722. Eratosthenes of Cyrene
Доклад пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Eratosthenes made major contributions to geography. He sketched, quite accurately, the route of the Nile to Khartoum, showing the two Ethiopian tributaries. He also suggested that lakes were the source of the river. A study of the Nile had been made by many scholars before Eratosthenes and they had attempted to explain the rather strange behaviour of the river, but most like Thales were quite wrong in their explanations. Eratosthenes was the first to give what is essentially the correct answer when he suggested that heavy rains sometimes fell in regions near the source of the river and that these would explain the flooding lower down the river. Another contribution that Eratosthenes made to geography was his description of the region "Eudaimon Arabia", now the Yemen, as inhabited by four different races. The situation was somewhat more complicated than that proposed by Eratosthenes, but today the names for the races proposed by Eratosthenes, namely Minaeans, Sabaeans, Qatabanians, and Hadramites, are still used.

Die Gestapo schickte ins Gefngnis ihre Leute. Einer von ihnen war der Kriminalbeamte Opitz, ein bsartiger niedertrchtiger Halunke, der seine Aufgabe darin sah, Thlmann zu provozieren und zu qulen. Ernst Thlmann hatte gebeten, ihm einen der Gefangenen als Partner zum Schachspiel in seine Zelle zu schicken. Der Direktor war einverstanden. Aber Opitz lehnte ab. Ein anderes Mal hatte Ernst Thlmann nach jahrelanger Isolierung und Beschftigungslosigkeit irgend eine Arbeit gewnscht. Opitz lehnte ab. Thalmann bat, da man ihm erlaubt, etwas lnger auf dem Gefangnishof zu bleiben. Opitz lehnte ab. Thalmann, ein bermittelgroer, starker, stmmiger Mann von athletischem Krperbau, dessen Gesundheit zu beneiden war, erkrankte in diesen Verhltnissen.

Сочинение пополнение в коллекции 09.12.2008

Similarly, as a father and mother take care of a small child who does not yet have his own opinion on what is good and what is bad, who do not even know, that many seemingly innocent things harm his health greatly and cause strong addiction. Even when a child realises that, it is very hard for him to make the right decision. And if we consider such thing as smoking, the only right decision is not to start it. One may argue that whether to smoke or not is the private decision of every person and no one might impose his point of work to someone. I agree with this statement, but not always this principle provides us with a solution to the problem of social wellbeing. People make a lot of decisions connected with great risks like motorcycle riding, parachute jumping, smoking, taking drugs and so on. Some of these things have unalterable consequences, which make people regret they have made these decisions during the rest of their lives. The only thing they should ask themselves is whether this thing is worth risking. The fewer would be the number of activities that greatly harm human health, and above all, of these, which are not worth risking like smoking, the better it would be for the health of all humanity. The exceptions are such things as scuba diving or mountain climbing and other, because they can be justified from many reasons and they are not simple and stupid self-poisoning. I do not agree with the author of the article “Tobacco and Tolerance: Blowing smoke” that smoking is not a social problem but a private one and the anti-smoking program should be minimized. Those people, who have already started and have become addicted to the grayish-blue fumes cant fully realize, why do they take this great risk, still acknowledging that this harms their health, and it is hard for them to give up smoking without outside help. For this noble purpose there should always exist those people who can clearly realize this enormous threat as third persons with their unaddicted minds. They should never stop such hard and unappreciated occupations as different anti-smoke programs and, whether smokers want it or not, they should try to pull them out of this gray and poisonous swamp. This can be done by different government merciless limitations of tobacco producing companies, tobacco advertisements, restricting places for smoking to minimum and so on. That is why smoking is a problem of the whole society, despite some of its members think that it is not, because healthy persons form a healthy society.

727. Essay: Lev Tolstoy and England
Информация пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Once when Hanna and Tanya were walking across the steppe they met a very strange company: a lean Tatar in ragged clothes was going in front dragging a small cart behind him with a baby inside, there was a ragged all in dust Tatar woman by his side with a dirty shaggy haired girl. The family looked hungry, dirty and sad. The man asked Hanna and Tanya if there was any work for him and his wife. Tanya knew that her father always tried to give work everybody who needed it and she showed the way to the house. Lev Tolstoy hired the man and his wife to work in the fields. The family settled in the open air and sometimes they moved to the shed. Hanna was full of pity for the Tatar children. She explained to the girl that they were always hungry and together with Tanya brought them food from Tolstoys house. First the Tatar girl was afraid of them but then became friendly and did not hide. She was as wild as a little animal. She could not talk or play like a child. The only thing she was interested in was food. She came up to Tanyas and Hannas window and shouted asking for bread. When they gave her some flat cakes she never thanked them but began to eat rapidly. Tanya tried to play with the girl but in vain. Tanya made little gardens on the bottom of their dried pond sticking little branches into the ground, built roads between them and dug up holes and filled them with water as if they were lakes. The little Tatar girl watched her and then began to laugh widely and crushed all Tanyas work. Then she found horrible tarantulas in their holes, picked them and showed to Tanya speaking her native language that Tanya did not understand. The family lived and worked there the whole summer and then went away.
728. Establishment of the Federal judicial system
Информация пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

