| Both cyanuric acid and melanin have been found in specimens of urine of pets, died after ingesting contaminated animal food. | |
| The two components react with each other forming crystals, which can block the functioning of kidneys, researchers said at the university. | |
| The researchers observed formation of crystals in cat's urine, adding melamine and cyanuric acid. | |
| The composition of these crystals coincides with those found in the urine of the affected pets, comparing with infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). | |
| I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but most of Central America's goods come into this country freely. | |
| However, eighty percent of our goods were evaluated by border taxes in Central American countries. | |
| That didn't seem logical to me; it certainly wasn't fair. | |
| Everything I say to people, you must relate to us as we relate to you. | |
| California's head of state Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a law project, which prohibits selling or leasing violent video games to children. | |
| The law requires that violent video games sold in the state of California be marked with a symbol "18", and make their sale to a child punishable with a fine of $1,000 per breach. | |
| The chief prosecutor Kier Starmer, a royal law advisor, declared this morning an announcement of a lawsuit against both Huhne and Pryce. | |
| Huhne resigned and will be replaced in the government of MP Ed Davey. Member of Parliament Norman Lamb, as expected, will reclaim the post of Minister of Commerce, which Davey leaves. | |
| Huhne and Pryce are listed to appear in the Magistrate Court of Westminster on 16 February. | |

| Besides the Wednesday event, Carpanedo competed in two individual races at the Championships. | |
| Her first was the slalom, where she won a novice until the end in the first attempt. 36 of the 116 competitors had the same result in the race. | |
| Her other race, the giant slalom, underwent her tenth in the women's group of seats, with a total running time of 4:41,30, at 2:11,60 minutes slower than the finisher on the first place Austrian Claudia Loesch and 1:09.02 minutes more slowly than the winner of the ninth place Gyöngyi Dani of Hungary. | |
| Four skiers in the women's group of seats failed to finish their runs, and 45 of the 117 skiers in the giant slalom failed to qualify in the race. | |
| The police of Madja Pradesh found the stolen laptop and mobile phone. | |
| An assistant of the superintendent D K Arya said: "We arrested five people who raped the Swiss woman, and recovered her phone and laptop". | |
| The defendants are named Baba Kanjar, Bhutha Kanjar, Rampro Kanjar, Gaza Kanjar and Vishnu Kanjar. | |
| Police superintendent Chandra Shekhar Solanki said the defendants had appeared in a courthouse with sheltered faces. | |
| Although three people were in the house when the car collided against it, none of them were injured. | |
| The driver received serious injuries in his head. | |
| The road, where the crash took place, was temporarily closed as the rescue services liberated the driver from the red Audi TT. | |
| He was admitted to James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth. | |
| Later he was transferred to Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge. | |
| Adekoya has remained since then in Edinburgh Sheriff's Court, accused of murder by his son. | |
| She is guarded by awaiting official indictment and sentencing, but any deposition of witness may be influenced, as her image has been widely held. | |
| It is a common practice elsewhere in the United Kingdom, but Scottish law works differently, and courts regard publication of photographs possibly prejudiceal. | |
| Professor Pamela Ferguson of the University of Dundee remarks: "Journalists seem to approach a dangerous line if they publish photographs or other details about suspects." | |
| Crown Office, which is generally responsible for indictment, explained to journalists that no further comment will take place at least until the indictment is made. | |
| The document, according to the leak, will refer to the dispute over borders that Palestine wants to have based on the borders before the Middle Eastern War of 1967. | |
| Other relevant issues, said, will include the future state of Jerusalem, which is sacred to both nations, and the problem of Jordan valley. | |
| Israel demands a continuing military presence in the valley for ten years after signing an agreement, while the PA agrees to let the presence for only five years. | |

| According to Mick O'Flynn, a substitute to the Director of Parks and Heritage at NPWS, the four chosen for the first shooting operation were given detailed instructions on safety and training. | |
| Martelly swore on a new nine-member Interim Election Council (CEP). | |
| It is Martelly's first CEP for four years. | |
| Last month a presidential committee recommended resignation from the former CEP as part of a means to promote the country to new elections. | |
| The committee was a response from Martelly to the spreading anti-mode protests, which began in October. | |
| The protests, sometimes violent, were evoked from an unsuccessful organization of elections, some delayed from 2011. | |
| About 60 cases of overheating of iPods are reported, resulting in a total of six fires and leaving minor burns to four people. | |
| Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (MEKI) has reported that 27 accidents related to the devices are known to it. | |
| Last week MEKI announced that Apple had informed it of 34 new overheating incidents, which the company called "minor". | |
| The ministry responded, calling a delay from the report by Apple "truly regrettable". | |
| The earthquake shook Mariana at 07:19 local hour (21:19 GMT on Friday). | |
| The office of emergency management of the Northern Mariana Islands said there were no reports of damage in the country. | |
| The Pacific Center for Tsunami warning also said there was no indication of a tsunami. | |
| Former Filipino soldier took tourists from Hong Kong as hostages, capturing their bus in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. | |
| Rolando Mendoza shot with his M16 rifle at the tourists. | |
| Some hostages have been released, and so far at least six deaths have been confirmed. | |
| Six hostages, among them children and elderly, were released earlier, as well as the Filipino photographers. | |
| The photographers later replaced an old woman who needed a toilet. Mendoza was shot dead. | |
| Liggins followed an example of his father and chose a career in medicine. | |
| He studied as an obstetrician and began working at Auckland National Hospital in 1959. | |
| While working in the hospital, Liggins began to investigate premature childbirth during his free time. | |
| His research showed that the supply of hormone increased the maturity of the fetal lung in the baby. | |

| Tommy Dreamer said: "Moon's was the first Queen of Extreme. My first manager passed on the night of two moons. | |
| Dustin "Goldust" Runnels commented that "Moon was as strange as I... maybe even more... I love her and I'll miss her... hopefully she's in a better place." | |
| Out of 1400 people questioned before the federal elections of 2010, a number of those who oppose Australia becoming a republic have grown by 8 percent since 2008. | |
| Interim Prime Minister Julia Gillard claimed during the 2010 federal elections that she believes Australia must become a republic at the end of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. | |
| 34 percent of those in the opinion poll share this view, wanting Queen Elizabeth II to be the last Australian monarch. | |
| In the extremes of the opinion poll, 29 percent of people think Australia should become a republic as soon as possible, while 31 percent believe that Australia will never become a republic. | |
| The Olympic gold medalist had to swim 100 m and 200 m freestyle and in three relay runs at the Commonwealth Games, but due to his complaints, his ability was doubted. | |
| He could not use medicines necessary to experience his pain, as they are forbidden in the Games. | |
| Curtis Cooper, professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of Central Missouri, on 25 January discovered the largest known for today's prime number. | |
| Some people confirmed the exposure, using various devices and software, until early days of February, and it was declared on Tuesday. | |
| Comets may be a source of water supply for Earth, and also of organic matter, which may form proteins and support life. | |
| Scientists hope to understand how planets develop, especially how the Earth has formed, as comets have clashed with Earth long ago. | |
| Cuomo, 53, began his reign earlier this year and last month signed a law that legalizes same-sex marriages. | |
| He referred to the rumors as "political gossips and nonsense." | |
| He is likely to try to be president in 2016. | |
| NextGen is a system that will allow airplanes to fly shorter routes and save millions of gallons of fuel annually, also reduce emissions of carbon. | |
| It uses satellite technology, as opposed to older terrestrial radar technology, to allow air traffic controllers to locate airplanes with greater accuracy and to give pilots more correct information. | |
| There is no additional transportation to operate, and the terrestrial trains will not stop in Wembley, nor parking-and-drive options can be found on the site. | |
| Fear of a shortage of transportation has elevated probability that the game will be played compulsory behind closed doors, without supporters of the team. | |
| On Thursday, a scientific study reported the formation of a new bird species on the Equatorial Galápagos Islands. | |
| Researchers from Princeton University at the United States and Uppsala University in Sweden have told that the new species have evolved only in two generations, although this process is believed to have taken more time, due to a pairing between endemic Darwinian finch, Geospiza forces, and the immigrant cactus fringe, Geospiza conirostris. | |
| Gold can be formed in the most diverse patterns. It can be rolled up to thin patterns. | |
| It can be pulled to get a thin wire that can be folded and braided. It can be hammered or rolled up to a leaf. | |
| It can be made very thin and stick to another metal. It can be so thin that it was once used to decorate hand-painted images in books called "illuminated manuscripts". | |
| This is called a pH of a chemical. You can make an indicator by using a juice of red beet. | |
| Cole juice changes color depending on how acidic or basal (alkaline) is the chemical. | |
| The pH level indicates a quantity of hydrogen (the H in pH) ions in the tested chemical. | |
| Hydrogen ions are protons that have been deprived of their electrons (because a hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron). | |
| Combine the two dry powders together and, consequently, with pure wet hands, compress them ball-shaped. | |
| Dampness on your hands will react with the outer layers, which will make you feel strange and shape like a shell. | |
| The towns of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a water spray closure almost in each house, connected to a complicated channelry. | |
| Remains of channelry have been found in the houses of Minoan towns of Crito and Santorino in Greece. | |
| Toilets were also in ancient Egypt, Persia and China. In Roman civilization, toilets were sometimes part of public baths, where men and women were together in a mixed company. | |
| When you call someone who is thousands of miles away, you use a satellite. | |
| The satellite in space receives the phone call and reflects it down, almost immediately. | |
| The satellite was sent into space by rocket. Scientists use telescopes in space, as the Earth's atmosphere distorts partly light and sight. | |
| It takes a giant rocket more than 100 feet high to put a satellite or a telescope into space. | |
| The wheel has changed the world in an incredible way. The biggest thing enabled by the wheel is providing much easier and quicker transportation. | |
| We have a car, a car and a lot of others. | |
| Below them are medium-sized cats, which feed on medium-sized prey on the scale from hares to antelopes and deer. | |
| Finally, there are many small cats (including homeless pet cats), who eat the much more numerous prey like insects, rodents, lizards and birds. | |
| The secret of their success is a concept of the niche, a specialization that is retained by every cat, for which they do not have to compete with others. | |
