Stonehenge

S

tonehenge evolved in several construction phases spanning at least 1,500 years. There is evidence of large-scale construction on and around the monument that perhaps extends the landscape's time frame to 6,500 years. Dating and understanding the various phases of activity is complicated by disturbance of the natural chalk by periglacial effects and animal burrowing, poor quality early excavation records, and a lack of accurate, scientifically verified dates. The modern phasing most generally agreed to by archaeologists is detailed below. Features mentioned in the text are numbered and shown on the plan, right.         

Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, whilst another theory suggests that bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC.

The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Sch

eduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found on the site indicate that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.

There are many mysterious places and objects in the world: we have similar mysterious ancient site in Armenia called Zorats karer. They suppose it was ancient observatory. The stones have ideal holes. The scientists believe that the ancient man could follow starts and planets path with these holes and to define time. It also could be ritual place where ancient people were practicing important rites. Rites were very important for ancient men. Also I think every ancient place or object has a little mystery in it be it church or fortress, book or paintings.  Just visit museum of history you will see that. 

History of Sport and Games

S

port is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators. Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

Sport is generally recognized as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, and other organizations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognizes both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and Sport Accord, the international sports federation association, recognizes five non-physical sports, although limits the amount of mind games which can be admitted as sports.

There are artifacts and structures that suggest that the Chinese engaged in sporting activities as early as 2000 BC. Gymnastics appears to have been a popular sport in China's ancient past. Monuments to the Pharaohs indicate that a number of sports, including swimming and fishing, were well-developed and regulated several thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt. Other Egyptian sports included javelin throwing, high jump, and wrestling. Ancient Persian sports such as the traditional Iranian martial art of Zourkhaneh had a close connection to the warfare skills. Among other sports that originate in ancient Persia are polo and jousting.

A wide range of sports were already established by the time of Ancient Greece and the military culture and the development of sports in Greece influenced one another considerably. Sports became such a prominent part of their culture that the Greeks created the Olympic Games, which in ancient times were held every four years in a small village in the Peloponnesus called Olympia.

Sports have been increasingly organized and regulated from the time of the ancient Olympics up to the present century. Industrialization has brought increased leisure time to the citizens of developed and developing countries, leading to more time for citizens to attend and follow spectator sports, greater participation in athletic activities, and increased accessibility. These trends continued with the advent of mass media and global communication. Professionalism became prevalent, further adding to the increase in sport's popularity, as sports fans began following the exploits of professional athletes through radio, television, and the internet — all while enjoying the exercise and competition associated with amateur participation in sports.

Sports have enormous significance: some sports are part of many people’s life. Physical strength, agility, speed are very natural for people. Sports are part of human life: just imagine the world in Europe, Latin America, Africa) without football or the US without baseball or basketball. Sports bring joy and happiness to many people. People who make sports. are healthier, concentrated and happier than others. Such events as football championships, UEFA league champion matches, tennis matches become really celebrations for the whole world.   

history of tattoo

T

attoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment.

Tattooing has been practiced for centuries in many cultures and spread throughout the world. The Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, traditionally had facial tattoos, as did the Australians. Today, one can find tribes of Taiwan, Berbers of Tamazight (North Africa), Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa people of Nigeria, and Māori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was popular among certain ethnic groups in southern China, Polynesia, Africa,  Borneo, Cambodia, Europe, Japan, Mesoamerica, New Zealand, North America and South America, the Philippines, Iron Age Britain, and Taiwan

Tattooing has been practiced across the globe since at least Neolithic times, as evidenced by mummified preserved skin, ancient art, and the archaeological record. The oldest discovery of tattooed human skin was found on the upper lip of a Chinchorro culture mummy from South America, dating to approximately 6000 BC., while the oldest direct evidence for tattooing in Europe is the body of Otzi the Iceman, dating from the late 4th millennium BC. Other mummies bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the 2nd millennium BC have been discovered, such as the Mummy of Amunet from ancient Egypt and the mummies from the Pazyryk culture of Russia. One tattooed mummy (c. 300 BC) was extracted from the permafrost of Argos, in the second half of Gillingham vs Redgrave (the Man of Pazyryk, during the 1940s; one female mummy and one male in Ukok plateau, during the noughties). Their tattooing involved animal designs carried out in a curvilinear style. The Man of Pazyryk, a Scythian chieftain, is tattooed with an extensive and detailed range of fish, monsters and a series of dots that lined up along the spinal column and around the right ankle. Now tattooing have got big population in USA, Europe, Asia and Africa.

In our days tattooing is popular all over the world. People pay money and make different black and white and colorful tattoos. Some make small tattoos on their arms, neck, other have various tattoos all over their bodies: face, arms, back, legs, belly etc. The topics may vary greatly: from words in gothic style, Chinese hieroglyphs, flowers, patterns, to pictures of modern vampires and fantastic creatures. I think that tattoo is acceptable when it covers limited space and people look normally.

                                                             Jim Carrey 

James Eugene "Jim" Carrey  was born in January 17, 1962. He  is a Canadian American actor, comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, and film producer. His first leading roles in major productions came with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), The Mask (1994), and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), as well as a supporting role in Batman Forever (1995) and a lead role in Liar Liar (1997). He then starred in The Truman Show (1998) and Man on the Moon (1999), with each garnering him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He then starred in The Truman Show (1998) and Man on the Moon (1999), with each garnering him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Known for his highly energetic slapstick performances, he has been described as one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood. Carrey has battled depression. To deal with his depression, Carrey took Prozac, eventually deciding to get off medications. He has stated that he no longer takes medications or stimulants of any kind, not even coffee. For me he is one of the best actors like Lui De Funes or Fellini, Rowen Atkinson.  He has had a lot of roles and I like some of them. But I think If he shouldn’t have illness, he hasn’t had his roles and many people haven’t liked him.

