Hello ladies and gentelmans Today I'm going to talk about how global warming will change the way we live in future. In fact durning the twentieth century global temperature went up by over 0,7 Celsius degree. It looks pretty small number but even slight Climate change leads to serious consequences. Firstly, global warming will cause that glaciers start to melt. And as a result, the water level will raise and cities and villages which are located near oceans and sees will be flooded. Secondly, if we don't stop global warming, we will bserve more examples of extreme weather such as heat waves, storm clouds, which
31.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. The term Halloweenis shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", which is now also known as All Saints' Day. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several parts of the Western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia and New Zealand. The symbols are pumpkin, mythical monsters, black cats, scarecrows. Before you can enjoy Halloween you must do a lot of preparations. Like making the holiday decoration. You must also have candy for the trick-or-treaters. That is if you don`t want to find eggs on your house

Television is little more than a waste of time There is no doubt that the emergence of television is one of the most revolutionary events in the twentieth century. Almost everyone has a TV at home and watches it every day. Nowadays, people consider watching television as a sign of lazyness or boredom. I think that television has also some good sides and it is a little more than a waste of time. First of all, I think that TV is mainly a source of information. It allows people to get different kinds of information in an easy way. People can reach information in different languages and about different things just by clicking the remote control
6.This detailed astronaut photograph depicts the summit caldera of the volcano. The huge caldera is 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) in diameter and 1,100 meters (3,609 feet) deep. It formed when Tambora's estimated 4,000-meter- (13,123-foot) high peak was removed, and the magma chamber below emptied during the April 10 eruption. Today the crater floor is occupied by an ephemeral freshwater lake, recent sedimentary deposits, and minor lava flows and domes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Layered tephra deposits are visible along the northwestern crater rim. Active fumaroles, or steam vents, still exist in the caldera.

Universal Pictures alustas kümnendit filmiga ,,Läänerindel muutusteta" (1930) ja rajas endale õudusfilmistuudio maine, tootes kõik esimesed klassikaks saanud teosed sh ,,Frankenstein" (1931) ja ,,Dracula" (1931). RKO, mis sündis helifilmi tulekuga, tootis Fred Astaire´i ja Ginger Rogersiga üheksa sikki muusikali, ning Kathrine Hepburni esimesed filmid. Teedrajavaks hitiks sai aga 1933. aastal vändatud ,,King Kong". Twentieth Century Fox oli peamiste Hollywoodi stuudiote hulgas hiline tulija. Stuudio moodustati 1935. aastal, kui ühendati kaks firmat: Twentieth Century Pictures ja Fox Film Corporation. Firmale loodi meeldejääv logo, kuid firma ise alustas alles 40ndatel aastatel. Warner Bros. hakkas tegema gangsterifilme, milles mängisid näiteks James Cagney, George Raft, Bette Davis jt. Warneri muusikalid olid julgemad kui teiste stuudiote omad

Although there were once millions of bison roaming the North American grasslands, wholesale slaughter by the early European settlers brought them almost to extinction by the beginning of the twentieth century. Since then, due largely to the efforts of the American Bison Society, herds have steadily been built up in reserves, where they live in a semiwild state, and it is estimated that there are now some 20,000 animals. 11.

It is necessary to distinguish between: a) Planning, meaning simply the intervention of the Government in a particulat industry at a time when the greater part of the economy still remains in private hands, and b) Planning which results in the general supersession of individual enterprise as the source of economic decisions. Summary The issue of planning prompted some of the fiercest debate in mid-twentieth century economics. Politics of Economic Planning collects together a number of papers from journals and contributed books that examine the problems of economic planning in a free society.

and at weekends in winter. HISTORY OF SANDRINGHAM'S HOUSE Although a Royal residence for only 150 years, Sandringham abounds in history. It has seen the deaths of two monarchs; suffered its share of wartime tragedy; and been the venue for the first ever Christmas Broadcast. The story began in 1862. Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, was looking for a country home for his eldest son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, before his twentieth birthday. The idea was to find a healthy retreat for his young son, away from the distractions of the city. Before a decision had been reached, the Prince Consort died suddenly of typhoid in December 1861. It was left up to his eldest son to conclude the house-hunt. After paying a visit to Sandringham on 3 February 1862, the Prince of Wales was impressed enough to have decided by the end of the day that he wanted to buy the house. For the house and furnishings, the Prince paid £220,000.

