    A couple of years ago I wanted to become a biologist. I thought it was a very interesting profession. I was good at biology in school. But in the 9th form I have changed my mind: I already have wanted to be an economist. I think I have an aptitude for working with figures and solving mathematical problems. And now I'm going to be an economist. I know that the life of a person of this profession sometimes is very difficult. The success of this job depends on enterprise, knowledge and skills of a person. That's why after school I would like to enter to the State University-High Economics School. My parents are involved in this problem. My father is working with immovable property for about 10 years, my mother is working in a music school. I think my future profession is suitable for me, because I'm energetic, communicative and quick by nature. These personal characteristics will help me to succeed in my career, but I would like to develop some qualities of my character, such as diligence, patience and organizing. When you choosing a future career it's a good idea to take different factors into account. I think, my future career will satisfy me, will be well-paid.

    One of the most fashionable and prestigious professions of today is that of a computer operator. Although computers came into our life only in the 1960s they quickly gained the ground of the contemporary society having become its indispensable part. Today our life is entirely connected with computers. With the help of computers people can do a lot of wonderful things from controlling spaceship up to buying books and participating in virtual conferences. New programmes are needed all the time to meet the increasing demands of our time. The roots of computer science lie primarily in the related fields of electrical engineering and mathematics. Electrical engineering physics and mathematics became the source of the development of computers. Boolean algebra developed in the 19-th century made its contribution to the elaboration of different programmes. Computers began to be widely used 40 years ago. From the start they were used for computational support of scientific and engineering disciplines and for business needs. Mathematicians did a lot for the development of the computer science. The significance of Mathematics in the general system of human knowledge constantly rises. Modern mathematical ideas and methods are used for the control of spaceship flights, different branches of industry, and transport systems. Applied Mathematics is part of different arts and sciences, such as Physics, Biology, Medicine, and Linguistics.

    Группа заключила контракт с "CBS Records", на которой были подписаны и " Tremeloes". Весной 1970 года "Yellow river" была издана на сингле, на обратной стороне которого присутствовал трек от " Tremeloes". Пластинка махом взлетела на вершины хит-парадов многих стран мира, а в британских чартах провела 22 недели. К осени 1970 года у Джеффа был готов очередной хит, "San Bernadino". И хотя этот сингл добрался в Англии всего лишь до седьмой строчки, зато занял высшую позицию в Германии и во многих других европейских странах. Лишь в Америке спрос на песню оказался невелик, и она оказалась там в конце первой сотни. Зато с выходом дебютного альбома "Christie" ситуация поменялась, и за океаном он пользовался большей популярностью, чем у себя на родине. Содержавший два мега-хита и набор удачных поп-роковых композиций, диск задержался в штатовских чартах на 10 недель.

    In early 1998, after finishing some demos and shopping for a record deal, Christina auditioned to sing 'Reflection' for Disney's animated film 'Mulan.' The filmmakers needed someone 'who could hit a high E above middle C,' according to Christina, who then cut a one-take demo in her living room singing to a karaoke tape of Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Run To You.' The demo was rushed to Disney, and within a day, Christina was in a Los Angeles studio recording 'Reflection.' That same week, RCA Records signed her to a record contract. 'Mulan' premiered in June 1998, and 'Reflection' turned into a Top 15 A/C single, with Christina performing it live on 'CBS This Morning' and the 'Donnie & Marie Show.' 'Working on the 'Mulan' project was so unbelievable,' Christina said in June 1998. 'I seriously thought I wouldn't get the job because the song was so difficult. It's so cool to hear your voice in a theater.' The single went on to garner a Golden Globe Nomination for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture and Christina the attention of some of the best writers and producers in the industry.

    Giving presents goes back to Roman Saturnalia when good luck gifts of fruit, pastry or gold were given to friends on New Year's Day. In Britain the traditional day to give presents until relatively recently was December 26th and not as it is today, Christmas Day. December 26th is now known as Boxing Day, for it was then that the priests of the Middle Ages opened alms boxes to give to the poor.

    Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

    Americus Vespucius (or Amerigo Vespucci, as the name is spelled in Italian) was born in Florence, Italy, in 1454. He was in Spain at the time of Columbus' first and second voyages. In a letter, written in 1504 and printed in 1505, he claimed to have made four voyages, on the first of which, in 1497, he explored the South American coast. This would make him the first European to land on the American continent, for at that time Columbus had only reached the outlying islands. Most scholars reject Vespucius' version of this voyage. Vespucius perhaps did accompany a Spanish expedition that of Alonzo de Ojeda to South America in 1499, and in 1501 and 1503 he probably went with Portuguese expeditions. Probably he never commanded an expedition himself and, of course, was not the first person to set foot on the continents to which his name is given. Vespucius died in Seville, Spain, in 1512.