| Lions are the most social cats, they live in groups called herds. | |
| Gregon consists of one to three related adult males and many to thirty females and young. | |
| The females are usually in close kinship among themselves, as a large family of sisters and daughters. | |
| Lion herds work quite similarly to wolves or dogs, which surprisingly resemble lions (but not other large cats) in terms of behavior, and also very deadly for the prey. | |
| A very harmonic athlete, a tiger can climb (although not very well), swim, jump at great distances and draw five times harder than a strong man. | |
| Tiger is in the same group (Genus Panthera) with lions, leopards and jaguars. These four cats are the only ones who can roar. | |
| The tiger roar is not like the full-voice rose of a lion, but more like a phrase of raucous, screaming words. | |
| Ocelots like to eat small animals. They catch monkeys, snakes, rodents and birds as much as possible. | |
| Scientists believe that ocelots follow and find edible animals (prey) by smelling the traces on the ground. | |
| They can see in the dark with night sight, and also move very undetectablely. Ocelots hunt their prey by camouflaging themselves in the vicinity and then jumping on them. | |
| When a small group of living beings (small population) divides from the main population, from which it originates (as if they cross a mountain or a river, or if they move to a new island, so they cannot easily return), they often find themselves in an environment different from the one where they were before. | |
| This new environment has other resources and other competitors, so the new population will have to, in order to be a strong competitor, have other features or adaptations compared to those they needed previously. | |
| The original population has not changed at all, they still need the same adaptations as before. | |
| With time, while the new population begins to adapt to their new environment, they begin to look less and less similar to the other population. | |
| Finally, with the passing of thousands or even millions of years, the two populations will look so different that they cannot be called the same species. | |
| We call this process speciation, which simply means formation of new species. Specification is an inevitable consequence and a very important part of development. | |
| Plants make oxygen that people inhale, and they take off carbon dioxide, which humans exhale. | |
| Plants produce their nutrients from the sun by photosynthesis. They also give a shadow. | |
| We build our houses from plants and make clothing from plants. Most of the food we eat is vegetables. Without vegetables, animals could not survive. | |
| Mozasaurus was the highest predator of his time, so it was not afraid, except for other mozasaurians. | |
| Its long jaws were equipped with more than 70 sharp teeth, along with an additional set in its mouth roof, which means nothing that encountered it could escape. | |
| It is not certain, but it may have had a bifidal tongue. Its diet included turtles, large fish, other mosaics, and may even have been cannibal. | |
| It also attacked everything that entered the water, even a giant dinosaur like a Tyrannosaurus would be unlucky against it. | |
| Although we would recognise most of their food, Romans indeed had their set of strange or unusual feast articles, including wild pig, peacock, snails and a type of rodent called glyric. | |
| Another difference was that while the poor men and women ate their food while sitting in chairs, rich men liked to have dinner together, where they would rest on their sides, eating their dishes. | |
| Among the dishes of Ancient Rome could not be food that came to Europe from America or Asia in later centuries. | |
| For example, they didn't have maize, tomatoes, potatoes, or cocoa, and no ancient Roman ever tasted turkey. | |
| Babylonians built for each their god a chief temple, which was considered the home of the God. | |
| Human beings sacrificed to the gods, and the priests endeavored to take care of the needs of the gods with ceremonies and festivals. | |
| Each temple had an open temple court, as well as an inner sanctuary, which only the priests could enter. | |
| Sometimes special pyramids, called ziggurats, were built as part of the temples. | |
| The top of the tower was a special sanctuary of the god. | |
| In the warm climate of the Middle East the house was not so important. | |
| Most of the life of a Hebrew family took place in the fresh air. | |
| Women were cooking in the courtyard; shops were simply open counters in front of the street. | |
| In the land of Canaan there were no large forests, so wood was extremely expensive. | |
| Greenland was inhabited sparsely. In the Norwegian sagas it is said that Erik the Red was expelled from Iceland by murder, and by the way further west, he found Greenland and named it Greenland. | |
| But regardless of his discovery, Inuit tribes had already lived there at the time. | |
| Although each country was 'Scandinavian', there were many differences between the peoples, kings, customs and history of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. | |
| If you have seen the film National Treasure, you can think that a treasure map was drawn on the back of the Declaration of Independence. | |
| However, this is not true. Though on the back of the document there is a script, it is not a treasure map. | |
| On the back of the Declaration of Independence were the words: "Original Declaration of Independence dated July 4, 1776". | |
| Although no one knows who wrote this, it is known that in early days of its existence the great parchment document (its dimension is 293⁄4 inches per 241⁄2 inch) was wrapped for holding. | |
| So the note was added simply as a label. | |
| The landings of the day D and the following battles liberated the north of France, but the south still remained not free. | |
| It was ruled by the French of "Vichy". These were French people who reconciled with the Germans in 1940 and worked with the invaders instead of fighting against them. | |
| On 15 August 1940, the Allies invaded southern France, the invasion was called "Operation Dragoon". | |
| After only two weeks the Americans and the free French forces liberated southern France and turned against Germany. | |
| "Civilization is a distinct culture shared by a large group of people who live and work together, society. | |
| The word civilization derives from the Latin civilis, which means civil, related to the Latin civis, citizen, and civic, which means city or city-state, and also that somehow defines the dimension of the society. | |
| "City-states are predecessors of nations. Civilization culture reunderstands the transmission of knowledge through a few generations, lasting cultural trace and a rather large division. | |
| Lesser cultures often disappear without leaving relevant historical testimony and fail to be recognized as appropriate civilizations. | |
| During the Revolutionary War, the thirteen states initially formed a weak central government — with its sole component — under the Articles of Confederation. | |
| Congress lacked any power to collect taxes and, as there was no national executive branch or judicial system, it conferred execution of its decisions to agencies of the states, which were often not cooperative. | |
| It also could not override tax laws and customs among states. | |
| The Articles required unanimous consent from all states before any change, and states referred to the central government so readily that their representatives often absent. | |
| Italy's national football team, and also Germany's national football team, is the second most successful team in the world and was champions of FIFA's World Cup in 2006. | |
| Among popular sports are football, basketball, volleyball, water pole, fencing, rugby, cycling, ice hockey, roll hockey and auto racing F1. | |
| Winter sports are most popular in the northern regions, so Italians compete in international games and Olympic events. | |
| Japan has about 7000 islands (the largest is Honshu), making Japan the 7th largest island in the world! | |
| Due to the composition/group of islands that Japan has, Japan is often called, in a geographical sense, "archipelago". | |
| The beginning of Taiwan began long ago in the 15th century, when European sailors in passing recorded the name of the island as Ilha Formosa, or a beautiful island. | |
| In 1624 the Dutch East India Company founded a base in south-west Taiwan, beginning to transform the indigenous ways of grain production and hiring Chinese workers to work in their rice and sugar plantations. | |
| In 1683 troops of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) occupied western and northern coastal areas of Taiwan and proclaimed Taiwan province of Empire Qing in 1885. | |
| In 1895, after the defeat in the first Sino-Japanese war (1894–1895), Qing's government signed the treaty of Shimonoseki, according to which it ceded sovereignty over Taiwan to Japan, which ruled the island until 1945. | |
| Machu Picchu consists of three main structures, Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun and the Room of Three Windows. | |
| Most of the buildings on the sides of the complex were reconstructed to give tourists a better idea of how they originally looked. | |
| Until 1976 30 percent of Machu Picchu was restored and the restoration continues until today. | |
| For example, the most common in the world format to photograph static images is 35 mm, which was the dominant film dimension at the closing of the era of analog film. | |
| It is still being produced today, but, what is more important, its proportion has been inherited from the sensory formats of digital cameras. | |
| The format 35 mm is actually, somewhat confusing, 36 mm wide and 34 mm high. | |
| The proportion of this format (divided into twelve to receive the simplest integer ratio) is therefore called 3:2. | |
| Several popular formats (format APS, for example) are equal or very close to this proportion. | |
| The much insulted and often laughed rule of thirds is simply a guideline creating dynamism, holding a measure of order in an image. | |
| It states that the most effective location of the main subject is at the crossing of lines, which divide the image by thirds vertically and horizontally (see example). | |
| Throughout this period in European history the Catholic Church, becoming rich and powerful, has become an object of critical research. | |
| In the course of more than a thousand years the Christian religion has linked European states in spite of linguistic and cultural differences. | |
| Its all-encompassing power has touched everyone from king to citizen. | |
| One of the main Christian tenets is that wealth should be used to reduce poverty and poverty, and that the ecclesiastical resources exist specifically for that purpose. | |
| For over a thousand years the central authority of the church was in Rome and this concentration of power and money caused many to doubt whether this dogma is obeyed. | |
| Shortly after the outbreak of fighting, Britain initiated a maritime blockade of Germany. | |
| The strategy proved its effectiveness, it cut off very important military and civilian deliveries, although this blockade broke a generally accepted international law codified by a number of international agreements from past two centuries. | |
| Britain mined international waters to prevent entry of any ships into entire sections of ocean, endangering even neutral ships. | |
| As such a tactic had a limited reaction, Germany expected a similar reaction to its unlimited military use of submarines. | |
| During the 1912s the dominant stance of most citizens and nations was pacifism and isolationism. | |
| After seeing the horrors and brutalities of war during the First World War, nations wished to avoid returning from such a situation in the future. | |
| In 1884 Tesla moved to the United States to accept a job at Edison Company in New York City. | |
| He arrived to the United States featuring 4 cents, a poetic book and a recommended letter from Charles Batchelor (his administrator at the former workplace) to Thomas Edison. | |
| Ancient China had its own way of showing various periods of time; each era in China or every family, which ruled, was a separate dynasty. | |
| Also among all the dynasties was an unstable era of divided provinces. The best known of such periods was the Three Kingdoms Era, which lasted for 60 years between the Han and Jin dynasties. | |
| In these periods violent rage occurred among many noblemen struggling with the throne. | |