In the early years of the twentieth century, the playwright and social commentator George Bernard Shaw remarked that an Englishman only had to open his mouth to make some other Englishman despise him. What was he talking about? Would he say the same thing today? 8. In the 1930s people in middle-class neighbourhoods often reacted angrily to the building of housing estates for the working class nearby. In one area they even built a wall to separate the two neighbourhoods! This could never happen today. Why not

Rohkem kui 60% ameeriklastest nägi vähemalt ühte filmi nädalas, ja nädalane vaatajate hulk oli kusagil 60-75 miljonit. Siiski vaatajaid kaotati majanduskriisi kõrgpunktis ja alles 1934.aastal filmitööstus taaselustus. Filmid pakkusid rohkem kui põgenemist depressioonist, need säilitasid ameerika kultuuri traditsioonilised aspektid.6 Raske aeg andis eelised suurtele filmikompaniidele ning 1930-ndaid iseloomustab nii öelda suure viisiku (Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, RKO, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros.) domineerimine.

Nixon had won or that the debates were a draw. Nixon did not wear make-up during the initial debate, unlike Kennedy. The debates are now considered a milestone in American political history--the point at which the medium of television began to play a dominant role in national politics. After the first debate Kennedy's campaign gained momentum and he pulled slightly ahead of Nixon in most polls. On Tuesday, November 8, Kennedy defeated Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections of the twentieth century. In the national popular vote Kennedy led Nixon by just two-tenths of one percent (49.7% to 49.5%), while in the Electoral College he won 303 votes to Nixon's 219 (269 were needed to win). Another 14 electors from Mississippi and Alabama refused to support Kennedy because of his support for the civil rights movement; they voted for Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr. of Virginia. Vietnam

rather than a meagre few. According to this theory of evolution descendants could one day attain the heights Europeans had already scaled. The Lamarckian evolution had only one crucial defect, it was entirely untrue. One could cut off a rat's tail, but its offspring would have normal tails. The rules of genetics were not known in Lamarck's day, and were not known until long after Darwin's, when the pioneering work of Mendel was rediscovered at the turn of the twentieth century. But animal breeders had long since discovered certain principles of breeding for desired characteristics, and acquired characteristics played no part in this process. Only through proper training could one find out if a hunting dog had favourable qualities. But the training did not create those characteristics in the dog's offspring. Lamarckianism was now discredited, and the question of evolution remained a mystery. Many scientists rejected evolution

