Kes kontrollib ilma kontrollib ka maailma. See oli juba kolmas USA teadlaste poolt esile kutsutud torm peale Kolmanda Maailmasõja algust. See torm ründas kohutavate tsunaamide ja keeristormidena Venemaa idarannikul asuvaid linnu. Ühendriigid kavatsesid seda strateegiaat jätkata kuni Venemaa täielikult alistub. Samamoodi ähvardasid nad ka Hiinat ilma jätta nende mussoonvihmadest ka seda kavatsesid nad teha oma uue leiutise abil, mis oli algselt mõeldudpäästmaks tuhandeid inimelusi, suunates eemale ka kõige tugevamad keeristormid. Ilma vihmata, põuas ja toidupuuduses alistuks Hiina ilmselt kiiresti. Kõik see algas pärast seda, kui see hull vabariiklane Ammerika Ühendriikides võimule sai ja Vene ning Hiina riigipäid solvama kukkus. Venemaa, kes muidugi selliseid provokatsioone ei talunud, saatis pärast aastat solvangute talumist oma kõige osavamad palgamõrtsukad USA riigipea kallal. Kolm...
Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) a Brief Biography Sometimes called the father of modern science fiction, H.G. Wells was born on September 21, 1866 in Bromley, Kent, England. His father, a professional cricket player and shopkeeper, and his mother, a former lady's maid, raised Wells with the idea that he would find a place in the work world that they were accustomed. He aspired to a different place in society. When he was thirteen, he left school to become a draper's apprentice, a job his family expected would be proper for a boy of his station. The work repelled him, however. He worked briefly in a drugstore, returned for a stint as a draper's assistant, then finally found a job as a teacher's assistant in a grammar school. Education and academia suited him well. In 1884 he entered college with a scholarship to study biology. He was able to study under one of the great biology teachers of the time, Thomas Henry Huxley, and Wells gradu...

indefinitely, how will that change the dynamics of society and culture? A typical person living to 80 years of age goes through several dramatic changes in his lifetime: his opinions and attitudes change, his interests, his friends, his career, sometimes even how he remembers the past. Imagine how much change would take place in a thousand years of life! We wouldn’t be a shadow of the persons we once were. The idea of living forever remains locked to science-fiction. I believe there are many different aspects to take into consideration . Secondly let’s have a look at the advantages. I think that one key benefit to being around forever would be the experience gained during this eternity. Anything and everything on our list of "to-do" could be completed - whether that would be traveling to far-off destinations and around the world, experiencing exotic tastefull foods or sleeping 20 hours a day.

A book review The book I read was „As above so below”. It was written by Peter Brugel in 2002. The book covers basically all of the generes: horror, historical, science-fiction, and romance. The bookis about six people in Paris, France in the 16th century. The two main characters know eachother. Their main reason was to get to the chatocombs so they would find the phylosofers stone and to get there they need people who know the place around. So they stumbled across three more people who would help them to get there. But the chatacombs has a paranormal power and some of the characters unfortunately die. The names of the main characters are Scarlet and George. Scarlet

22 Myers, Kitsuse 2000 Constracting the Future in Planning Planning’s broad relevance and its interdisciplinary inclusiveness have served as both a strength and a vulnerability. One emphasis that has been identified as central to the intellectual and professional identity or mission of planning is “foresight” (Markusen 1998), “a focus on the future and pathways of change over time” (Strategic Marketing Committee of ACSP 1997), or “persuasive storytelling about the future” A Surprising Neglect (hüljatud). “....planning has lost sight of the future....Planning voluntarily is sacrificing its role as visionary and idealist and is abandoning its responsibility to be a source of inspiration and ideas about what might be and what ought to be”. In planning practice, the recent surge of interest in visioning exercises has raised awareness of planners’ role in shaping the future, in some cases 3 bri...
This is something that has had me in two minds for a very long time, why does humanity waste so much time and money on sport and the pursuit of sport when realistically it is just a sideshow, a morale booster for the masses? The sheer volume of money spent each year on sports are actually absolutely ridiculous. Sports have become a monster that is beyond our control. This happens as legitimate scientific research struggles to find funding or a struggle along with tiny handouts from patronising governments around the world. Space exploration is probably the prime example in that it is now, at this stage of human development, more important than ever before that we find ways to make space inhabitable. But instead NASA has become a bit of a joke to the public and space exploration the stuff of B- grade horror movies. The question we have to ask ourselves is this, do sports stars really deserve to be paid five times the salary of a scientis...

Jean Paul Vinay ja Jean Darbelnet ,,Tõlkimise metoodika" Resümee Tõlkimisel on võimalik kasutada mitmeid meetodeid ja neid ka omavahel kombineerida. Eri meetodite ja protseduuride arvu saab lühendada seitsmeni, milles iga üks vastab kõrgemale keerukusastmele ning on rakendatavad sõnavarale, lausestruktuurile ja sõnumile. Lisaks meetodite valikule, on oluline vahet teha kohustuslikel ja vabadel muudatustel. Eristatakse kahte tõlkimismeetodit: otsest ja kaudset. Mõnedes tõlkeülesannetes võib olla võimalik transponeerida lähtekeele sõnum element elemendi haaval sihtkeelde, sest see baseerub kas paralleelsetel kategooriatel (struktuuriparalellismid) või paralleelsetel mõistetel, mis on metakeeleliste paralleelsuste tulemuseks.

Libraries. We know a lot of things thanks to books, but we do not know exactly when and where they originated, and what should be considered the first book in the world. Ancient document, written on parchment, papyri and vellum can hardly be qualified as books the way we understand the word today. Centuries went before paper replaced parchment and papyri. In the 15 th century Johann Gutenberg invented a mechanical process of duplicating texts, which we today call book printing. The first book was printed between 1444 and 1446, so these years can be considered as the beginning years of book printing. His most important preserved printings are the 40 copies of the Bible. By the end of the 15 th century there were about 1000 print-shops in Europe already. The oldest Estonian book dates back to 1535. Libraries form a vital part of education. They make available-through books, f...
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning of the 8th century. It has no ...

1. STYLE The term "style" is polysemantic (has many meanings): a Latin word "stilus" originally meant a writing instrument used by ancient people. Already in classical Latin the meaning was extended to denote the manner of expressing one's ideas in written or oral form. Jonathan Swift defined style as "proper words in proper places". In present day English the word "style" is used in about a dozen of principle meanings: 1. the characteristic manner in which a writer expresses his/her ideas (e.g. style of Byron) 2. the manner of expressing ideas, characteristic of a literary movement or period 3. the use of language typical of a literary genre (e.g. the style of a comedy, drama, novel). 4. the selective use of language that depends on spheres / areas of human activity (e.g. style of fiction, scientific prose, newspapers, business correspondence, etc.). STYLISTICS Stylistics is the study of s...
