Estonia's economy was one of the fastest growing economies in the world until 2006 with growth rates exceeding 10% annually. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) grew 8% in 2007 alone. In the first quarter of 2008, however, GDP grew only 0.1%. Estonia is nearly energy independent, producing 90% of its electricity needs with locally mined oil shale. Oil shale energy along with electronics, banking and IT solutions are some of the key sectors of the economy. The flag of Estonia is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue, black and white in the downwards order.

Historically, the fortress on Toompea consisted of two parts : the small fortress (today's Toompea Castle) and the big fortress (The rest of Toompea). Pikk Hermann is the best-known corner tower among the three surviving ones of Toompea Castle. It is 46 metres high and serves as one of Estonia's landmarks. Tall Hermann was a traditional name given to the main towers of German castles. After the 50-year long Soviet occupation, the Estonian blue-black-white tricolour was once again hoisted on Pikk Hermann on 24 February 1989. The Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin (Toomkirik or the Dome Church) was consecrated as a single- nave church with a rectangular chancel in 1240, and rebuilt into a Gothic basilica thereafter. The church suffered in the fire of 1684 and was largely reconstructed. A baroque tower was added in the 18th century and the dated weather-vane (1779) crowning the spire is the only original one on Toompea today.
Rome. These banners were generally called `pallia' and like the previously mentioned cloak of Mohammed, they were originally garments. It is interesting to note that pallia were dedicated to St. Augustine (354-430), Charlemagne (742- 814), and William the Conqueror (1028-1087). The cloak of St. Martin was another garment that was turned into a flag, which later became a cult object of Frankish kings and even influenced the choice of blue as part of the modern French tricolour. Meanwhile the power that finally led to the creation of the Mongol Empire arose in Asia. Many of the Mongol standards displayed a device, a `flaming trident', reproducing the blades of a trident with flames surrounding them. The flag of the Khan himself consisted of nine yak-tails hanging from a rack of crossbars. After the conquest of China lateral flags were used, still with the horsetail and the flaming trident. The
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PIEBALD The diagram above shows a typical progression from solid colour through to solid white. The number by each diagram is the "Grade" of spotting from Grade 0 (no spotting) through to Grade 10 (white spotting has obscured all of the base colour). The "solid colour" can be one of the true solid colours e.g. black or grey, or a tabby colour or tortoiseshell (the bicolour is then known as a calico and is actually a tricolour). Non-pedigree cats have a diverse range of combinations not recognised in the pedigree world - the "solid" area can be Abyssinian ticked (Aby-and-white), smoke, shaded or tipped. Black-smoke-and white is an attractive combination if not actually encouraged! The Van pattern seen in pedigree Turkish Van cats and in the Seychellois (a Van-patterned Oriental) is Grade 8 - Grade 9 Piebald and represents the most extreme of the 'Seychelles' patterns
möödas, kuid siiski peavad paljud just seda tõugu koerte maailma ilusamaks ja väärikamaks esindajaks. Kuid veel eelmisel aastal( 2003) oli ta veel kõige arvukaim koer näitustel. Pikakarvalisel kollil on uhke kohev karvkate, lühikarvalisel lühike ja liibuv. Kuid poolpüstised kõrvad ei tule iseenesest, need tuleb kutsikaeas alla panna spetsiaalse vahendiga või küsida nõu koerakasvatajalt. Pika- ja lühikarvalisi kollisid on kolme värvi: blue merle, tricolour ja soobel valgega. Kõigi nende ideaal turja kõrguseks on emasel 51-56 cm ja isastel 56-61 cm. Nende pea kuju on tõu aadliseisuse tunnus. Kui mõelda kollile, siis kindlasti mõnedele inimestele tuleb kohe meelde pikk nina. Tegelikult on neil pealagi koonuga samapikk, aga nad kulgevad paralleelselt, kuid üleminek koonule on märgatav. Kollide silmad on südamliku ilmega. Nad on keskmise suurusega, mandlikujulised ja lähestikku. Kõigil kollidel on väikesed poolpüstised kõrvad