On January 16, 1862, after an explosion of natural gas Canada's first oil gusher came into production, shooting into the air at a recorded rate of 3,000 barrels per day. By the end of the 19th century the Russian Empire, particularly the Branobel company in Azerbaijan, had taken the lead in production. Access to oil was and still is a major factor in several military conflicts of the twentieth century, including World War II, during which oil facilities were a major strategic asset and were extensively bombed. Operation Barbarossa included the goal to capture the Baku oilfields, as it would provide much needed oil-supplies for the German military which was suffering from blockades. Oil exploration in North America during the early 20th century later led to the U.S. becoming the leading producer by mid-century. As petroleum production in the U.S
It ended the first Polish-Swedish war. German nobles--the Baltic barons--kept their sway over the Estonian peasantry until the eve of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Industrialization proceeded during the 19th century. The republic became heavily interlaced with railroads, and the port of Tallinn grew in importance. Russification took place and it caused rebellion and considerable emigration mostly to the United States and Canada. The Twentieth Century Estonian proclamation of independence in February 1918 was followed shortly by German occupation. After Germany surrendered to the Allies in November 1918, Estonia declared itself an independent democratic republic and repulsed the invading Red Army. In 1920, by the Peace of Tartu, Soviet Russia recognized Estonia's independence. Political parties were abolished in 1934, and President Konstantin Päts instituted an authoritarian regime(reziim)
interior design. May use color brightness balance and contrast between surface colors to improve visual aesthetics. The structure would usually have industrial and space age style utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etc.), neat and straight components (like walls or stairs) that appear to be machined with machines, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative spaces, and large windows to let in lots of sunlight. This and science fiction may have contributed to the late twentieth century futuristic architecture design, and modern home decor. Modern minimalist home architecture with its unnecessary internal walls removed may have led to the popularity of the open plan kitchen and living room style. Another modern master who exemplifies reductivist ideas is Luis Barragán. In minimalism, the architectural designers pay special attention to the connection between perfect planes, elegant
Russians still remains. (Finland: Insight compact guides) Population Finland currently numbers 5,302,778 inhabitants and has an average population density of 17 inhabitants per square kilometre. This makes it, after Norway and Iceland, the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Finland's population has always been concentrated in the southern parts of the country, which is even more pronounced after twentieth-century urbanisation. The biggest and most important cities in Finland are the cities of the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area - Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo and Kauniainen - some of the other big cities include Tampere, Turku and Oulu. The share of immigrants in Finland is among the lowest of the European Union countries. Foreign citizens comprise 2.3 percent of the population. Most of them are from Russia, Estonia and Sweden.(www.wikipedia.org)
War. A decade later, following a series of major political developments, particularly after the Iranian Revolution and the seizure of embassy staff in the 197981 Iran hostage crisis, President Jimmy Carter ordered a review of American policy toward Iraq. During the Iran-Iraq War The IranIraq War was a war between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran lasting from September 1980 to August 1988, making it the longest conventional war of the twentieth century. The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980. In 1982 with Iranian success on the battlefield, the U.S started to support Iraq publicly. This support included several billion dollars worth of economic aid, the sale of dual-use technology, non-U.S. origin weaponry, military intelligence, Special Operations training, and direct involvement in warfare against Iran. In 1982, Iraq was removed from a list of State Sponsors of Terrorism to ease the transfer of dual-use
[3, p.35] The nineteenth century saw a massive increase in American immigration, as people fled the results of revolution, poverty, and famine in Europe. Large numbers of Irish came following the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s. Germans and Italians came, escaping the consequences of the failed 1848 revolutions. And, as the century wore on, there were increasing numbers of Central European Jews, especially fleeing from the pogroms of the 1880s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, immigrants were entering the USA at an average of three-quarters of a million a year. In 1900, the population was just over 75 million. This total had doubled by 1950. [3, p.35] Within one or two generations of arrival, most of these immigrant families had come to speak English, through a natural process of assimilation. Grandparents and grandchildren found themselves living in very different linguistic worlds. The result was a massive growth in mother-tongue use of English