| The Three Kingdoms were one of the bloodiest eras in ancient China, thousands of people died fighting to sit in the tallest chair in the great palace in Xi’an. | |
| There are many social and political effects, such as the use of a metric system, the transition from absolutism to republicanism, nationalism and the belief that the country belongs to the general public and not to a sole ruler. | |
| In addition, after the Revolution positions were open to all male candidates, which allowed success of the most ambitious and successful. | |
| Same is true of the military, because instead of military ranks previously based on class, they were now based on personality. | |
| The French Revolution also inspired many other oppressed people of working class in other countries to trigger their own revolutions. | |
| Muhammad was deeply interested in things outside this daily life. He frequent a cave, which became known as "Hira" on Mount "Noor" (light) for contemplation. | |
| The cave itself, which has been preserved over time, gives a clear picture of Muhammad's spiritual inclinations. | |
| Located at the top of one of the mountains north of Mecca, the cave is absolutely isolated from the rest of the world. | |
| In fact, it's not easy to find, even if you know it exists. When you're in the cave, that's total isolation. | |
| Nothing else can be seen except the cloudless, beautiful sky above and the many mountains around. Very little of this world can be seen or heard from within the cave. | |
| The Great Pyramid in Giza is one of seven miracles still standing today. | |
| Built by the Egyptians in the third century BC, the Great Pyramid is one of the largest pyramid structures built to honor a dead pharaoh. | |
| The Giza plateau, or "Giza Necropolis" in the Egyptian Valley of the Dead contains a number of pyramids (among which the large pyramid is the largest), some small tombs, some temples and the large Sphinx. | |
| The Great Pyramid was built to honor the Pharaoh Khufu, and among the smaller pyramids, tombs and temples many were built to honor wives and families of Khufu. | |
| The "string up" mark looks like a V and the "bow down mark" as a bracket or square without an underside. | |
| Up means you have to start at the top and push the bow, and down means that you have to start at the heel (that's where your hand holds the bow) and pull the bow. | |
| A bow up usually produces a more refined sound, while the bow down is stronger and firm. | |
| Don't hesitate to add with a pencil your own marks, but remember that the printed string marks are there for a musical reason, so usually they should be observed. | |
| The frightened King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antoinette, their two young children (11 years old Marie Therese and four years old Louis-Charles) and the sister of King Elizabeth on 6 October 1789 were returned to Paris from Versailles by a multitude of basic women. | |
| They traveled to Paris with a cart, surrounded by a crowd of people, screaming and screaming threats against the king and queen. | |
| The crowd made the king and queen wide open the windows of the cart. | |
| At some point a mass member swung the head of a royal guard killed in Versailles before the frightened queen. | |
| The military expenditures of U.S. Empire in conquest of the Philippines were paid by the Filipino people themselves. | |
| They had to pay taxes to the U.S. colonial regime to reward a large part of the expenses and the percentage of the bonds circulating in the name of the Philippine government through the banks of Wall Street. | |
| Of course, the surpluses discharged from the widespread exploitation of the Filipino people constituted the basic income of U.S. imperialism. | |
| To understand the templates, it is necessary to understand the context that helped the foundation of the order. | |
| The era where events took place is usually called Middle Ages, the period of European history in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries (1000-1300 CE). | |
| Before the Middle Ages was the Early Middle Ages and followed it the Late Middle Ages, which ends in agreement around 1500. | |
| A technological decision is a term that virtually covers a wide variety of ideas, from technological push or the technological imperative to a strict sense that human destiny drives underlying logic related to scientific laws and their manifestation in technology. | |
| Most interpretations of technological determinism share two general ideas: that the development of technology itself follows a largely beyond cultural or political influences, and that technology in turn has “consequences” essentially of its own, and not socially conditioned societies. | |
| For example, one could say that the car needs to lead to the development of roads. | |
| However, a nationwide road network is not economically possible for just a handful of cars, so new methods of production are designed to reduce the costs of car ownership. | |
| Mass ownership of cars also leads to a higher incidence of accidents on the road, which leads to the invention of new health care techniques to repair damaged bodies. | |
| Romanticism had a large element of cultural determinism, taken from writers like Goethe, Fichte and Schlegel. | |
| In the context of romanticism, the geography modeled individuals and with time emerged habits and culture related to this geography, and these, more harmonious with the society's location, were better than arbitrarily imposed laws. | |
| As well as Paris is known as the capital of fashion in the modern world, so Constantinople was considered the fashionable capital of feudal Europe. | |
| Its reputation as an epicenter of luxury began around 400 BC and lasted until around 1100 BC. | |
| In the twelfth century its status degenerated mainly because the crusaders returned carrying silks and spices considered more valuable than those offered by the Byzantine bazaars. | |
| It was at that time that the title Moda Capital moved from Constantinople to Paris. | |
| Gothic style had a peak in the period between the 10th–11th centuries and the 14th century. | |
| In the beginning a garment was greatly influenced by the Byzantine culture in the east. | |
| However, due to the slow media, styles in the west could be delayed by 25 to 30 years. | |
| At the end of the Middle Ages, Western Europe began to develop its own style. One of the important achievements of the period was that people started using buttons to fix clothes as a result of the crusades. | |
| Subsistence agriculture is farmed to produce enough food for needs only by the farmer and his/her family. | |
| Subsistence agriculture is a simple, often organic, system using saved seeds native to the ecoregion with rotation of crops or other relatively simple techniques to expand harvest. | |
| Historically most farmers have been involved in subsistence agriculture and this is still true in many developing states. | |
| Subcultures join people from similar perspectives, who feel disregarded by social norms, and allow them to grow the sense of identity. | |
| Subcultures can be distinguished due to the age, ethnic belonging, class, place and/or genus of the members. | |
| The features determined for a subculture as distinct, can be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographical or a combination of factors. | |
| Subculturers often signify their membership by recognizable and symbolic use of style, which includes fashion, affection and slang. | |
| One of the most common methods used to illustrate the importance of socialization is to mention the few sad occurrences of children, who during growth due to negligence, bad luck or malicious maltreatment were not socialized by adults. | |
| Such children are called "wild" or wild. Some wild children were borne by humans (usually their own parents); in some cases such abandonment of a child was due to the serious intellectual or physical disability of a child by their parents. | |
| Wilder children could experience severe mistreatment or trauma before being abandoned or fleeing. | |
| Others are said to have been raised by animals; some are said to have lived in nature by themselves. | |
| Educated only by non-human animals, the wild child shows behaviors (in the face of physical limitations) almost completely similar to those of the certain caring animal, as well as its fear or indifference towards human beings. | |
| While project-based learning is to make learning easier and more interesting, scaffolding takes another step. | |
| Scaffolding is not a learning method, but a tool that delivers support to individuals within a new learning experience, such as the use of a new computer program or the start of a new project. | |
| Scaffolding can be both virtual and real, in other words, and a teacher is a variant of scaffolding and the small paper clip in Microsoft Office. | |
| Virtual scaffolding is embedded into software and must ask, suggest and explain procedures, which might be difficult for the learner if he acted by himself. | |
| Children find themselves in a trustee agency for various reasons, which vary from neglect to maltreatment and even extortion. | |
| No child should ever grow up in an environment that is not supporting, careful and educational, but that happens. | |
| We see the guardian system as a security zone for such children. | |
| Our trusteeship system must provide safe homes, loving caregivers, stable education and reliable health care. | |
| It is necessary to provide everything that was lacking in the house from which they had previously been taken. | |
| The Internet combines elements of both mass and interpersonal communication. | |
| The special features of the Internet give additional dimensions to the theory of uses and rewards. | |
| For example, "learning" and "socialization" are suggested as important motives for using the Internet (James C., 1995). | |
| Eighmey and McCord (1998) also identified “personal engagement” and “continuous relationships” as new motivational aspects when they explored reactions from the public to websites. | |
| The use of video recording has followed major exposures in the interpretation of microexpressions, motions of face, which last for a few milliseconds. | |
| In particular, it is said that it is possible to guess whether a person lies, by correct interpretation of microexpressions. | |
| Oliver Sacks in his article The President's Speech indicated that people who cannot understand speech due to brain injury may, however, correctly evaluate sincerity. | |
| He even assumes that such abilities of interpreting human behavior can be shared by animals such as domestic dogs. | |
| The study in the twentieth century showed that there are two sets of genetic variation: concealed and represented. | |
| A mutation adds new gene variation, and a selection removes it from the group of visible variation. | |
| Compartition and recombination remix the variation back and forth between the two groups in each generation. | |
| In the savanna it is difficult for a primate with a digestive system, as humans have, to satisfy their needs of amino acids from available crops. | |
| In addition, failure to do so has significant consequences: decrease in growth, malnutrition and ultimately death. | |
| The most easily accessible resources of crops would be proteins available from leaves and beans, but these are hard to digest for primates like us if they are not cooked. | |
| On the contrary, animal-derived foods (ants, termites, eggs) are not only easily digestible, but also provide high-quality proteins that contain the essential amino acids. | |
| If we consider all the circumstances, we should not be surprised if our ancestors solved their "protein problem" in some way similar to what chimpanzees do in savannah today. | |
| Sleep stopping is the process of intentional awakening during your usual sleep period and sleeping after a short period of time (10–60 minutes). | |
| This can be done easily by using a relatively low alarm clock to recover without fully waking up. | |
| If you notice that you reset the clock while you sleep, it can be left on the other side of the room, which will make you get up to turn it off. | |
| Among others based on biorhythms options are drinking a lot of liquid (especially water or tea, known diuretic) before the sleep, this will cause you to get up to urinate. | |
| The extent of inner peace that a person has is negatively correlated with the extent of tension in the body and spirit. | |
| The lower the voltage, the more positive force is in life. Every person has the power to find absolute peace and satisfaction. | |
