The History Of Flag Day The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America's birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'. On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a Fla...

Adriaen Thomasz Key oli flaami renessansiaja juhtiva portreemaalija Willem Key kauge sugulane ja �pilane. Eriti tema 1570ndate aastate t��d on silmapaistvalt sarnased �petaja omadega. Olgugi et Key tegi mitmele Antwerpeni kirikule altari- maale, sealhulgas ka frantsiskaani kiriku peaaltarile, imetletakse teda eelk�ige kui v�imekat ja t�etruud portretisti. P�rast Antwerpeni h�vitamist hispaanlaste poolt 1576. aastal j�i kalvinistist Key siiski oma kodulinna, kuigi paljud protestandid p�genesid p�hja poole. Juba eluajal pidi Key olema v�ga austatud kunstnik, kuna ta maalis mitmeid portreesid Oranje prints Williamist, Madalmaade iseseisvusv�itluse juhist Hispaania v�imu ajal. Key hilisemad portreed, mis kujutavad peamiselt Antwerpeni kodanikke, panevad suuremat r�hku poseeri- jate staatusele, olles ilmselt m�jutatud Antonis Morist. Tema chiaroscuro-puul�iked viitavad Flaami itaaliap�rase kunstniku Frans Florise eeskujule. Adriaen Thomasz ...
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/health/re search/27eye.html? pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=technology A Burst of Technology, Helping the Blind to See Blindness first began creeping up on Barbara Campbell when she was a teenager, and by her late 30s, her eye disease had stolen what was left of her sight. Reliant on a talking computer for reading and a cane for navigating New York City, where she lives and works, Ms. Campbell, now 56, would have been thrilled to see something. Anything. Now, as part of a striking experiment, she can. So far, she can detect burners on her stove when making a grilled cheese, her mirror frame, and whether her computer monitor is on. She is beginning an intensive three-year research project involving electrodes surgically implanted in her eye, a camera on the bridge of her nose and a video processor strapped to her waist. The project, involving patients in the United States, Mexico and Europe, is part...
COCA-COLA Have you ever come home from school, practice or whatever and felt soooo thirsty? So you walk towards the fridge and hope there's something cold to drink. You open the door of the fridge and start to smile, because you have seen a bottle of COCA-COLA!! Coca- Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines throughout the world. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company and is often known as Coke. The Coca-Cola Company has introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand name. The most famous of these are Coca-Cola Zero, Coca- Cola Light and Coca-Cola Cherry. Based on Interbrand's best global brand 2011, Coca-Cola was the world's most valuable brand. It was 1886, and in New York Harbour, workers were constructing the Statue of Liberty. But 800 miles away, in Atlanta, Georgia, another great American symbol was about to be come into being. When Coca-Cola was invented...
1,SANAA (Sejima And Nishizawa And Associates) — kuulus Jaapani arhitektuuribüroo. Asetseb Tokios. SANAA juhtideks on arhitektid Kazuyo Sejima ja Ryue Nishizawa. 2,SANAA asutati tuhande üheksasaja üheksakümne viiendal (1995) aastal Sejima ja Nishizawa poolt.. Kuni kahe tuhandenda (2000) aastani püstitas SANAA vaid mõne ehitise, kuid sellegi poolest ära arhitektuuri maailmas märgatavat huvi. 3-9,SANAA loob oma ehitised arhitektuurilise minimalismi stiilis. Enamjaolt kasutatakse betooni, teras, alumiiniumi konstruktsioone ja klaasi. Reeglina värviga midagi ei kaeta, mõnikord värvitakse üle, kuid ainult valge värviga. Sejima kirjeldab firma loomingulist suunda järgmiselt: „Me kontsentreerume essents, sest see on meie jaoks kõige tähtsam. Ruumi essents väljendub valges. Edasine lihtsustamine on võimatu, sest see teeks meie arhitektuuri läbipaistvaks ja nähtamatuks“. SANAA tööd vaadeldakse kui julget eksperimenti, mis on loodud erilise arhi...

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 ...
KUBISM Kubism on 20. sajandi kunstivool, mis hakkas kujunema Pariisis 1907. aastal Pablo Picasso ja Georges Braque'i töödes. Kubistide eelkäijaks oli Paul Cézanne. Mõiste "kubism" võttis kasutusele prantsuse kriitik Louis Vauxcelles ja see vihjab kuubist lähtuvale kujutamisele. Kriitik kirjeldas Braque'i töid 1908. aastal väljendiga bizarreries cubiques (kuubilised veidrused). Kubistide eesmärk oli vabastada teos jutustavast sisust ja kujutada asju (muusikainstrumendid, natüürmordid, maastikud jne) geomeetrilistena (kuup, silinder jne), tükeldatud pindadena või stereomeetrilistena (kujutada esemeid ühekorraga mitmest vaatevinklist). Algset kubismi, perioodi, mis algas 1909. aastal, nimetatakse analüütiliseks kubismiks. Seda perioodi iseloomustab motiivide (majad, puud ja natüürmordid) lahutamine justkui algosadeks (geomeetrilisteks kujunditeks) ning nendest uue pildi ülesehitamine. Teine, hilise...
