On New Year's Day, people in certain countries gather on beaches and run into the water to celebrate the new year. Ireland, Britain, United States and Australia are the most popular countries for this. These events are sometimes known as polar bear plunges, and are sometimes organized by groups to raise money for charity. Polar Bear Clubs in many northern hemisphere cities near bodies of water, have a tradition of holding organized plunges on New Year's Day. The Coney Island Polar Bears Club in New York is the oldest cold-water swimming club in the United States. They have had groups of people enter the chilly surf since 1903.
In England and Scotland an extra round of football fixtures is played (unless New Year's Day falls on a Thursday, Friday or Sunday).
In Pasadena, California, United States, the Tournament of Roses is held, with revelers viewing the parade from the streets and watching on television, followed by the Rose Bowl college football game. The game is one of several postseason bowl games played in college football in the United States (though in 2004 and 2006, due to its involvement in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the Rose Bowl game was not held on New Year's Day).

In the southern United States, people traditionally prepare a meal of collard greens and black-eyed peas for a year of good luck. A dime is often placed beneath the plate as a part of the tradition.
Ski jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany, a part of the Four Hills Tournament.
In Pennsylvania and Ohio, it is common[who?] to celebrate New Year's Day with a meal of pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes. The practice comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition that dictates these foods will bring good luck in the new year.

The New Year's Day Parade is held in London. Performers include acts from each of the city's 32 boroughs, as well as entertainment from around the world.
This day is traditionally a religious feast, but since the 1900s has become an occasion for celebration the night of December 31, called New Year's Eve. There are often fireworks at midnight. Depending on the country, individuals may be legally allowed to burn fireworks, even if it's usually outlawed the rest of the year.
It is also customary to make New Year's resolutions, which individuals hope to fulfill in the coming year. The most popular resolutions in the western world include to quit tobacco smoking, stop excessive drinking of alcohol, lose weight, and get physically fit.
Fireworks in New York City
Independence Day fireworks displays are one of the most popular celebrations of patriotism during the year in the United States. This display, on Fourth of July, 1984, celebrated Independence Day as well as the centennial anniversary of the completion of the Statue of Liberty.

Related to
Lincoln's Birthday
Many American schools use the days leading up to Presidents Day to educate students about the history of the Presidents of the United States, especially Washington and Lincoln.
The holiday is also a tribute to the general who created the first military badge of merit for the common soldier. Revived on Washington's 200th birthday in 1932, the Purple Heart recognizes injuries received in battle. Like Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Washington's Birthday weekend offers another opportunity to honor the country's veterans.
In Alabama, the third Monday in February commemorates the birthdays of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (who was born in April).
In Arkansas, the third Monday in February is "George Washington's Birthday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day," an official state holiday.
In New Mexico, President's Day, at least as a state government paid holiday, is observed on the Friday following Thanksgiving. In 2007, the country celebrated both Washington's 275th birthday and the 75th anniversary of the rebirth of the Purple Heart medal.
Since 1862, there has been a tradition in the United States Senate that George Washington's Farewell Address be read on his birthday. Citizens had asked that this be done in light of the approaching Civil War. The annual tradition continues with the reading of the address on or near Washington's Birthday.

Another tradition is to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers usually place an American flag upon each grave site located in a National Cemetery.

Many Americans also use Memorial Day to honor other family members who have died. In Rochester, NY members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars take donations[ for "Buddy Poppies" in the days leading up to Memorial Day designed to act as a visual reminder of those who have sacrificed their lives for the United States. The poppy's significance to Memorial Day is a result of Canadian military physician LtCol John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields".
In Flanders Fieldsby LtCol John McCraeIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Living. Long days agoWe died, felt sunset, saw dawn glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.

Precursors to the American Mother's Day
Precedents for the currently observed "Mother's Day" include:
"Mothering Sunday" in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their "Mother Church" (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents. An 1854 source mentions a couplet: "On 'Mothering Sunday,' above all other/Every child should dine with its mother."
"Mother's Day Work Clubs" organized by Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis (1832-1905), to improve sanitation and health in the area. These clubs also assisted both Union and Confederate encampments controlling a typhoid outbreak, and conducted a "Mothers' Friendship Day" to reconcile families divided by the Civil War.
The "Mother's Day" anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872
Parents' Day in the United States
In the United States, Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July. This was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law (36 U.S.C. § 135) for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children."
Parents Day, proclaimed by a joint Congressional Resolution, is an opportunity to uplift parenthood and to highlight the important roles parents have in helping their children grow up to be all that they can be. It's an opportunity for parents to re-examine their priorities, and re-dedicate their commitment to not let life's problems and concerns take precedence over our responsibilities as parents to help nurture our children. Parents' Day is a time for communities to celebrate our dedicated parents who strive to raise their children with unconditional love, often putting self-gratification aside to nurture their children in a loving environment.

