On November 9th, 1620, the `Mayflower' sighted what is now Cape Cod. Despite seeing land, the crew of the `Mayflower' searched for another month to find somewhere to land. Where they eventually landed was called New Plymouth. On December 25th, after finding a place where the `Mayflower' could be safely anchored, the Pilgrim Fathers began to build the first house for common use. By February 1621, 50% of the Pilgrim Fathers had died as a result of the cold weather and the inadequate housing that they had built for themselves. A Native American called Squanto helped those Pilgrim Fathers who survived the harsh winter. He showed them how to sow maize and how to cultivate the crop. Seeds brought from England were of little use in their new environment. By the summer of 1621, the Pilgrim Fathers had built houses for themselves and had gathered up a small harvest. They were well recovered in health and strength, and had all things in good plen...

27 Suur-Aia St. 72711 Paide Estonia 5 December 2010 8 All Saints St., Mayflower, London N1 9RL UK Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to complain about a faulty CD-walkman and your shop assistant's unprofessional behaviour. In the first place, I am not happy with my new CD-walkman. It played only on a steady surface. It also played the first three songs only and then started from the beginning. In addition to that, when I returned to the shop for help the shop assistant was very arrogant and did not provide me any help at all. I would, therefore, like you to return my money or replace my CD-walkman i...
Mayflower 8 All Saints Street London N1 9RL Dear Sir or Madam I would like to complain about a new CD-walkman I bought from your store two weeks ago. The CD-walkman I bought was completely faulty. I am very active person who travels a lot and mostly I like to listen to music while I am walking, but the walkman is played only on a steady surface however, it should be played in every position. In addition to that, it plays only the first three songs and then starts from the beginning. To make matters worse, when I returned to your store to take it back, the shop assistant was neither friendly nor helpful. I am very disappointed. I will not be visiting your store again. As manager you should guard against such appalling treatment of your costumers in future to keep them visiting your store. However, if it is not possible, the shop assistant should be fired. Yours faithfully,
Notions for The New World Native Americans Origin of Native Americans Nearly one-third of Native American genes come from west Eurasian people linked to the Middle East and Europe, rather than entirely from East Asians as previously thought, according to a newly sequenced genome.

Different tribes and their way of life The men were hunters, warriors, and protectors, while the women tended to the children, their homes, and farmed. It depended on the tribe when it came to artwork. In some tribes, the men would actually weave baskets and blankets. Natural foods were consumed and hunted. Deer, buffalo, fish, and various birds were the game of choice. Corn, beans, squash, berries, nuts, and melons were the fruits and vege...
Topic No. 4 Thanksgiving In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On this day Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners. The first American Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth. The Puritans from England came to America because they were unappreciated. They were called the Pilgrims. They came to America on a ship called Mayflower. September was the worst season of the year for sea crossing. After 65 days they landed at Cape Cod. The Pilgrims suffered a great deal during their first winter, because they were poorly equipped and poorly trained. One spring morning an Indian came and introduced him in a friendly way. The Indian chief offered assistance to the pilgrims and the Indians thought the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow food. ...

The United States of America. History. For thousands of years America was unknown to Europe. There lived only the native people, who had come from Siberia many thousand years ago by a land bridge. They had spread over the country, varying enormously from nomadic food gatherers to fishing societies. Then the Vikings visited Canada around AD 1000, but they did not stay. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered America while trying to reach India. He named the native people Indians, because he though he had reached India. He didn't stay either and in the sixteenth century the first Europeans to settle in America were the Spanish, the English and the French. The first village founded by the English settlers was in Virginia in 1607. It was called Jamestown. They didn't have good relations with the Indians and many of them died. But Pocahontas, the daughter of an Indian chief, became their friend and helped them....

Britain History Pre-Norman Britain The Iberians brought their metal-working skills and the first real civilization to Britain in the third millennium B.C and were overrun by various Celtic invasions that began in the 8th century. The Celts introduced their tribal organization and an early form of agriculture before they were forced westward by the Roman invasion. Forms of Celtic language are still spoken in Britain. Romans (with Julius Caesar in the head of them) first tried to occupy Britain in 55 B.C., but there was a rebellion in Gaul so they had to leave to fight against it. Next time they came in 43 A.D. and their leader was Emperor Claudius. Romans brought a lot with them. Their brought paved roads, the sites of important cities, the seeds of Christianity, the Roman law, Roman baths, language and advanced civilization. They also built Hadrian's Wall in 122 A.D.

1) INDIAN ROCK ART: A NATIONAL TREASURE IN DANGER Unrecognized, unprotected, this priceless legacy of primitive art has endured the ravages of nature only to fall victim to wanton destruction by ,,civilized" man. Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges. Nowadays, however, primitive rock art in the United States has become a new field of scientific study. Klaus F Wellmann wrote two books about rock art. He is a professor of medicine. Rock art represents the history of aboriginal Americans. In the most cases the art is an expression of ideas and way of life, ritual ceremonies, hunting, fighting. The pictures of people and animals are often strikingly lifelike and artistic. Many of these ancient relics have ...
JAZZMUUSIKA AJALUGU Table of Contents 1 EESSÕNA See või teine muusik, keda me käsitleme on oma arengus teatud punktis. Tegelikult pole aga inimese elu mitte punkt vaid joon, punktide jada. Kuid korraga on haaratav vaid üks punkt mingi mängu viis või konkreetne grupp, kuhu muusik kuulub. Alati on tahetud muusikuid nii nende endi kui ka kriitikute poolt kuhugi liigitada. Kuid kindel muusik ei pruugi oma eluaja jooksul jääda vaid ühte gruppi või stiili. Toogem näiteks topetist Miles Davis'e, kes alustas bebop'iga ja lõpetas fusion`i ning hip-hop`iga. Enne surma küsiti temalt, et mida te veel tahaksite teha, siis olevat hr. Davis vastanud, et sooviks hakata DJ'ks. Ükski muusika stiil ei ole muusikuid endid kammitsenud ega kinni hoidnud. Eksisteerinud on pigem nende barjääride lõhkumine. Bebop'I kuningas ja nõ selle looja alt-saksofonist Charlie Parker ei arvanud, et bebop on see õige sõna iseloomustamas seda, mid...
Some of the things you will learn in THE CODEBREAKERS • How secret Japanese messages were decoded in Washington hours before Pearl Harbor. • How German codebreakers helped usher in the Russian Revolution. • How John F.

Kiilkirja õigus ja Hammurapi koodeks KIILKIRJAÕIGUS 1. Kiilkirjaõiguse üldiseloomustus Kiilkiri oli kirjaviisina käibel IV aastatuhande teisest poolest eKR kuni meie ajaarvamise alguseni. Esimene oluline arheoloogiline kiilkirjaseaduste leid oli Babüloonia kuninga Hammurapi (valitses 1792-1250) seadusesammas, millesse on kaeverdatud Hammurapi koodeks koos proloogi ja epiloogiga. Hammurapi koodeksile järgnesid ka teised kiilkirjaseadustike leiud ja nende publikatsioonid. Mesopotaamia kuningad tahtsid tõestada, et nad on ,,õiglased" ning kujundasid järjepidevalt ümber oma eelkäijate õiguslikke korraldusi või kehtestasid uusi koodeksi kujul. Igapäevast elu reguleerivad seadused eksisteerisid iseseisvalt ka väljaspool kirjapandud kuninglikke koodekseid, st et iga kuningas ei loonud uut õiguskorda. Vanim teadaolev koodeks on Uri linna kuninga Ur-Nammu(2112-2095 eKr) seadusekogu. Vanim t...