| The only obstacle on the way to this goal is your own tension and negativity. | |
| Tibetan Buddhism is based on Buddha's teachings, but has been expanded by the Mahayana way of love and by many techniques from Indian yoga. | |
| In principle Tibetan Buddhism is very simple. It consists of co-linear yoga, meditation and the path of universal love. | |
| In kundalline yoga the co-aligned energy (energy of enlightenment) is awakened by yoga positions, breath exercises, mantras and visualizations. | |
| In the center of Tibetan meditation is the divine yoga. Imaging various deities, cleaning up the energy channels, activating the chakras and creating the enlightened consciousness. | |
| Germany was a common enemy in the Second World War, which led to cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States. After the war a clash of systems, processes and cultures led to a disintegration of the countries. | |
| Two years after the end of the war, the former Allies were already enemies, and the cold war began. | |
| It had been going on for the next 40 years and was going to have real battles, with replacement armies, in battlefields from Africa to Asia, in Afghanistan, Cuba and many other places. | |
| On September 17, 1939 the Polish defense was already broken, the only hope remained to withdraw and reorganize along the Romanian bridgehead. | |
| However, these plans expired almost one night, when more than 800,000 soldiers of the Soviet Red Army entered and formed the Belarusian and Ukrainian fronts after an invasion of the eastern regions of Poland, breaking the Riga peace treaty, the Soviet-Polish pact of non-aggression and other international agreements, both bilateral and multilateral. | |
| Using ships for transporting goods is the most effective way to move large amounts of people and goods across oceans. | |
| The work of the Navy has traditionally been to ensure that your country retains the ability to move your people and goods, at the same time preventing your enemy's ability to move its people and goods. | |
| North Atlantic campaign of World War II. The Americans have tried to move people and materials through the Atlantic Ocean to aid Britain. | |
| At the same time the German Navy, using primarily U-boats, attempted to stop this traffic. | |
| If the Allies failed, Germany would probably be able to conquer Britain as well as the rest of Europe. | |
| Goats seem to have been first domesticated about 10,000 years ago in Zagros Mountains in Iran. | |
| Ancient cultures and tribes began to breed them due to easy access to milk, wool, meat and hides. | |
| Domestic goats were generally kept in herds wandering on hills and other pastures, often cared for by goats, who were often children or teenagers, similar to the more widely known shepherd. These breeding methods are still used today. | |
| Carriages have been built in England since no later than the 16th century. | |
| Although carriages simply consisted of parallel wooden boards, they allowed the horses to reach higher speeds and draw heavier loads, than on the somewhat rougher roads of that time. | |
| Spalls appeared early enough to keep the tracks on location. Poiomete nevertheless became clear that tracks would be more effective if they had an iron strip above. | |
| This became a popular practice, but iron led to faster wear of wooden wheels of the cars. | |
| Finally, wooden wheels were replaced by iron. In 1767, the first completely iron rails were introduced. | |
| The earliest known transportation was by step, people began to go vertically two million years ago with the emergence of Homo erectus (meaning vertical human being). | |
| Their predecessors, australopithecas, did not go vertically as often. | |
| Two-footed specialization is found at fossils of australian epithels from 4.2-3.9 million years ago, although Sahel anthropologists are believed to have gone on two feet as early as seven million years ago. | |
| We can begin to relate more cordially to the environment, we can join the environmental movement and we may even be activists to to some extent reduce the future suffering. | |
| This is like anti-symptomatic medication in many cases. However, if we want not only a temporary solution, then we must find the causes of the problems and we must disable them. | |
| Of course, the world has greatly changed scientific and technological achievements of humanity, and problems have become greater due to overpopulation and wasteful humanity's life. | |
| After Congress accepted it on 4 July, a handwritten draft signed by the congressional president John Hancock and the secretary Charles Thomson was sent to John Dunlap's printing house, a few neighbourhoods away. | |
| At night, 150 to 200 copies were made, now known as "Posters of Dunlap". | |
| The first public reading of the document was accomplished by John Nixon in the courtyard of Independence Hall on 8 July. | |
| One was sent on 6 July to George Washington, who had read it to his troops in New York City on 9 July. Copy came to London on 10 August. | |
| Dunlap's 25 posters that are known to exist are the oldest remaining copies of the document. | |
| Today many paleontologists believe that one group of dinosaurs has survived and now live. We call them birds. | |
| Many people don't think of them as dinosaurs, because they have plumage and can fly. | |
| But there are many things about birds that still resemble a dinosaur. | |
| They have legs with scales and claws, they lay eggs and they go on their two back legs, like a tyrosaurus. | |
| Almost all computers currently used are based on data processing, which is coded in the form of binary numbers. | |
| A binary number may have only one of two values, i.e. 0 or 1, and these numbers are called binary digits - or bits, using computer slang. | |
| Internal poisoning may not be immediately obvious. Symptoms such as vomiting are general enough to prevent immediate diagnosis. | |
| The best indication of internal poisoning may be presence of an open container of a drug or toxic operating chemical. | |
| Check the label on specific instructions on first aid for this specific poison. | |
| The term bug is formally used by entomologists for this group of insects. | |
| The term derives from longstanding familiarity with lithocymes, which are insects highly adapted to parasitizing humans. | |
| Ravens and bedbugs are both nidicolic, adapted to living in their host's nest or accommodation. | |
| Throughout the United States there are about 400,000 known cases of multiple sclerosis (MS), which makes it the leading neurological disorder between young and middle-aged adults. | |
| MS is a disease that affects the central nervous system that consists of the brain, spinal cord and the optical nerve. | |
| Research has found that women have a twice as high probability of attaining MS than men. | |
| A couple may decide that growing a child does not comply with their interests, or interests of their child, best. | |
| Such couples may choose to plan an adoption for their baby. | |
| During an adopted procedure, the biological parents stop their parental rights so that another couple can become parents of the child. | |
| The main goal of science is to understand by way of a scientific method how the world works. This method actually guides most of scientific research. | |
| It is however not alone; also an experiment, and an experiment is a test used to remove one or more possible hypotheses, questioning and observation guide scientific research. | |
| Naturalists and philosophers have concentrated their attention on texts and especially on Bible in Latin. | |
| Aristotle's views on all topics of science were accepted, including psychology. | |
| While proficiency of the Greek declining, the West turned out to be separated from its Greek philosophical and scientific roots. | |
| Many observed rhythms in physiology and behavior often critically depend on the presence of endogenous cycles and how the biological clock produces them. | |
| Periodic rhythms, which do not simply respond to the external periodic stimuli, have been documented for most living beings, including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. | |
| Biological clocks are self-sufficient oscillators that continue a period of recurrent self-contained functioning even without external stimuli. | |
| Hershey and Chase's experiment was one of the leading assumptions that DNA is genetic material. | |
| Hershey and Chase used bacteriophages, or viruses, to implant their DNA into a bacterium. | |
| They conducted two experiments, marking either the DNA in the bacteriophagus with radioactive phosphorus or the bacteriophagus' protein with radioactive sulfur. | |
| Mutations can have a spectrum of various effects depending on the type of mutation, of the importance of the enveloped piece of genetic material and of this, whether the enveloped cells are cells of a germ line. | |
| Only mutations in the cells of a germine line can pass to children, while mutations in other areas may lead to death from cell or cancer. | |
| Nature-based tourism attracts people interested in visiting natural areas to enjoy the visual, including a floral and faunal live nature. | |
| Among the examples of local activity are hunting, fishing, photography, birdwatching and visiting parks and studying information about the ecosystem. | |
| An example is visiting Borneo and there to photograph and learn about orangutans. | |
| Each morning people leave townships in cars to go to their place of work, and are overtaken by others, whose goal is the place they just left. | |
| In this dynamic commuting everyone is in some way involved and contributing in a transportation system based on the use of private cars. | |
| Science now indicates that this massive carbon economy has formed the biosphere of one of its stable states, which has been supporting human development over the last two million years. | |
| Each person participates in society and uses transportation systems. Almost everyone complains about transportation systems. | |
| In developed countries it is seldom heard a similar level of complaints about water quality or of collapse of bridges. | |
| Why do transportation systems follow such complaints, why do they fail every day? Are transportation engineers simply incompetent? | |
| Traffic flow is the study of moving separate drivers and vehicles between two points and the interactions between them. | |
| Unfortunately, studying traffic flow is difficult, as one cannot predict a driver's behavior with a hundred percent certainty. | |
| Fortunately, drivers tend to behave within a rather uniform arrangement; thus traffic flows strive to have some moderate uniformity and may be roughly presented mathematically. | |
| To present traffic flow better, one has established relationships between the three main characteristics: (1) flow, (2) density and (3) speed. | |
| These relationships help to plan, develop and operate road facilities. | |
| Insects were the first animals to fly. Their flight capacity helped them to avoid enemies and to find food and mates more efficiently. | |
| Most insects have the advantage of the ability to fold their wings along the body. | |
| This gives them a broader choice of small hiding places against predators. | |
| Today the only insects that cannot fold back the wings are libels and ephemerals. | |
| A thousand years ago, a man named Arisarch said the Solar System was moving around the Sun. | |
| Some people thought he was right, but many believed the opposite: that the Solar System moves around the Earth, including the Sun (and even the other stars). | |
| It didn't feel like the Earth was moving, did it? | |
| Amazon is Earth's second longest and largest river. It carries more than 8 times as much water as the second largest river. | |
| Amazon is also the broadest river on Earth, sometimes six miles wide. | |
| A total of 20 percent of the water that flows into the oceans from the planet's rivers comes from Amazon. | |
| The main river Amazon is 6387 km (3980 miles) long. It collects water from a few thousand smaller rivers. | |
| Although construction of pyramids of stone lasted until the end of the Old Empire, no one ever managed to surpass the pyramids of Giza in terms of the size and technical prowess of their construction. | |
| Egyptians of the New Empire were amazed at the monuments of their predecessors, who were then much more than a thousand years old. | |
| The population of the Vatican is about 800 people. It is the smallest independent state in the world and the state with the smallest population. | |
| Vatican City uses the Italian language in its laws and official relations. | |