The Constitutional Conventions decisions in 1787 about the national governments court system were few but important. The framers agreed that there would be a separate federal judicial power and that to exercise it there would be a Supreme Court and there could be other federal courts. They specified the jurisdiction those courts could exercise, subject to congressional exceptions. They prescribed the appointment procedure for Supreme Court judges, and they sought to protect all federal judges from reprisals for unpopular decisions: Judges compensation could not be reduced, and judges could not be removed from office other than by legislative impeachment and conviction. Putting flesh on this skeleton fell to the First Congress. The Judiciary Act and the Bill of Rights same forces that contended over the writing and ratification of the Constitution in 1787 and 1788 sparred in the First Congress in 1789 over the nations judicial system. Federalists generally supported the Constitution and the policies of President Washingtons administration, and they wanted to establish a lower federal judiciary. Anti-Federalists opposed the Constitution or at least wanted significant changes in it and favored at best only a very limited federal judiciary. After the Constitution went into effect in 1789, outright opposition to it diminished quickly. Democratic Republicans, or “Jeffersonians,” emerged as a counter to the Federalists in power. department will be oppressive.” The star chamber of British legal history lingered in some peoples minds, and many more remembered how state courts issued judgments against debtors during the economic turmoil under the Articles of Confederation. Charles Warren identified four main changes that opponents sought in the Constitutions judiciary provisions: guaranteeing civil as well as criminal trial juries, restricting federal appellate jurisdiction to questions of law, eliminating or radically curtailing congressional authority to establish lower federal courts, and eliminating the authorization for federal diversity jurisdiction. Many who had supported the Constitution, however, believed a federal court system was necessary but doubted the need for a bill of rights. To them, the Constitution, in Hamiltons famous phrase, “is itself, in every rational sense, and to every useful purpose, a bill of rights.” The Constitution as ratified contained specific limitations on the national government (e. g., Article IIIs provision for criminal jury trials), and in a broader sense, it established an energetic national government, extending over a large republic, that would be capable of protecting people from the oppression of local factions. Courts would also protect rights. As Chief Justice John Jay later told the grand juries of the Eastern Circuit, “nothing but a strong government of laws irresistibly bearing down [upon] arbitrary power and licentiousness can defend [liberty] against those two formidable enemies.” To many Federalists, state courts under the Articles of Confederation had too easily yielded to popular pressures; the Federalists believed that a separate set of federal courts was necessary to achieve “a strong government of laws.”.

By putting up in the summertime Pärnu, in the town of bright sun, salty sea, invigorating western wind, enchanting boulevards, excellent swimming opportunities, modern treatment facilities, music and friendly people, you can shake off the shadows of the tomorrow from the countenance of todays generation, whatever the challenges posed today”. This was written in 1936. The present spa town of Pärnu attracts the young by its beaches and the ruckus of summer events, and the not so young by fresh air, mud baths, and peace and quiet. There is something for everyones pleasure! Pärnu is a health resort of international stature. Proof to this is the visitors arriving from around fifty countries, and the following two honours bestowed upon it: in 2000, Pärnu joined the ESPA (European Spas Association) and in 2001 Pärnu flew the European Blue Flag at its beach.

Доклад пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

В конце 1994-го группа прорвалась в знаменитую студию "Tico Tico" и записала там промо-пленку "Bard's burial". Пока запись ходила по различным уголкам мира, все члены "Eternal tears of sorrow" успели отслужить в армии. Когда ребята сняли военную форму, им сразу же поступило предложение от шведского лейбла "X-Treme records", и в марте 1996-го контракт был подписан. Первый альбом музыканты записали очень быстро, а вот выхода его в свет пришлось ждать больше года. Чтобы как-то скрасить томительное ожидание "EtoS" пригласили сессионщиков и летом 1997-го отыграли свой первый концерт.

732. Euclid of Alexandria
Информация пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Not much younger than these [pupils of Plato] is Euclid, who put together the "Elements", arranging in order many of Eudoxus's theorems, perfecting many of Theaetetus's, and also bringing to irrefutable demonstration the things which had been only loosely proved by his predecessors. This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy; for Archimedes, who followed closely upon the first Ptolemy makes mention of Euclid, and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there were a shorted way to study geometry than the Elements, to which he replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He is therefore younger than Plato's circle, but older than Eratosthenes and Archimedes; for these were contemporaries, as Eratosthenes somewhere says. In his aim he was a Platonist, being in sympathy with this philosophy, whence he made the end of the whole "Elements" the construction of the so-called Platonic figures.

