London the new Babel London is the capital of the United Kingdom but at the same time it is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. The population of London is more than seven million people. There are very many different people living in one city. Almost every race, culture and religion in the world is represented in London. Many people move to London to work or study. It is very popular among young people because of the nightlife, universities with good reputation and big shopping streets. For older people the main attraction is in theatres, great museums and parks. In the past few years, the number of immigrants has grown rapidly because of the widening of the European Union. It is now easier for people to travel inside the EU. Londoners are well known for their politeness but not all of them deserve this kind of fame. There are many people living in London who do not acce...
The Haapsalu Bishop's Castle The Haapsalu Bishop's Castle and Cathedral, which was established in the 13th century as the centre of the SaareLääne Diocese, is one of the best preserved castles in Estonia. It is located on the western coast of Estonia in Haapsalu. The Haapsalu Castle is one of the most remarkable examples of Estonian MiddleAge fortress architecture. The stronghold construction, widening and reconstruction went on throughout several centuries, with architecture changing according to the development of weapons. The fortress achieved its final dimensions area of more than 3 hectares, thickness of the wall between 1.2 and 1.8 meters, and maximum height over 10 metres under the reign of Bishop Johannes IV(fourth). In the 17th century, the castle was no longer used as a defensive building by the Swedes who now ruled the Swedish Estonian Province

Tallinn University TURKEY AND THE EUROPEAN UNION Tallinn 2013 INTRODUCTION The accession negotiations and the forthcoming Turkish accession present challenges to both Turkey and the EU. It is widely accepted that Turkey's accession would be different from previous enlargements because of the combined impact of Turkey's population, size, geographical location, economic, security and military potential. The case of Turkey will be different and more challenging from previous accessions for a number of reasons, some of them are presented below. Turkey is a country with a large population and geographic area. With a population of 74 million today, it is projected that it could be the largest member state at the time of accession. As a Moslem secular country, Turkey will also add a new demographic and religious dimension to the EU. Also, the presence of a large number of Turkish immigrants in European count...
Such a duo could reach 14,000 hand movements per working day, printing around 3,600 pages in the process. In this painting, done in London in 1533, Hans Holbein freeze-frames the Renaissance world. Two young men stand next to an array of objects that signify discovery, knowledge and the arts. A globe of the world, showing America, shares space with a lute, an astronomical globe, a Turkish rug used as a tablecloth, and a selection of mathematical instruments. These things speak of a widening world, in which Britain during the reign of Henry VIII was starting to play a bigger part. But something smears across the lower part of the painting, grisly and absurd: looked at from the correct angle, this distorted image reveals itself as a skull. Death haunts the age of discovery. Sir John Gilberts 1849 painting The plays of Shakespeare containgin scenes and characters from several of w.s plays-
variation. Darwin showed that the distinction between species was not hard and fast. There are varieties of a given intricately adapted to different conditions, that routinely interbred along the boundary between their home territories, but the mixed varieties tend to remain confined to the boundary area, since they are less adapted than either of the base varieties to their own home territories. Specification in nature did not require dramatic jumps, but could emerge out of gradually widening variation. Darwin examined variation under domestication to demonstrate that the deliberate selection of breeders could produce varieties as markedly different from the root stock as the varieties found in nature. Deliberate selection through breeding was obviously a much faster and "efficient" process than natural selection through differential rates of survival in the face of environmental pressures, but the end result would be essentially

Financial system and economic situation of the country Syria is a middle-income, developing country with an economy based on agriculture, oil, industry, and tourism. However, Syria's economy began to face serious challenges and impediments to growth even prior to March 2011, including: a large and poorly performing public sector; declining rates of oil production; widening non-oil deficit; widescale corruption; weak financial and capital markets; and high rates of unemployment tied to a high population growth rate. In addition, Syria has been subject to U.S. economic sanctions since 2004 under the Syria Accountability Act, which prohibits or restricts the export and re-export of most U.S. products to Syria. As a result of an inefficient and corrupt centrally planned economy, Syria has both low