| Italian is also the everyday language used by most people who work in the state, while Latin is often used in religious ceremonies. | |
| All citizens of the Vatican City are Roman Catholics. | |
| Humans knew of the basic chemical elements—such as gold, silver and copper—of antiquity, because these are found in a natural form and are relatively easily mined with primitive tools. | |
| Philosopher Aristotle theorized that everything consisted of a mixture of one or more of four elements. It was earth, water, air and fire. | |
| This was more like the four states of matter (in the same order): solid, liquid, gas and plasma, although he continued to theorize that they become new substances to form what we see. | |
| An alloy is essentially a mixture of two or more metals. Don't forget that in the periodic table there are many elements. | |
| Elements like calcium and potassium are considered metals. Of course, there are metals such as silver and gold. | |
| One can also have alloys, in whose composition there are small amounts of non-metallic elements like carbon. | |
| All in the universe is made of matter. All matter is made up of small particles called atoms. | |
| Atoms are so incredibly small that millions of them could move into a point at the end of this sentence. | |
| So the pencil was a good help for many people when it appeared. | |
| Unfortunately, due to emergence of new ways of writing, the pencil has slipped out for less status and use. | |
| People now write messages on computer monitors, without ever needing to approach a pencil taper. | |
| One can only wonder what the keyboard will become when something new comes. | |
| The fission bomb works according to such a principle that it takes energy to compose a nucleus with many protons and neutrons. | |
| It is like pushing a heavy cart up a slope. Slit the nucleus so release some of that energy again. | |
| Some atoms have unstable nuclei, which means they tend to decay by a slight or zero point. | |
| The surface of the Moon consists of stones and dust. The outer layer of the Moon is called the crust. | |
| The crust is about 70 km thick on the nearby side and 100 km thick on the hidden side. | |
| It is thicker under the seas and thicker under the mountains. | |
| There may be more seas on the nearby side, because the crust is less thick. It was easier for lava to pour out on the surface. | |
| Content theories focus on finding what causes people to act or challenge them. | |
| These theories suggest that people have certain needs and/or desires that were internalized during maturity to adulthood. | |
| These theories explore what is about certain people, what makes them want the things they do, and what things around them will make them do or not do certain things. | |
| Two popular content theories are Hierarchy of Needs by Maslow and Two-Factor Theory by Hertzberg. | |
| Generally speaking, two ways of conduct can appear when administrators begin to guide their former equals. One edge of the spectrum is an effort to remain "one of the friends" (or friends). | |
| This type of management is difficult to make unpopular decisions, perform disciplinary actions, assess performance of work, task and demand responsibility of people. | |
| On the other side of the spectrum, one transforms into an unrecognizable individual who feels that he or she must change everything that the team has done before, and appropriate it. | |
| Finally, the leader is responsible for the team's success or failure. | |
| Often such behavior results in cracks between the leaders and the rest of the team. | |
| Virtual teams follow the same standards of high quality, as traditional teams, but are select differences. | |
| Members of virtual teams often serve as a point of contact of their immediate physical group. | |
| They often have more autonomy than members of a traditional team, as their teams can meet according to various time zones, which can be ununderstood by their local administrators. | |
| The presence of a true “invisible team” (Larson and LaFast, 1989, p109) is also a unique component of a virtual team. | |
| The "invisible team" is the administrative team to which each of the members reports. The invisible team maintains standards for each member. | |
| Why would an organization want to pass the time-tasting process of setting up a learning organization? One goal to practice the concepts of organizational learning is innovation. | |
| When all available resources are effectively used through the functional areas of organization, creativity and engineering can emerge. | |
| As a result, when an organization works together to overcome obstacles, it can lead to a new innovative process to cater to the needs of customers. | |
| Before an organization can be innovative, leadership must create a culture of innovation and also of shared knowledge and organizational learning. | |
| Angel (2006) explains the Continuous approach as a method used to help organizations achieve a higher level of performance. | |
| Neurobiological data delivers physical proof for a theoretical approach to cognitive research. It therefore narrows the research area and makes it more accurate. | |
| The correlation between brain pathology and behavior causes scientists to continue the research. | |
| It is a long-term known fact that various types of brain damage, traumas, lesions and tumors affect behavior and alter some mental functions. | |
| The advancement of new technologies allows you to see and explore brain structures and processes that have never been seen before. | |
| This provides us with a lot of information and material to build simulation models that help us understand processes in our mind. | |
| Although AI has a strong nuance of scientific fiction, AI forms a very important branch of computer science, which engages in learning and intelligent adaptation in a machine. | |
| Research in AI envelops production of machines to automate tasks that require intelligent behavior. | |
| Among examples are control, planning and scheduling, ability to answer customer's diagnostics and questions, as well as recognizing handwriting, voice and face. | |
| These issues became separate disciplines, which concentrate on providing solutions to problems of real life. | |
| AI systems are now commonly used in the branches of economics, medicine, engineering and warfare, it is also embedded in some home computers and video game software applications. | |
| Excursions are an important part of any teaching. Often a teacher would like to take his students to places unreachable by bus. | |
| Technology offers a solution in the form of virtual tours. Students can view museum artifacts, visit an aquarium or admire beautiful art while sitting in their classroom. | |
| Sharing a trip virtually is another great way to think about travel and to familiarize experiences with future classes. | |
| For example, every year students from Bennet School in North Carolina produce a web page about their trip to the state capital, a new version of the web site appears, but the old versions remain accessible to serve as an album. | |
| Also blogs can help improve writing in students. While students often start their blog experience with a messy grammar and orthography, the presence of the public generally changes that. | |
| Since students are often the most critical public, the blogger is excusing to improve his writing to avoid criticism. | |
| Blogging also "makes pupils become more sympathetic about the world around them." The need to nurture interest of the public inspire pupils to be wise and interesting (Toto, 2004). | |
| Blogging is an instrument that inspires cooperation and encourages students to learn outside the traditional school day. | |
| Due use of blogs "can enable students to become more analytic and critical; actively responding to online materials, students can define their positions in the context of other people's writing and also outline their own viewpoint on certain problems (Oravec, 2002). | |
| Ottawa is a charming bilingual capital of Canada and has a set of art galleries and museums, which depict past and present from Canada. | |
| Further south is the Niagara Falls and the north is home to the untouched natural beauty of Muskoka and beyond. | |
| These and more things highlight Ontario as what outsiders think essentially Canadian. | |
| Vast areas further north are fairly sparsely populated, some are almost uninhabited wilderness areas. | |
| The following comparison of populations surprises many: there are more African Americans in the United States than Canadian citizens in total. | |
| The Islands of East Africa are located on the Indian Ocean, on the African east bank. | |
| Madagascar is incomparably the widest and, in relation to the wildlife, it is an independent continent. | |
| The majority of the smaller islands are countries independent or connected to France, and known as luxurious beach resorts. | |
| The Arabs also brought Islam to the region and it greatly took root in Comoros and Mayotte. | |
| The influence and colonialism of Europe began in the 15th century, when explorer Vasco da Gama of Portugal initiated the Cape route from Europe to India. | |
| The region borders the Sahel north and the Atlantic Ocean south and west. | |
| Women: It is recommended that all female travelers say they are married, regardless of the true marriage. | |
| It is also useful to wear a ring (but not the way it looks too expensive). | |
| Women notice that cultural differences can result in what would be viewed as harassment, and are not seldom followed, retained by the arm etc. | |
| Be firm when you disagree with propositions of men and do not be afraid to impede (no matter whether cultural or not, difference is not necessarily to be tolerated!). | |
| The modern city of Casablanca was founded by Berber fishermen in the 10th century BC, and it was used by Phoenicians, Romans and benimerins as a strategic port with the name Anfa. | |
| Destroyed by the Portuguese, it was rebuilt by them with the name Casa Branca, but they left after an earthquake in 1755. | |
| The city was rebuilt by the Sultan of Morocco under the name Daru l-Badya and the Spanish merchants, who set up trade centers there, named it Casablanca. | |
| In terms of shopping, Casablanca is among the most uninteresting places across Morocco. | |
| Around the old city centre it is easy to find stores of traditional Moroccan goods, for example tajins, ceramics, leathers, nargyles and a whole variety of brightenings, but everything is for tourists. | |
| Goma is a tourist city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the extreme east of Rwanda. | |
| In 2002 the volcano Nyiragongo destroyed Goma, covering with its magma the bulk of the urban street, primarily in the center of the town. | |
| Goma offers sufficient security, but one must be informed of each visit outside of it to know the state of the battles still occurring in the North Kivu province. | |
| The city is also the base to climb the volcano Nyiragongo in addition to the cheapest tracking of mountain gorillas in Africa. | |
| You can use a garage-boda (motorbike taxi) to drive through Goma. The normal (local) price is about 500 Congolese francs for the short journey. | |
| In addition to its relative inaccessibility, "Timbuktu" became bored as a metaphor of exotic and distant countries. | |
| Today, Timbuktu is a poor city, but it is a tourist attraction because of its reputation and it has an airport. | |
| In 1990 it was inscribed in the red list of world heritage sites due to the threatening sands from the desert. | |
| It was one of the most important stops during PBS' special program Wonders of the African World made by Henry Louis Gates. | |
| The city is very contrasted with the other cities of the country, as it has a style more Arabic than African. | |
| Kruger National Park (KNP) is in northeast South Africa and runs east along the border with Mozambique, north to Zimbabwe and south to Crocodile River. | |
| The park contains 19,500 km2 and is divided into 14 distinct ecozones, all of which support different wildlife. | |
| It presents one of the major tourist attractions in South Africa and is considered to be the most symbolic among the South African National Parks (SANPparks). | |
| Like all South African National Parks, there are day conservation fees for the park. | |
| It is also useful to buy Wild Card, which provides entry, either to select parks from South Africa or to all South African National Parks. | |
| The island of Hong Kong gives Hong Kong its name and it is the place that many tourists view as the most interesting. | |