ebaühtlane jaotamine. ,,Titanicu" hukku hakati kujutama erinevates raamatutes väga erinevalt. Kus on suitsu, seal ka tuld. Tragöödia kohta ilmusid ka filmid. Umbes aasta pärast laeva hukku ilmus esimene seda tragöödiat kajastav tummfilm. Järgmine film ilmus küll alles 30 aastat hiljem, sedapuhku siis Saksamaal 1943. aastal. Film oli 1,3 tunni pikkune. Umbes aasta hiljem 5. detsembril 1944, ilmus järgmine ,,Titanicu" film. 1953. aastal tõi järgmise ,,Titanicu" filmi vaatajateni Twentieth Century Fox. Selle filmi tarbeks valmis ehitatud laeva mudel on tänini Massachusettsis Fall Riveri meremuuseumis. 1955. aastal kirjutas mees nimega Walter Scott oma raamatu: ,,Mälestusväärne öö". Kirjastaja oli soovitanud tal pealkirjas nime ,,Titanic" mitte kasutada, kuna see pidi õnnetust tooma. Sellest raamatust kujunes tõeline bestseller. 1958. aastal valmis sellest bestsellerist ka film. Järgmise filmi valmimine oli 1979. aasta. Film kandis seekord pealkirja: ,,SOS
When deep water waves travel towards the coastline, their wavelength and velocity decrease in shallow water. As soon as the velocity drops below a certain level the wave breaks. The resulting breaking waves contains turbulence, which cause dissipation of the kinetic energy. Usually breaking waves can easily be recognized by their foamy whitecaps. Near to the coast the seabed starts to have an influence on the velocities of waves. Water is considered to be shallow, if its depth is shorter than a twentieth of the wavelength. l d< 20 For the velocity of shallow water waves: m v= g*d Ø v ~ 3* d @vD = s The velocity of shallow water waves only depends on the depth of water. 8 Decrease of wave velocity in shallow water wave velocity @mêsD

He is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the twenties. He finished four novels, including The Great Gatsby, with another published posthumously, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age.

difficult on-set behavior. Soon, however, Wilder's attitude softened, and he hailed her as a great comedienne. Some Like It Hot is consistently rated as one of the best films ever made.[30] Monroe's performance earned her a Golden Globe for best actress in musical or comedy. After Some Like It Hot, Monroe shot Let's Make Love directed by George Cukor and co-starring Yves Montand. Monroe was forced to shoot the picture because of her obligations to Twentieth Century-Fox. While the film was not a commercial or critical success, it included one of Monroe's legendary musical numbers, Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy". Arthur Miller wrote what became her and her co-star Clark Gable's last completed film, The Misfits. The exhausting shoot took place in the hot Nevada desert. Monroe, Gable and Montgomery Clift delivered performances that are considered excellent by contemporary movie critics.[31] Tabloid
Still others may have crossed the ice fields that once connected Europe and North America. The Inuit, who live in the high Arctic, were probably the last to arrive. 4. How were the terms `Métis' and `half-breed' traditionally used? Métis French-speaking and Catholic. Half-breed English-speaking and Protestant. Half-breed is a term used almost exclusively by the federal government throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Race served to distinguish between populations or groups when describing an individual who was of mixed ethnicity or "blood." The term has historically been used to identify people that are now often called `Métis' in Canada. Many people back then considered the `half-breed' to be a degenerate, inferior sort of human. Some of this is related to racial theories of the 19th century that believed each `race' had a distinct origin, and that
modes, for example, starting with mail, switching to telephone, and finishing up with face-to-face interviews. In addition, some surveys are quite simple and inexpensive to do, such as a mail survey of members of a small professional association. Others are incredibly complex, such as a survey of the general public across all countries of the European Union in which the same questions need to be answered in multiple languages by people of all educational levels. In the mid-twentieth century there was a remarkable similarity of survey procedures and methods. Most surveys of significance were done by face-toface interviews in most countries in the world. Self-administered paper surveys, usually done by mail, were the only alternative. Yet, by the 1980s the telephone had replaced face-to-face interviews as the dominate survey mode in the United States, and in the next decade telephone surveys became the major data collection method in many countries
[1] All of the six original redbrick institutions, or their predecessor institutes, gained university status before World War I and were initially established as civic science or engineering colleges.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Plate-glass universities = campus universities The term plate glass university (or plateglass university or plate-glass university) refers to a group of universities established or expanded in the United Kingdom during the mid-twentieth century. In 1963, the Robbins Report on higher education recommended a major expansion of the British university system, which was realised through the establishment of nine completely new universities and the conversion of the ten existing Colleges of Advanced Technology into full universities. Keele University was established in 1949 but has a similar history and is usually considered part of this group as well. While the Robbins Report was responsible for the broader