    Но вскоре в коллективе начались проблемы и всякие неурядицы, закончившиеся выдворением Салевски. К тому времени контракт с "EMI" был утерян. Команда перегруппировалась в 1995-м году и вернулась к деятельности с новым вокалистом Томом Рейнерсом. Его дебют состоялся на концертнике "Art works live now", изданном на инди-лейбле "Miez records". На следующий год вышла новая студийная работа, "New world". Этот альбом уже не являлся "типично немецким спид-металлом", но все же сохранил некоторую индивидуальность "Chroming rose". На родине релиз был воспринят неоднозначно, зато в Японии, где его лицензировала JVC, он попал в чарты.

    Чем-то смахивающий на " AC/DC" и " Aerosmith" стиль группы плюс хрипловатый вокал Тома оказались довольно-таки популярными, и их композиция "Nobody's Fool" достигла тринадцатой строчки в американских чартах, а сам дебютный альбом вскарабкался на третье место. На втором диске "Long Cold Winter" уже присутствовал более индивидуальный саунд. "Синдерелла" исполняла оригинальный блюз-рок, идеально сочетавшийся с хриплыми интонациями Кейфера. Особенным успехом пользовались такие песни, как "Gypsy road", "Don't know what you got (Till it's gone)" (штатовский № 12 в сентябре 1988-го) и "Coming home".

    Первая их пластинка, "The Clash", вышла весной 1977 года. Больше всего слушателям нравилась песня "White Riot" - "Белое Восстание", она же стала наиболее известной из всего творчества "Clash". В это же время на барабанах стал играть Ники "Топпер" Хидон. "Clash" выступали против нацистов, которых было тогда в Лондоне довольно много. В 1978 году группа провела концерт "Rock Against Racism" в Парке Королевы Виктории, и это выступление положило начало долгому противостоянию панков и наци (иногда только на словах, а иногда и на деле). В ответ на этот концерт наци провели свое выступление, "Rock Against Communism", который был воспринят многими как призыв к новой войне. Это вызвало новую волну протеста и так далее. Сейчас граница между теми и другими проведена достаточно четко - в этом заслуга именно "Clash".

  • 456. Classicism
    Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

    Term that, with the related words `classic' and `Classical', is used in various (and often confusing) ways in the history and criticism of the arts. In its broadest sense, Classicism is used as the opposite of Romanticism, characterizing art in which adherence to recognized aesthetic ideals is accorded greater importance that individuality of expression. The word often implies direct inspiration from antique art, but this is not a necessary part of the concept, and according to context the word might be intended to convey little more than the idea of clarity of expression, or alternatively of conservatism. In the context of Greek art, the term `Classical' has a more precise meaning, referring to the period between the Archaic and Hellenistic periods, when Greek culture is thought to have attained its greatest splendor. The term `classic' is used to refer to the best or most representative example of its kind in any field or period. This is what Wцlfflin meant when he gave the title Classic Art to his book on the Italian High Renaissance. Thus, in this sense, it would be legitimate, if wilfully confusing, to refer to Delacroix as the classic Romantic artist. The three terms `classic', `Classical' and `Classicism' are, then, often not used with discrimination or exactness, the conflation of historical term and value judgement reflecting the idea (dominant for centuries) that the art of the Greeks and Romans set a standard for all future achievement. To clear up (or perhaps add to) the confusion, the rather ungainly word `classicistic' has also entered the lists--it conveys the idea of dependance on ancient models but without any sense of qualitative judgement.

  • 457. Claudius Ptolemy
    Информация пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

    In examining the theory of the sun, Ptolemy compares his own observations of equinoxes with those of Hipparchus and the earlier observations Meton in 432 BC. He confirmed the length of the tropical year as 1/300 of a day less than 365 1/4 days, the precise value obtained by Hipparchus. Since, as Ptolemy himself knew, the accuracy of the rest of his data depended heavily on this value, the fact that the true value is 1/128 of a day less than 365 1/4 days did produce errors in the rest of the work. We shall discuss below in more detail the accusations which have been made against Ptolemy, but this illustrates clearly the grounds for these accusations since Ptolemy had to have an error of 28 hours in his observation of the equinox to produce this error, and even given the accuracy that could be expected with ancient instruments and methods, it is essentially unbelievable that he could have made an error of this magnitude. A good discussion of this strange error is contained in the excellent article .

    Зак подбросил пленку своим друзьям со шведского национального радио. Когда в эфире зазвучал "Nigger", ее совершенно случайно услышал Пер Квимэн, работавший в звукозаписывающей компании "MVG". Песня ему очень понравилась и в сентябре 1992 года "Clawfinger" заключили с "MVG" контракт. В апреле 1993-го, появился первый альбом группы, "Deaf Dumb Blind". Пластинка разошлась тиражом 600 тысяч и была названа "лучшим хардроковым дебютным альбомом, который когда-либо выходил в Швеции". Диск получил "золото" в Германии, Швеции и Норвегии. В 1993-м команда выступила на всех значимых скандинавских фестивалях, а осенью прокатились по Европе в компании с " Alice In Chains" и " Anthrax". Краткие, прямолинейные речитативы Зака и ставшие визитной карточкой группы острые гитары не оставили равнодушными к группе и "раздатчиков слонов".