| The line of buildings, which creates the Hong Kong skyline, was compared to a brilliant histogram, which is evident from the presence of the waters of Victoria Harbour. | |
| To get the best views to Hong Kong, leave the island and cross into the front, which is located on the coast of Kowloon. | |
| The vast majority of Hong Kong's urban growth is concentrated on land, which has been gained from the sea on the north coast. | |
| This is the place the British colonists took on, and therefore, if one seeks proof of the colonial past of the territory, this is a convenient place to seek out. | |
| Sundarbans is the world's largest seaside mangrove forest, extending 80 km (50 miles) across the coast onwards to Bangladesh and India. | |
| Sundarbans has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The part of the forest in the Indian territory is named Sundarbans National Park. | |
| The forest, however, is not just a swamp of mangroves. In it are some of the last refuges of the impressive jungles that once covered the Gangesian plain. | |
| Sundarbans cover an area of 3850 km2, of which about one third is covered by water or marshes. | |
| In 1966 Sundarbans became a reserve and it is estimated that in its territory there are currently 400 royal tigers of Bengal and about 30,000 seen deer. | |
| Buses depart from the inter-county bus station across the river all day, but the majority depart between the 6:30 and the 7:30, particularly those traveling west and to Jakar or Bumthang. | |
| As the inter-county buses are often crowded, it is advisable to buy a ticket a few days ago. | |
| The majority of the districts connect small Japanese buses Coaster, which are comfortable and durable. | |
| Common taxis are fast and comfortable transporters to travel to nearby locations, such as Paro (150 Nu) and Punakha (200 Nu). | |
| The Oyapock River Bridge is a staple bridge. It skips the Oyapock River, connecting the cities of Oiapoque in Brazil and Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock in French Guyana. | |
| The two towers are 83 metres high, it is 378 metres wide and it has two corridors 3,50 m wide. | |
| The vertical below the bridge is 15 meters away. The construction ended in August 2011, but it did not open to traffic until March 2017. | |
| It is scheduled that the bridge will be fully refurbished in September 2017, when the Brazilian customs crossings are completed. | |
| The guaraníes were the most notable indigenous group residing in this place, which is now eastern Paraguay, living as quasi-nomadic hunters, who also practised subsistence agriculture. | |
| The Chaco region was a site of other groups of indigenous tribes, such as the Guaycurú and Payaguá, who lived out of hunting, collecting and fishing. | |
| In the 16th century Paraguay, formerly under the name “The Great Province of Indias”, came into being as a result of the meeting of Spanish conquerors and the indigenous groups. | |
| The Spanish began an era of colonization, which lasted for three centuries. | |
| Since Asunción was founded in 1537, Paraguay has managed to retain much of its native character and identity. | |
| Argentina is known for its teams and players of polo are among the best in the world. | |
| The most important tournament in the year takes place in December in the Polish fields at Las Cañitas. | |
| You can also watch smaller tournaments and matches at other times of the year. | |
| Be informed at the Association Argentina of Poland's News of tournaments and where tickets from Polish matches are purchased. | |
| The official currency of the Falklands is the Falkland pound (FKP), whose value has been equated to that of the British pound (GBP). | |
| Money is subject to change in the single bank on the islands, which is located in front of the FIC West store in Stanley. | |
| All over the islands are generally accepted British pound and in Stanley credit cards and US dollars are often accepted. | |
| On the outer islands you probably won't accept credit cards, but you can take British and American money; ask first to know which payment method is accepted. | |
| As it is almost impossible to change Falkland's currency outside the islands, change the money before leaving. | |
| As Montevideo lies south of equator, in it is summer, when in the northern hemisphere is winter, and vice versa. | |
| Montevideo is in subtropical; in the summer months, temperature usually exceeds 30 °C. | |
| Winter can be deceptively cold: temperature rarely becomes frozen, but wind and humidity combine and therefore you feel colder than the thermometer indicates. | |
| There are no separate ‘rain’ and ‘dry’ seasons: the rainfall is almost the same throughout the year. | |
| Although many of the park's animals have become accustomed to the presence of humans, the animals are nonetheless wild and should not be fed or disturbed. | |
| The authorities of the park ask that one stay at least 100 yards/metres away from bears and wolves and 25 yards/metres away from all other wild animals! | |
| No matter how peaceful they look, the bisons, moose, deer, bears and almost all the animals are capable of attacking. | |
| Every year, dozens of visitors are injured because they are not adequate distance. Because these animals are large, wild and possibly dangerous, keep their space. | |
| Furthermore, be aware that odors attract bears and other wildlife, and therefore avoid bringing or cooking odour foods and keep the field clean. | |
| The city of Apia, the capital of Samoa, is located on the island of Upolu and only a little less than 40,000 people live in it. | |
| Apium was founded in the 1850s and became the capital of Samoa in 1959. | |
| The port was the site of the infamous naval confrontation in 1889, when seven ships from Germany, the United States and Britain refused to leave the port. | |
| All ships were sank, except for one British cruiser. About 200 Americans and Germans lost their lives. | |
| In the efforts to independence organized by the Mau movement, a peaceful meeting with the city led to the killing of the supreme chief Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III. | |
| Auckland has many beaches thanks to its location between two ports. The most popular are in three regions. | |
| The beaches of Noth Shore (in the North Port District) are at the Pacific Ocean and extend from Long Bay in the north to Devonport in the south. | |
| Almost all are sandy beaches where one can swim safely, and most have a shadow of pohutukava trees. | |
| The beaches of Tamaki Drive are at the port Waitemata Harbour in the upscale suburbs Mission Bay and Saint Heliers in Central Auckland. | |
| They are sometimes crowded family beaches where shops line abundantly along the shore. Swimming is safe. | |
| The main local beer is Number One. It is not a complex beer, but it is pleasant and refreshing. The other local beer is called Manta. | |
| There are many drinkable wines from France, but wines from New Zealand and Australia may come in better. | |
| It is safe to drink the local tap water, but bottled water is easy to find if you have concerns. | |
| The idea of “flat white” coffee to Australians is foreign. Expression is “short black”, a hooded woman wears a plentiful cream (not foam) and the tea is drunk without milk. | |
| The hot chocolate is in line with Belgium's standards. The juices are expensive but excellent. | |
| Throughout the year many excursions to the reef and injured for any of these causes are rare. | |
| Follow the advice of the authorities, obey all the signals and carefully pay attention to security warnings. | |
| Cuban zoos appear near beaches and estuaries, from October to April, north of 1770. They can occasionally appear outside that time. | |
| Sharks are indeed, but they rarely attack people. Most sharks are afraid of people and would begin to swim away from them. | |
| Sea crocodiles do not live actively in the sea. Their main habitat is estuaries north of Rockhampton. | |
| Early reservation gives travelers a peace of mind that they will have a dormitory upon arriving to their destination. | |
| Travel agents often have deals with specific hotels, but you may be able to reserve with such other types of accommodations, such as campgrounds. | |
| Travel agents generally convey plans that include breakfast, transportation arrangement to access and exit the airport, or even combined plans with flights and hotels. | |
| They may also hold your reserve if you need time to consider the offer or provide you with other documents for the intended location (for example a visa). | |
| All changes or requests must be directed first to the travel agent and not directly to the hotel. | |
| In some festivals, most of the attendees decide to camp on location and the majority consider this an essential part of the experience. | |
| If you want to be close to the thing, you will have to get in early to take a camping place beside the music. | |
| Remember that music on the main stages may have ceased, but there may be parts of the festival, where it will continue until late night. | |
| Some festivals provide special campgrounds to families with small children. | |
| If you navigate northern the Baltic Sea in winter, take care of the location of the cabin, as going through ice causes a rather horrendous noise in those most affected. | |
| Journey ships to Saint Petersburg include time in the city. Passengers from pleasure ships are free of visa (check the terms). | |
| Casinos are normally striving for the guests to spend the maximum of their time and money. Windows and clocks usually aren't and exits can be difficult to find. | |
| They usually offer special foods, drinks and diversions to keep guests cheerful and to keep them inside. | |
| Some places offer alcoholic beverages for free, but intoxication damages mental capability and every good gambler is aware of how important it is to be sobrie. | |
| Anyone who drives a vehicle into high latitudes or across mountain passes should be careful that there may be snow, ice or frost. | |
| On roads with ice or snow, friction is little and therefore one cannot drive as if on a naked asphalt. | |
| During snowstorms, the amount of snow capable of blocking you can fall very quickly. | |
| Visibility can also limit here snow falling or wind, this is condensation, this is ice on the windows of the vehicle. | |
| On the other hand, ice and snow weather is normal in many countries, but traffic flows mostly uninterruptedly throughout the year. | |
| Safari is perhaps the most attractive thing for tourists in Africa and this most prominent for many visitors. | |
| The word "safari" is popularly used with meaning of terrestrial travel to view the astonishing African fauna, especially in savanna. | |
| Some animals, such as elephants and giraffes, tend to approach cars, and ordinary tools provide a good look. | |
| Lions, pawns and leopards are sometimes shown to be timid, so binoculars will help you see them better. | |
| A walking safari (also called a "field march", "walking safari", or "walking") consists of walking, either for a few hours or for several days. | |
| Paralympics will be held between August 24 and September 5, 2021. Some events will be in other areas of Japan. | |
| After hosting the Games in 1964, Tokyo will become the only Asian city to host two summer Olympic Games. | |
| If you have booked the flights and dwellings for 2020, before the delay has been announced, you are probably in a complicated situation. | |
| Policies of cancellation are diverse, but in the case of late March, the majority of cancellation based on coronavirus does not extend until July 2020, when the Olympics are scheduled. | |
| It is expected that the tickets for the majority of the events will cost from 2500 to 130,000 yen, and that typical tickets will cost around 7000 yen. | |
| Glady moisture clothes can help them dry. Many hotels have lendable ironboards and ironboards, even if they are not in the room. | |
| If a gladiator is not available or if you do not want to wear ironed socks, you may try to use a dryer if it is available. | |
| Make sure the textile isn't too warm (which can shrink it or, in extreme cases, cause fire damage in it). | |
| There are different means of cleaning water, but some are more effective against specific threats. | |
| In some areas, enough boiling water for one minute, in others it takes several minutes. | |
| Filters have different efficacies and, if you care about it, so consider buying the water in a sealed bottle of a company with a good reputation. | |
| Travellers can experience animal pests that are unknown in their homelands. | |
