girl nice breasts.
Aim of the work Creating a solution from solid compounds, separating compounds from mixtures using their differences in solubility, determining the percentage of table salt in a sand-salt mixture. Used compounds Solid sodium chloride in a mixture with sand, dried to a constant weight at 105ºC. Equipment Beaker, glass rod, funnel, conical flask, measuring cylinder (250 cm 3), hydrometer, filter paper. 1) In a conical flask, dissolve the NaCl from a previously weighed sand-salt mixture. To do that, add about 50 cm3 of distilled water to the mixture. Stir the solution with a glass rod and then filter it. For filtration, fold the filter paper in half twice. Cut one corner for the filter paper to distribute evenly to the wall of the funnel (see Figure Figure 1.1 2.1 figure 1.1).
Temperate deciduous forest - Wildflowers grow on forest floor early in the spring before trees leaf-out and shade the forest floor ; many trees are deciduous (they drop their leaves in the autumn, and grow new ones in spring). Most deciduous trees have thin, broad, light-weight leaves that can capture a lot of sunlight to make a lot of food for the tree in warm weather; when the weather gets cooler, the broad leaves cause too much water loss and can be weighed down by too much snow, so the tree drops its leaves. New ones will grow in the spring.; trees have thick bark to protect against cold winters. Temperate rainforest- epiphytes such as mosses and ferns grow atop other plants to reach light. Cool temperatures lead to slow decomposition but seedlings grow on "nurse logs" to take advantage of the nutrients from the decomposing fallen logs. Trees can grow very tall due to amount of precipitation. Temperate Grassland
It was the most crowded part of Tallinn in those days. There were dwelling houses of the merchants and craftsmen at the side of the square. Numerous shops and stalls stood in front of them. The square was a market place already in the 11th century and served as such until 1896. It was called Suur Turg and got its present name Raekoja Plats only in 1923. On one side of the square, there was the House of Weights and Measures where all imported goods were weighed and measured before they got into the shop. There were also two pillories the big and the small one in the square. The culprits and those who were sentenced to death were brought to the pillory. The small pillory was fixed to the wall of the Town Hall. The punishment was carried out by the hangman and his assistants and was considered a great shame and dishonour. A round stone slab in the square signifies the place of the pillory. Pharmacy

The small pillory (for smaller criminals) was fixed to the wall of the Town Hall. Both pillories were used when people were birched. The punishment was carried out by the hangman and his assistants and was considered a great shame and dishonour. The pillories were still in use in the 19th century

--Peter Drucker, recipient of Presidential Medal of Freedom 199.2 ... Trevor stared at the LCD as it delivered the news. He blinked a few times. 199.2. Then he blinked a few more times. "Holy crap!" He'd put on about 10 pounds a year after sophomore year in high school, tipping the scales at 240 pounds at college graduation. Now, for the rst time since his teens, Trevor weighed less than 200 pounds. That had been the goal since stepping on a treadmill almost two years earlier, but a distant goal. Breaking the 200 barrier had seemed unattainable. Now he'd done it. The question wasn't so much how he did it. The real question was: why did it work? Simple. He'd made an agreement with a coworker: they would go to the gym together three times per week, and if either of them missed a session, that person had to pay the other $1.

order in its pocket, was purchased at a good price by the Hagelin interests and reorganized as Aktiebolaget Cryptoteknik, 14 Luntmakare- gatan, Stockholm. Boris Hagelin ran the firm. He saw that printing cipher machines were faster, more accurate, and more economical in terms of manpower than indicating mechanisms like the Enigma, which lit bulbs to indicate plain- or ciphertext letters. To the army machine he added a printing mechanism. The whole apparatus weighed 37 pounds, operated at 200 characters a minute, and could be carried inside a case about the size of an attaché case. This was the most compact printing cipher machine available in 1934, when the French general staff asked Hagelin for the impossible: a pocket- sized cipher machine that would print the ciphertext and so permit one- man operation. He first whittled a piece of wood that would fit into a pocket to mark the limits of his dimension. While trying to concoct a
memory, and as she recalled his very words, it was impossible not to feel that there was gross duplicity on one side or the other; and, for a few moments, she flattered herself that her wishes did not err. But when she read and re-read with the closest attention, the particulars immediately following of Wickham's resigning all pretensions to the living, of his receiving in lieu so considerable a sum as three thousand pounds, again was she forced to hesitate. She put down the letter, weighed every circumstance with what she meant to be impartiality--deliberated on the probability of each statement--but with little success. On both sides it was only assertion. Again she read on; but every line proved more clearly that the affair, which she had believed it impossible that any contrivance could so represent as to render Mr. Darcy's conduct in it less than infamous, was capable of a turn which must make him entirely blameless throughout the whole.

" Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?" "No," I groaned. "Go away." He chuckled. "I was taking her to the nurse," Mike explained in a defensive tone, "but she wouldn't go any farther." "I'll take her," Edward said. I could hear the smile still in his voice. "You can go back to class." "No," Mike protested. "I'm supposed to do it." Suddenly the sidewalk disappeared from beneath me. My eyes flew open in shock. Edward had scooped me up in his arms, as easily as if I weighed ten pounds instead of a hundred and ten. "Put me down!" Please, please let me not vomit on him. He was walking before I was finished talking. "Hey!" Mike called, already ten paces behind us. Edward ignored him. "You look awful," he told me, grinning. "Put me back on the sidewalk," I moaned. The rocking movement of his walk was not helping. He held me away from his body, gingerly, supporting all my weight with just his arms -- it didn't seem to bother him.