I`d like to tell you about Europe. Europe is our common home. All the history is going up from Europe. Europeans had opened other continent and the European languages are speaking all over the world today. It consists of 42 countries, such as the UK, France, Germany and others, and Russia is among them. Europe is the second smallest part of the world after Australia. The area of Europe is about 10 million sq. km. The population is about 700 million people. The largest countries by the area are: the European part of Russia (4 million sq. km.) and the Ukraine (600.000 sq. km.). The largest countries by population are the European part of Russia (100 million people) and Germany (79 million people). There are some facts about Europe.
734. Europe in the Middle Ages
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Little of Europe's coming dynamism was apparent in the year 1000, although there were signs that the Continent was getting richer. Wider use of plows had made farming more efficient. The planting of new crops, notably beans and peas, added variety to Europe's diet Windmills and watermills provided fresh sources of power. Villages that were to become towns and eventually cities grew up around trading markets. Yet the modern nation-state, with its centralized bureaucracies and armies under unified command came into being in the 15th century. For most of the Middle Ages, Roman Catholicism was Europe's unifying force. Benedictine abbeys had preserved what fragments of ancient learning the Continent possessed. Cistercian monks had cleared the land and pioneered in agricultural experimentation. Ambitious popes competed with equally ambitious kings to determine whether the spiritual realm would hold power over the temporal, or vice versa. Symbolic of the church's power were the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe: construction of Reims began in the 13th century, and Charters-the most glorious of all such edifices-was consecrated in 1260.
735. European Union
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Although the EU is the fifth major trade bloc in the world, there are some weak sides the EU should consider very carefully. At first the EU has to set special policies concerning the trade with nonmember countries to avoid or secure from expected outsiders barriers. Instead the EU can enact such policy that will deepen the relationships with nonmember countries. As soon as 13 countries enter into this free trade zone or bloc, the EU will become more successful and will increase exports to support member countries consumers. Yet, however much nations and regions integrate their trading policies and standards, each nation still has unique features that must be understood. A nations readiness for different products and services and its attractiveness as a market to foreign firms depend on its economic, political legal, and cultural environments. The EU became driving force into the international market for member countries. Such kind of economic communities are needed to increase todays economic growth and make countries better off.

"Eurythmics" быстренько переиздали "Love Is A Stranger" (английский № 6 в апреле 1983) и "Who's That Girl?" (английский № 3 в июле 1983). Выпущенный в ноябре 1983 года "Touch" пользовался огромным успехом, став лидером британских хит-парадов. Альбом содержал набор блестящих композиций, таких как "Right By Your Side" (№ 10 в ноябре 1983) и "Here Comes The Rain Again" (№ 4 в Англии, № 8 в США в январе 1984). После выхода мини-LP с четырьмя ремиксами из "Touch" "Eurythmics" записали саундтрек к кинофильму "1984", песня из которого "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four)" попала на четвертое место в английских чартах в ноябре 1984-го. Но вообще-то саундтрек получился довольно тусклым, что было немедленно исправлено превосходным диском "Be yourself tonight", имевшим трансатлантический успех (сопутствующий сингл "Would I Lie To You?" занял 17 место в Англии, и 5-е в Америке в апреле 1985-го).

А в 1999 на том же лейбле вышел второй ЕР "Whisper/Sound Asleep". Этот мини-альбом был выпущен всего в 50 экземплярах и очень быстро разошелся. Он продавался в простой пластиковой коробке без вкладыша. Группа уже начала приобретать некоторую известность. Наконец, в 2000 году на прилавках магазинов появился первый альбом группы "Evanescence" под названием "Origin", состоящий из 11 песен. Одним из шагов к дальнейшему успеху группы стал первый сингл "Bring me to life". Запись была сделана совместно с вокалистом группы " 12 stones" Полом Маккоем и прозвучала в фильме "Daredevil", впоследствии войдя в саундтрек к нему.

Уже в том же году команда дебютировала с концептуальным альбомом "Seasons", посвященным смене времен года. Продюсировал пластинку Ян Питер Генкель, известный своим сотрудничеством с такими коллективами как " Lacrimosa" и " Therion". Альбом, насыщенный дарк-металлом с вокалом, перетекающим из гроулинга в чистый, получился великолепным, и лейбл постарался раскрутить его как положено. Турне в поддержку "Seasons" включало в себя серию совместных концертов с " Amorphis". В 1997-м все с тем же Генкелем "Evereve" записали второй лонгплей, "Stormbirds". На этот раз диск оказался менее удачным, новых идей не было, и группа вступила в полосу кризиса. Помимо этого у Тома обнаружились личные проблемы, он впал в депрессию и стал подумывать об уходе.

Отец понял, что сыновьями надо заняться всерьез и отправил их обивать пороги звукозаписывающих компаний. После множества отказов братьев наконец-то приняли в "Cadence Records". Эта фирма и выпустила их сингл "Bye Bye Love", занявший в 1957 году второе место в американских чартах. Этот релиз предварил вереницу хитов, изданных на той же "Cadence" - "Wake Up Little Susie", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", "Bird Dog", "('Til) I Kissed You" и "When Will I Be Loved". Слушателям пришлась по вкусу уникальная особенность звучания "Everly brothers", сочетавшая в себе кантри, рок'н'ролл, блюз и рокабилли.