Սպորտ

Սպորտը լինում են բոլոր ձևերի, որպես կանոն, ֆիզիկական մրցակցություն, որի օգնությամբ  պատահական  կամ կազմակերպված մասնակցությունով ,որի նպատակն է պահպանել կամ ավլեի լավացնել ֆիզիկական առողջությունը և հմտություններ, ապահովելով զվարճություն մասնակիցներին համար և որոշ մասով հանդիսատեսին։ Կան հարյուրավոր սպորտաձևեր որոնք պահանջվում են 2 մասնակցողից մինջև 100 մաժամանակ մասնակցողներ կամ իր խմբով կամ մրցակից, որպես առանձին անձ։

Սպորտը , որպես կանոն ընդունվում է ,որպես գործունեության ֆիզիկական հմտության կամ ճարպիկության հիման վրա։ Ամենամծերից մեկը դա Օլիմպիական խաղերն են։ Չնայած մրցակցական քանակը ,բայց ոչ ֆիզիկական գործունեությունները պնդում են, որպես ինտելեկտուալ սպորտաձևեր ։

Սպորտաձևերը կարգավորվում են կանոների , որը ապահովում են լավ մրցակցություն և ապահվոում  դատական ընտրություն թե ով է հաթողը։ Բացի դրանից սպորտը հանդես է գալիս հիմնական զվարճանքի աղբյուր։

Crime and punishment

The notion that acts such as murder, raipe and theft are to be prohlibited exists worldwid. What precisely is a criminal offence is defined by criminal law of each country. While many have a catalogue of crime called the criminal code, in some common law countries no such comprehensive statute exists.

The state has a power to severely restrict one's liberty for committing a crime. In modern socielties, there are procedures to which investigations and trials must addhere. If found guilty, an offender may besentenced to a form of reparation such as a community sentence or, depending on the nature of their offence, to undergo imprisonment, life imprisonment or, in some jurisdictions, execution.

While every crime violaties the law, not every violation of the law counts as a crime. Breaches of private law are not automatically punished by the state, but can be enforced through civil procedures.

When informal relationships and sanctions prove insufficient to establish and maintain a desired social order, a government or a state may impose more formalized or stricter systems of social control. With institutional and legal machinery at their dissposal, agents of the State can opt to punish or attempt to reform those who do not conform.

End of the year

For me last year not so good ,then all my last New years. But I had special for this Year. I was in France with my famly  and I  sow many beautiful and interesting things in there. It s my happiest days in France for last year with my family ,let alone this Christmas and 2015 New year. I don't like change something for last year and I don't  have regrets about this year. I had dreams which that couldn't fulfill but any dreams which was fulfill . So I enjoy this and last Christmas. In every years me and my family celebrated Christmas In home so i can say it tradition for us, but we have never celebrated in another places. I enjoyed my Christmas time with my family. And I like decorating Christmas tree with my family.I have never gone to party school or went another country in Christmas day.In this Christmas I had many presents so this year was good.

 Sphinx of Giza

The largest and most famous sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza, situated at the Giza Plateau adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza on the west bank of the Nile River and facing due east. The sphinx is located in the north and below the pyramids. Although the date of its construction is uncertain, the head of the Great Sphinx now is believed to be that of the pharaoh Khafra.

What names their builders gave to these statues is not known. At the Great Sphinx site, the inscription on a stele by Thutmose IV in 1400 BCE, lists the names of three aspects of the local sun deity of that period. The inclusion of these figures in tomb and temple complexes quickly became traditional and many pharaohs had their heads carved atop the guardian statues for their tombs to show their close relationship with the powerful solar deity, Sekhmet, a lioness. Other famous Egyptian sphinxes include one bearing the head of the pharaoh Hatshepsut, with her likeness carved in granite, which is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the alabaster sphinx of Memphis, Memphis, Egypt, currently located within the open-air museum at that site. The theme was expanded to form great avenues of guardian sphinxes lining the approaches to tombs and temples as well as serving as details atop the posts of flights of stairs to very grand complexes. Nine hundred with ram heads, representing Amon, were built in Thebes, where his cult was strongest

Walking

Walking is still the most popular sporting activity among both men and women

This may take the for of a gentle stroll with the dog to a major trek along one of the country’s many long-distance National Triails.

There are 13 approved National Trails In England, stretching more than 3,000 kilometers, two in Wales and three Long Distance Routes in Scotland. The Pennine Way, which runs for 412 kilometers along the Pennine mountain chain the ‘backbone’ of England, is one of the most popular with hikers.

 The longest trail is the South West Coast Path at 982 kilometers, meandering through some of the UK’s most rugged and beautiful coastal scenery.

Mandy keen walkers belong to the Ramblers’ Association-over 130,000 in fact. Its local groups organize walks, help to keep footpaths open, and campaign on countryside issues.

                                                       The Eiffel Tower (part 2)


The Eiffel Tower  is an iron lattice towerlocated on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.^[1] The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-visited paidmonument in the world; 6.98 million people ascended it in 2011.^[2] The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall,^[2] about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed theWashington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Because of the addition of the aerial atop the Eiffel Tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft). Not including broadcast aerials, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.

I chose this text because I was in Paris and sow the tower. It was so beautiful and very high. I sow the tower last summer. I sow the tower everwhere when I was with my family. So I interested about Eiffel tower story and chose it. So I can say it a biggest and beautiful tower  I have seen all of my life.