| Plagues can damage foods, cause irritation or, worst of all, cause allergic reactions, spread poisons or transport infections. | |
| Infectious diseases themselves or dangerous animals capable of harming or killing a person by force, are generally not counted as plagues. | |
| Tax-free purchasing is the option to purchase goods exempted from taxes and excise taxes in certain areas. | |
| Travellers to countries with heavy taxation can sometimes save a considerable amount of money, especially at products like alcoholic beverages and tobacco. | |
| The section between Point Marion and Fairmont presents the most challenging driving conditions on the motorway Buffalo-Pittsburgh, sometimes crossing isolated forest areas. | |
| If you are not accustomed to driving through rural roads, be very careful: there are most steep slopes, narrow corridors and curved girders. | |
| Signal speed limits are significantly lower than those of previous and subsequent sections – often 35–40 mph (56–64 km/h) – and they are strictly obeyable, even more than otherwise. | |
| It is noteworthy that mobile service is nevertheless much stronger here than in many other sections of the road, for example Pennsylvania Wilds. | |
| German pastries are very delicious and in Bavaria they are very rich and different, similar to those of the neighbour in the south, Austria. | |
| There are many fruitful pastries that contain apples throughout the year, here are cherries and plums throughout the summer. | |
| Many German pastries also contain almonds, hazelnuts and other tree nuts. Popular cakes usually harmonize especially well with a cup of intense coffee. | |
| If you want a few small but rich cakes, taste those named Berliner, Pfannkuchen or Krapfen by region. | |
| A curry is a food consisting of herbs and spices with meat or vegetables. | |
| A curry can be either "dry" or "wet" depending on the amount of liquid. | |
| In inland regions of northern India and Pakistan, yogurt is usually added to curry goods; in southern India and some other coastal regions of the subcontinent, coconut milk is usually used. | |
| With 17,000 eligible islands, Indonesian cuisine is a cemetery covering a wide variety of regional cuisines across the country. | |
| Used without additional zoning words, the term generally means the cuisine coming from the central and eastern parts of the main island of Java. | |
| Now readily available throughout the island, Javanese cuisine consists of various spicy foods, with the flavors preferred by Javanese, that are peanuts, chili peppers, sugar (especially javanese coconut sugar) and various scent spices. | |
| Hang on both sides of the saddle, hiking serves as props at the rider's feet. | |
| They provide the rider greater stability, but they can pose security problems, as the rider's feet could possibly catch in them. | |
| If, while riding, one falls from a horse's foot trapped by a footing, one could be dragged by a possibly running horse. To minimize this risk, it is possible to make various safety arrangements. | |
| First, the majority of riders carry horse boots with heel and sole smooth and fairly narrow. | |
| Additionally, some saddles, primarily English saddles, have safety bars such that a falling rider can pull back to detain a footing strap from the saddle. | |
| Cochamó Valley: the most important location for climbing in Chile, known as the Yosemite of South America, with various granite walls and rocks. | |
| The summits depict amazing panoramas. Climbers from all over the world are constantly creating new roads from the endless possibilities of the walls. | |
| Downhill winter sports, which include skiing and snowboarding, are popular sports in which one slides down on snow-covered terrain having skis or snowboard attached to the feet. | |
| Skiing is an important travel activity with many fans who are known as “ski maniac” and who plan whole holidays based on skiing at a specific location. | |
| The idea of skiing is very old: cave paintings that depict skiers date back to 5000 BC! | |
| Downhill skiing is calculated as a sport of at least the 17th century and in 1861 Norwegians founded in Australia the first pleasure ski club. | |
| Backachurism by skis: This activity is also called field skiing, ski travel or ski migration. | |
| It refers to alpine-style ski migration or mountaineering, but it usually does not imply them because these latter occur on steep terrain and require much more rigid skis and boots. | |
| Think of the ski route, as if it were a migration route. | |
| In good conditions you will be able to cross distances a little larger than during walking, but only very rarely will you reach the speeds of skiing without a heavy backpack in run ways. | |
| Europe is a relatively small part of the world, but it has many independent countries. In normal circumstances, in order to travel across several countries, visa requests and passport checks are required. | |
| However, this area still works as if it were a single country. | |
| As long as one stays within this area, one can generally cross transitions without needing to pass pass passport checks. | |
| Similarly, if you have a shengen visa, you don't need to separately apply for a visa to every shengen country, which saves you time, money and bureaucracies. | |
| There is no universal definition of what kind of goods are antiquities. Some tax agencies count as antiquities that are over 100 years old. | |
| As the definition changes locally, in areas like North America age limit might be smaller than in Europe. | |
| It is possible to calculate meta-arts as antiquities, although they are newer than similar goods mass-made. | |
| Breeding reindeer is an important subsistence between the Sami and the culture around its trade is also important for many other craftsmen. | |
| Even in tradition, not all Sami nevertheless engaged in large-scale breeding of reindeer, but they lived out of fishing, hunting or something similar, using reindeer mainly as drawing animals. | |
| Nowadays many Sami work in modern jobs. Tourism offers important revenues to Sami, the Sami region. | |
| Although the word "gypsy" is widely used, especially by people not Roma, it is considered offensive because of its association to negative stereotypes and erroneous ideas about Roma. | |
| If one begins a trip warning against the country to be visited, this may affect your travel health insurance or your insurance against cancellation of a trip. | |
| It is also a good idea to consult the advice of foreign governments, although they are heading towards their own citizens. | |
| For example, U.S. citizens in the Middle East could encounter situations different from those hitting Europeans or Arabs. | |
| A warning is just a brief summary of a country's political situation. | |
| The views depicted are often superficial, general and too simple compared to the more detailed information one can have elsewhere. | |
| Severe weather is the general term for any hazardous weather phenomenon capable of causing harm, serious social disturbance or loss of human life. | |
| Severe weather can occur anywhere in the world and it consists of various types that depend on the location, the terrain and the atmospheric conditions. | |
| Windshield, hailing, excessive precipitations and forest fires are presentations and effects of severe weather, in addition to thunderstorms, tornadoes, trombos and cyclones. | |
| Among the regional and seasonal phenomena of severe weather are blizzards, snowstorms, winter storms and sandstorms. | |
| It is highly advisable that travelers pay attention to all kinds of severe weather that affects their area, as this can affect any travel plans. | |
| Any visitor to a country that might be counted as a war zone should receive professional training. | |
| An online search course for enemy environments is most likely to show the address of a local company. | |
| A course will generally cover much more in detail all the things here presented, normally with practical experience. | |
| One course will normally take 2 to 5 days and include casting, a lot of sugar and sometimes training in weapons. | |
| There are many books and magazines of survival in wilderness, but there are few such works on war zones. | |
| Travellers who are planning sex change operation abroad must ensure that they carry valid documents for the return. | |
| The will to deliver passports without an indicated genus (X) or updated documents agreed to a desired name varies from government to government. | |
| Whether other governments tend to accept these documents, this also varies tremendously. | |
| Researches in security control sites also became far more intrusive in the period post-September 11, 2001. | |
| Unoperated transgender do not expect to pass through the scanners without their privacy and dignity remaining untouched. | |
| Surf is a retrograde stream of waves broken at a beach, often at a reef or similar location. | |
| Due to the underwater diverse formations, the retroflow concentrates in a number of deeper sections, where there may be rapid flow to depth. | |
| The majority of deaths occur as a result of being tried to swim upstream, which can be impossible. | |
| As soon as you swim out of the stream, returning swimming is no more difficult than normal. | |
| Try to target a place where you will not be captured again, or, depending on your abilities or whether they noticed you, you may prefer to wait until they save you. | |
| The return shock occurs earlier than the cultural shock (the honeymoon phase is less), lasts longer and can be more severe. | |
| Travellers, who have easily adapted to the new culture, sometimes have a particular difficulty remastering to their native culture. | |
| Returning home after living abroad, you have already adapted to the new culture and lost some habits of the native culture. | |
| When you first traveled abroad, people probably had patience and understanding, because they realized that travellers needed to accommodate themselves to the new country. | |
| People can't predict that patience and understanding are also needed with regard to the travellers returning home. | |
| The pyramid show of sound and light is one of the most interesting children's things in the region. | |
| You can see the pyramids in the dark and you can see them in silence before the show starts. | |
| Here you will generally hear the sound of tourists and sellers. The range of sound and light is just like a novel. | |
| The sphinx is placed on the background and it is the narrator of a long story. | |
| The scenes are projected on the pyramids and illuminate the different pyramid. | |
| Discovered in 1819, Southern Shetland Islands are claimed by a number of countries and they have the majority of bases, sixteen active in 2020. | |
| The archipelago is 120 km north of the peninsula. The largest island is King George, on which is the settlement Villa Las Estrellas. | |
| Others are Livingston Island and Deception, whose flooded caldera of a still active volcano varies from a pronounced natural harbour. | |
| Country of Ellsworth is the region south of the peninsula, bordered by the sea of Bellingshausen. | |
| United with the plateau here, the mountain of the peninsula eventually re-emerges forming the mountain range of Ellsworth, which is 360 kilometres long and is bisected by the Minnesota glacier. | |
| The northern part or mountain range Sentinel has the highest mountains in Antarctica, the massive Vinson, whose peak Vinson is 4892 m high. | |
| In remote areas without access to a mobile network, a satellite phone can be the only means. | |
| A satellite phone is generally not a replacement for a mobile phone, as one must be outdoors at a clear view of a satellite to make a phone call. | |
| The service is often used by ships, including those enjoyable, as well as expeditions that have needs of remote data and voice. | |
| Your local service provider could also inform you about the connection to this service. | |
| For those who are planning a Saturday year, it is increasingly popular to travel and study. | |
| This is especially popular among those who end middle education, because it provides them a free year before going to university, without risking their education. | |
| In many cases, if you join a Saturday year course in a foreign country, that can actually improve your chances of progressing to higher education when you're going back to the homeland. | |
| Normally there will be an admission fee to join these educational programs. | |
| Finland is a great travel destination for boating. The “Land of a Thousand Lakes” also has thousands of islands in the lakes and in the coastal archipelago | |
