Rock’n’roll Koostanud Rodny Reeder ja Rasmus Rohumets Rockmuusika sünd Rock-muusika sünniajaks loetakse 1954.aastat, mil Bill Haley koos oma bändiga The Comets plaadistas loo “Rock Around the Clock”. Rock’n’rolli eelkäijad on country and western ja mustanahaliste kultuurist rhythm ja blues. Järgmiseks aastaks oli sellest kujunenud esimene just noortele mõeldud poplaul. Sellest ajast alates hakati rock- muusikat adresseerima noortele ja kooliealistele. Rockmuusika sünd Rock-muusika sünnil oli mitmesuguseid eeldusi. Charlie Christianil tuli mõte asetada oma kitarri külge väike mikrofon, et tema mängu oleks paremini kuulda, kui ennem. Peale seda ehitas Les Paul õõnsa kõlakastita täispuidust elektrikitarri, sellise nagu need ka praegu on. Rock-muusika sündimisele aitas kaasa ka Teine maailmasõda.

Folk-ja kantrimuusika Tallinn 2008 1 Folk- ja kantrimuusikat saab rock'i hulka liigitada vaid tinglikult. Need suunad on välja arenenud iseseisvalt ja tunduvalt varem, kui rock'n'roll esmakordselt läbi lõi. 60.aastatest alates leidus üha rohkem folk- ja kantrimuusikuid, kes hakkasid kasutama rock'i elemente ning tekkisid mõisted folk-rock ja kantri-rock. Kantrimuusika juuredon kaugel minevikus. Kantri ehk country and western on saanud alguse USA lääneosa kauboilauludest ning ka inglise, soti ja iiri uusasukate folkloorist. 20.sajandil kujunes kantrimuusika keskuseks Nashville. Seal paikneb sadade kaupa heliplaadistuudioid, -firmasid ja kirjastusi, mis tegelevad ainult selle muusikastiiliga. Kantrimuusika populaarsuse põhjuseks on tema lihtsus, meloodilisus ja maalähedus, mille tõttu võtab publik laulu kergesti omaks. Samuti ka esinejad üritavad jätta muljet nagu oleksid nad ühed tavalised mehed. Üheks mõjukamaks l...

Edinburgh Castle is an ancient stronghold which dominates the sky-line of the city of Edinburgh from its position atop Castle Rock. It is Scotland's second most visited tourist attraction. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC.

The total land area is 270,535 sq Km, about the size of Italy, the United Kingdom or the US state of Colorado. North Island is volcanically active with three active volcanoes. South Island has the high snow covered mountain peaks and glaciers of the Southern Alps, a range running almost 500Km along the Island. The longest river is the Waikato on North Island (425 Km), the largest inland stretch of water is Lake Taupo also on North Island (607 sq Km) and the highest point is Mount Cook on South Island (3754 m). Over 75% of New Zealand is above 200m. Land use is broken down to about: forested 30% - meadows and pastures...

The United States of America (The U.S.A) Geography The main part of the United states extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It covers the middle of the North American continent. This area is called ,,the continental United states". The continental United States is bounded to the North by Canada and to the South by Mexico. The border with Canada is often called ,,the longest unguarded border in the world". The United States and Canada are good friends and they have very few problems in managing the border. The borded with Mexico is different. Immigrants are constantly crossing the border illegally. Every day about 2,000 of them are captured and sent back, but may others get through. There are also two states that are not connected to the continental United States. They are Alaska and Hawaii. There are two mountain ranges in ...
Introduction Estonia, officially the Republic of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti or Eesti Vabariik) is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden across the Baltic Sea, to the south by Latvia (343 km), and to the east by the Russian Federation (338,6 km). The territory of Estonia covers 45,227 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. The Estonians are a Finnic people closely related to the Finns, with the Estonian language sharing many similarities to Finnish. The modern name of Estonia is thought to originate from the Roman historian Tacitus, who in his book Germania (ca. AD 98) described a people called the Aestii. Similarly, ancient Scandinavian sagas refer to a land called Eistland, close to the German term Estland for the country. Early Latin and other ancient versions of the name are Estia and Hestia. Until the late 1930s, the ...

Tallinn 2013 Ott Speek Subject: English Geodesy Study group: GI-21b PETROLEUM PRESENTATION Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek: Πέτρα (rock) + Latin: oleum (oil) is a naturally occurring flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds, that are found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's surface. The name Petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oils and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, it is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and undergo intense heat and pressure. Petroleum is recovered mostly through oil drilling. This comes after the studies of structural geology (at the reservoir scale), sedimentary basin analysis, reservoir characterization (mainly in terms of porosity and perme...

CANADA Geography Canada is the world's second largest country in total area after Russia , since it covers nearly 10 million square kilometres, but is one of the most sparsely populated, with only about 34 million inhabitants. The majority of them live within 300 kilometres of Canada's southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairi...

See metsa kasvukohatüüp sisaldab madala tootlikkuse ja iseloomulikult suure või keskmise kuivusnõudlikkusega alustaimestikku, mis kasvab pae-, kruusa- , peenkruusa või klibukihil. This layer is close to surface, with thickness of soil up to 30 centimetres. See rinne on maapinnale lähemal, mullatüsedus on kuni 30 sentimeetrit. Alvar forests grow mainly in western Estonia (also on the islands) and to a lesser extent in Northern Estonia. Loopealsed metsad kasvavad peamiselt Lääne-Eestis (samuti saartel) ning vähemal määral P...

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...