1. EUROOPA LIIDU INSTITUTSIONAALNE ERILISUS Kaasaja globaliseeruvas maailmamajanduses on riikidevahelise koostöö edendamine ning regionaalse iseloomuga kokkulepete levik ulatuslikum kui kunagi varem. Kogu maailmas on registreeritud ligikaudu 3000 rahvusvahelist organisatsiooni, mille puhul riikidevahelist koostööd ei juhi ja kontrolli üksnes rahvusriikide valitsused, vaid ka rahvusülesed institutsioonid. Eriti 1990. aastatel on tihenenud ka riikidevaheliste majanduslepingute sõlmimine kui näiteks 1990. aastal oli jõus üksnes 45 regionaalset kaubanduskokkulepet, siis praeguseks on Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsioonis (WTO World Trade Organisation) registreeritud üle 100 kaubanduskokkuleppe. Eelneva taustal peaksime Euroopa Liitu suhtuma kui ühesse paljudest riikidevahelise koostöö vormidest. Samas teevad aga mitmed asjaolud 27 Euroopa riigi vahelise koostöö väga eriliseks nähtuseks maailma poliitilises ja majanduslikus süsteemis. E...

NBU, which wastes, by opinion of many economists, foreign currency reserves on keeping UAH at its current pegged rate while the trade deficit widens. The chart below illustrates dynamics of Ukraine's foreign currency reserves, clearly indicating that capital outflow accelerates. Source: National Bank of Ukraine, Ukraine Macro Outlook for 2013 by UkrSibbank (BNP Paribas Group) For the last several years the NBU has shielded the UAH against sharp depreciation, despite the widening gap of the balance of payments. This may be explained by the population's extreme sensitivity to any drop in the exchange rate, which immediately triggers withdrawals of UAH retail deposits. 48 For example, by opinion of BNP Paribas Group's bank in Ukraine (UksSibbank), UAH rate was (Q1 2013) overvalued by 15%. Devaluation of domestic currency is never black and white issue. Again, in view of BNP
hair or European." Jennings found little difference in the skull length between those long- hairs and short-hairs; indicating that the Victorian long-hairs had not yet become the snub- nosed cats familiar to 21st Century cat lovers. When Weir drew up his "points of excellence" for judging cats in 1889 he defined differences between the Angora and the Persian. Pocock later stated (1907) that Persians had a marked shortening and widening of the face i.e. it had diverged from the Angora. In addition, the Angora had sleeker fur, lacking a woolly undercoat. By 1903, Simpson had effectively dismissed the Angora cat in favour of the Persian type. Only in very recent times has the true Turkish Angora come back from being thus relegated in Britain. By 1901 the colours were black, white, blue, orange (red selfs, red tabbies), cream or fawn, sable, smoke, tabby, spotted, chinchilla, tortoiseshell, bicolour and tricolour (tortie-and-
answered "yes" or "no"; a command is obeyed or disobeyed. Intuitively, a nondeclarative sentence corresponds to a state of affairs that may or may not obtain, even though its function is not to describe or report that state of affairs. And for semantical purposes we may as well treat those semantic values as truth-values. For example, a command is "true" if it does in fact go on to be obeyed, "false" if it does not. Of course this is a nonstandard use of "true" and "false"; we are widening their application to all semantic bipolarity. (Perhaps we should make up a pair of more general semantical terms, such as "positive" and "negative.") A first rejoinder Not all nondeclaratives are thus bipolar. Consider "wh-" questions, such as "Who robbed the diaper service?," "What time is it?," and "Why did you blow up my boat?" None of these has a "yes" or "no" answer; indeed, each admits a very large range of possible correct answers.
"Have a seat." "I have to go back to work." "And I have a meeting at two. The sooner we work this out, the sooner we can both get back to business. Now, sit down." "What do you think we're going to work out?" Sighing, he scooped me up like a bride and carried me over to the sofa. He dropped me on my butt; then sat next to me. "Your objections. It's time to discuss what it's going to take to get you beneath me." "A miracle." I pushed back from him, widening the space between us. I tugged at the hem of my emerald green skirt, wishing I'd worn pants instead. "I find your approach crude and offensive." And a major turn-on, but I was never going to admit it. He contemplated me with narrowed eyes. "It may be blunt, but it's honest. You don't strike me as the kind of woman who wants bullshit and flattery instead of the truth." "What I want is to be seen as having more to offer than an inflatable sex doll."