| In the archipelago and in the lakes you don't necessarily need a yacht. | |
| Despite the fact that the coastal archipelagoes and the largest lakes are actually large enough for every yacht, smaller boats and even kayak give another experience. | |
| Boating is a national pastime in Finland: one of all seven or eight Finns owns a boat. | |
| Such popularity is only seen in Norway, Sweden and New Zealand. But it is a rather unique statistic (e.g. one in all forty people has a boat). | |
| The majority of the various Baltic cruise ships also include stay in Saint Petersburg, Russia. | |
| This means that you can fully use a few days to visit the historic city, returning at night on the ship to sleep there. | |
| If you are traveling only by boat trips, a particular visa is not required (since 2009). | |
| The booklets of some cruise ships include Berlin, in Germany. As seen above on the map, Berlin is not at all close to the sea and a visit to the city is not included in the price of the cruise. | |
| Traveling by plane can be scary experience no matter age and descent, especially if one has never flew or if one has experienced traumatic experience. | |
| This is not a disgraceful thing: it is not different from personal fears and dislikes that many people feel. | |
| For some people, understanding how an aircraft works, and what happens during a flight can help overcome fear that is based on the fact that things are not known or controlled. | |
| Courier companies receive good money against fast delivery of things. Time is often very important for business documents, goods or replacement pieces for urgent repair. | |
| In some lines, the larger companies provide their own aircraft, but there was a problem in other lines and small companies. | |
| If they sent things by freighted plane, in some routes could pass a few days in the execution of unload and customs. | |
| The only way to do this was to quickly send things as registered packages. According to airline regulations, you can't send a package without a related passenger, and here you take the opportunity. | |
| The most obvious way to fly in the first or business class is to spend a very large banknote package on the privilege (or, even better, your company should do so instead of you). | |
| However, this is not cheap: according to gross estimate, you can expect to pay up to four times the usual savings class rate for the business class and eleven times for the first class! | |
| Generally, it is not worth the effort to look for discounts for seats of business or first class for direct flights from A to B. | |
| Airlines well know that there is a certain core group of fliers who are willing to pay a lot for the privilege of traveling quickly and comfortably, and they pay in accordance with that. | |
| The capital of Moldova is Kishinevo. The local language is Romanian, but it is widely used in Russian. | |
| Moldova is a multi-ethnic republic that has suffered ethnic conflict. | |
| In 1994, this conflict led to the creation of a self-proclaimed Republic Transnistria to the east of Moldova, which has its own government and currency, but which no member state of the UN recognizes. | |
| The economic ties were resumed between these two parts of Moldova, although political negotiations failed. | |
| The most important religion in Moldova is Orthodox Christianity. | |
| Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey, with a population of about 3.7 million, the second largest port after Istanbul and a very good node of transport. | |
| Once the ancient city of Smyrna, it is now a modern, developed and vibrant commercial center, located at an enormous bay and surrounded by mountains. | |
| Among the broad boulevards, the buildings with glass fasans and the modern trade centers, separately appear traditional roofs of red teas, bazaars of the 18th century and old mosques and churches, but the city's atmosphere is more of Mediterranean Europe than of traditional Turkey. | |
| The village of Haldarsvík offers views to the nearby island of Eystoy and on it is an unusual octagonal church. | |
| On some graves in the church's courtyard are interesting marble sculptures of doves. | |
| It takes about half an hour to walk around the town. | |
| To the north and easily reachable, the romantic and fascinating city of Sintra, which began to be famous among foreigners when Lord Byron lauded its magnificent merits. | |
| Scotturb's bus line 403 regularly travels to Sintra, with a stop at Cabo da Roca. | |
| Also in the north visit the great Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima (holy shrine), which is the site of worldwide famous appearances of Mary. | |
| Please remember that you are essentially visiting a mass cemetery and also a place with almost incalculable significance for an important part of the inhabitants of the world. | |
| There are still many men and women who have survived their passage here and there are still more people who have had loved persons who have been killed or put to death there, whether Jews or not. | |
| Behave in the place with as much dignity, solitude and respect as it deserves. Do not joke about Holocaust or Nazis. | |
| Do not damage the location by markings or graffiti on the structures. | |
| The official languages of Barcelona are Catalan and Spanish. More or less half of the inhabitants prefer to speak Catalan, a large majority understand it and almost all speak Spanish. | |
| But most posts are only in Catalan, because the law declared it the first official language. | |
| Spanish is also widely used in public transport and other services. | |
| In the subway the regular announcements are made only in Catalan, but the unplanned interruptions are announced with an automatic system in many languages, such as Spanish, English, French, Arabic and Japanese. | |
| Residents of Paris have gained a reputation of self-centered, unfriendly and proud people. | |
| • This is often just an inaccurate stereotype, but the best way to keep smooth relationships with Parisians is to behave as if one were "bien elevé" (well educated). This will make the journey much easier. | |
| The ruthless ways of Parisians will quickly evaporate if one shows basic courtesy. | |
| The national park Plitvic lakes have abundant forests, mainly of beeches, spruces and firs, and it presents a mix of alpine and Mediterranean vegetations. | |
| The diversity of vegetarian communities is dramatically high due to the range of microclimates, diverse terrain and different elevations. | |
| The region is also home to extremely diverse animals and bird species. | |
| There you can find rare wildlife, such as European brown bears, wolves, eagles, owls, linces, wild cats and urgals, in addition to many more common species. | |
| During a visit to the monasteries, women must wear knee-length skirts as well as cover their shoulders. | |
| Most monasteries do provide linens to women who have arrived at all costs, but the monk or nun at the entrance will smile at you, if you bring your own linen, especially if it is bright-colored. | |
| Likewise, men must wear knee-length trousers. | |
| This can also be borrowed from the warehouse at the entrance, but do not wash those clothes after each use, and therefore you may not feel comfortable if you use these skirts. There is one measure for all men! | |
| Majorca cuisine, like those of similar Mediterranean regions, has as base bread, vegetables and meat (especially of pig) and it uses olive oil everywhere. | |
| A simple popular dinner, especially in the summer, is "pa amb oli": bread with olive oil, tomato and any available additive, such as cheese, tuna etc. | |
| Every sense, in addition to the word Sie meaning you, always starts in majuscule, even in the middle of a sentence. | |
| This is an important way to distinguish a number of verbs and objects. | |
| Probably it also makes reading easier, but writing becomes a bit more complicated because it is necessary to know whether a verb or an adjective is used in the substantive form. | |
| Pronunciation is relatively easy in Italian, as most of the words are pronounced exactly as they are written. | |
| The principally noticeable letters are c and g, as their pronunciation changes depending on the subsequent vowel. | |
| Additionally, one must pronounce r and rr differently: Tsar means kart, while root means cart. | |
| The grammar of the Persian language is relatively easy and regular in most cases. | |
| That's why the reading of this grammatical introduction would help you learn a lot of Persian grammar and understand sentences better. | |
| It is not necessary to say that if you speak a Romance language, this will make learning Portuguese easier. | |
| But people who speak Spanish can quickly conclude that Portuguese is so close that it is not worth learning separately. | |
| Generally, pre-modern observatories are today outdated and they remain as museums or educational institutions. | |
| Because then light pollution was not as it is today, they are generally located in cities or at universities, places easier to access than those where the built in modern times. | |
| The most modern telescopes for research are enormous facilities in remote areas under favorable atmospheric conditions. | |
| Watching cherry flowers, aka Hanami, is part of Japan's culture since the 8th century. | |
| The concept came from China, where the plum flower was the preferred flower. | |
| In Japan, the first cherry blossom celebrations were held only for himself and for other aristocrats around the imperial court. | |
| As plants look best in the wild, do not yield to the temptation to remove specimens, not even one. | |
| If you visit a formally arranged garden, a collection of “samples” will also cause your expulsion without discussion. | |
| Singapore is generally a safe and very easy to explore. There you can buy almost anything. | |
| But, as you will be in the “high tropics”, only a few degrees north of the equator, you will have to fight the heat (always) and the strong sun (when the sky is clear, less often). | |
| There are also a number of buses going north to Hebron, the traditional burial place of the patriarchs of the Bible, Isaac and Jacob and their wives. | |
| Be sure of whether the bus you want to use arrives in Hebron and not only the adjacent Jewish settlement Kiryat Arba. | |
| Inland waterways can be a good theme on which holidays are based. | |
| Thus, for example, it would be possible to visit castles in the Loire Valley or the Rhine Valley, or to go cruisers to interesting cities on the Danube or by boat along the Erie Canal. | |
| They also specify routes of known roads for migration and biking. | |
| Christmas is one of the most important holidays of Christianity. It celebrates the birthday of Jesus. | |
| Non-believers living in Christian countries or elsewhere in the world have adopted many of the traditions about this festival. | |
| Traditionally, the Easter night is spent awake in an outer place to see the sunrise. | |
| Of course there are Christian theological explanations for this tradition, but it could be a pre-Christian ritual of spring and fertility. | |
| On the Saturday night of the Easter weekend, more traditional churches often hold an Easter vigil and the congregations begin at midnight to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. | |
| All the animals that first came to the island came either by swimming, flying or floating. | |
| Due to the long distance between the islands and the continent, mammals could not make such a journey and therefore the giant turtle became the main grazing animal on the Galápagos Islands. | |
| Since their arrival, humans have introduced many mammals into Galápagos, including goats, horses, cows, rats, cats and dogs. | |
| If you visit the Arctic or Antarctic regions in winter, you will experience a polar night, that is, the sun will not rise above the horizon. | |
| This offers a good chance to see the boreal aurora, because the sky will be dark almost always. | |
| You can also enjoy the stars, because these regions are sparsely populated and therefore light pollution is usually not a problem. | |
| Japanese working culture is more hierarchical and formal than one, to which Westerners may be accustomed. | |
| Costumes are the normal workwear and entrepreneurs address each other with surnames or job titles. | |
| Workplace harmony is most important, as well as an emphasis on group effort rather than praise of individual achievements. | |
| Workers usually must receive the approval of their superiors for all decisions made and they must obey the instructions undisputedly. | |