There is a wide-spread custom of sending greeting cards or gifts to express affection. Every February 14, millions of people send Valentines to those whom they love. The cards, known as Valentines, are often designed with hearts to symbolize love.
In England, Valentine greetings have been popular since the Middle Ages, when lovers used to send Valentine verses to their sweethearts.
Attributes of St. Valentines day
In Alabama, the third Monday in February commemorates the birthdays of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (who was born in April).
In Arkansas, the third Monday in February is "George Washington's Birthday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day," an official state holiday.
In New Mexico, President's Day, at least as a state government paid holiday, is observed on the Friday following Thanksgiving. In 2007, the country celebrated both Washington's 275th birthday and the 75th anniversary of the rebirth of the Purple Heart medal.
Since 1862, there has been a tradition in the United States Senate that George Washington's Farewell Address be read on his birthday. Citizens had asked that this be done in light of the approaching Civil War. The annual tradition continues with the reading of the address on or near Washington's Birthday.
Parents' Day in the United States
In the United States, Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July. This was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law (36 U.S.C. § 135) for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children."
Parents Day, proclaimed by a joint Congressional Resolution, is an opportunity to uplift parenthood and to highlight the important roles parents have in helping their children grow up to be all that they can be. It's an opportunity for parents to re-examine their priorities, and re-dedicate their commitment to not let life's problems and concerns take precedence over our responsibilities as parents to help nurture our children. Parents' Day is a time for communities to celebrate our dedicated parents who strive to raise their children with unconditional love, often putting self-gratification aside to nurture their children in a loving environment.
Washington's Birthday was first declared a federal holiday by an 1879 act of Congress. The Uniform Holidays Act, 1968, shifted the date of the commemoration of Washington's Birthday from February 22 to the third Monday in February. Many people now refer to this holiday as "Presidents' Day" and consider it a day honoring all American presidents. However, neither the Uniform Holidays Act nor any subsequent law changed the name of the holiday from Washington's Birthday to Presidents' Day.

Specific, high-profile or common celebrations

On New Year's Day, people in certain countries gather on beaches and run into the water to celebrate the new year. Ireland, Britain, United States and Australia are the most popular countries for this. These events are sometimes known as polar bear plunges, and are sometimes organized by groups to raise money for charity. Polar Bear Clubs in many northern hemisphere cities near bodies of water, have a tradition of holding organized plunges on New Year's Day. The Coney Island Polar Bears Club in New York is the oldest cold-water swimming club in the United States. They have had groups of people enter the chilly surf since 1903.
In England and Scotland an extra round of football fixtures is played (unless New Year's Day falls on a Thursday, Friday or Sunday).
In Pasadena, California, United States, the Tournament of Roses is held, with revelers viewing the parade from the streets and watching on television, followed by the Rose Bowl college football game. The game is one of several postseason bowl games played in college football in the United States (though in 2004 and 2006, due to its involvement in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the Rose Bowl game was not held on New Year's Day).

This day is traditionally a religious feast, but since the 1900s has become an occasion for celebration the night of December 31, called New Year's Eve. There are often fireworks at midnight. Depending on the country, individuals may be legally allowed to burn fireworks, even if it's usually outlawed the rest of the year.
It is also customary to make New Year's resolutions, which individuals hope to fulfill in the coming year. The most popular resolutions in the western world include to quit tobacco smoking, stop excessive drinking of alcohol, lose weight, and get physically fit.
Vienna New Year Concert, in Austria.
In Philadelphia, the Mummers Parade is held on Broad Street.

Precedents for the currently observed "Mother's Day" include:
"Mothering Sunday" in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their "Mother Church" (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents. An 1854 source mentions a couplet: "On 'Mothering Sunday,' above all other/Every child should dine with its mother."
"Mother's Day Work Clubs" organized by Anna Jarvis's mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis (1832-1905), to improve sanitation and health in the area. These clubs also assisted both Union and Confederate encampments controlling a typhoid outbreak, and conducted a "Mothers' Friendship Day" to reconcile families divided by the Civil War.
The "Mother's Day" anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872

overview
In December 1911 - January 1912 South Pole was reached by competing teams of Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott, with a difference of 33 days. Scott Polar team killed in full on the way back, its fate during the XX century has been the subject of extensive debate very professional historians polar and polar expeditions ...
Amundsen and Scott way
The terrain on which routes were similar Amundsen and Scott. From wintering bases both teams were on the Ross Ice Shelf, followed by glacial valleys of the Transantarctic Mountains and then along the plains of the Polar Plateau. Both teams based on the experiences of E. Shackleton Expedition 1908-09, the (not reached the Pole 97 geographical miles or 180 miles) and believed that the major cause difficulty crossing the mountains and climb to the plateau.
Ross Ice Shelf was the most easy part of the route.
Weather Conditions
Weather conditions accompanying expeditions, consider difficult because of the difference in terms of campaigns. Scott wrote in his diary that at the end of the pole route he encountered unexpectedly low temperatures. However, during the winter on the "Discovery", in March 1903 were recorded temperature below -40 ° C. Amundsen tried whenever possible to reduce the time of being in the field, avoiding the adverse conditions encountered Scott.
Return back
On return to base Amundsen spent one and a half times less time than the way to the pole, so its average speed for the entire distance is 36 km / day. The reasons are obvious: no need for reconnaissance, traces of (partially) were intermediate compositions in each geographical degree of latitude. Team Scott Speed was approximately constant for both the journey.
When Scott's team climbed on the Beardmore Glacier, despite the blizzard 5 - 9 December 1911 and crack zone, its rate increased. This was due to the fact that after shooting horses simplified assembly and folding of the original camp. The surface of the glacier did not create serious obstacles.

In December 1911, Scott's team took an average of 27 km / day at the end of the month the speed dropped to 21 km / day, and in the first week of 1912 - up to 19 km / day. These features are not reflected in the diary Scott

On the way back from the pole pace movement commands Scott rose from 20 to 22 km / day. In January 1912 Amundsen introduced a new schedule: tight schedule transitions to 28 km with a six-hour stay. This pace was maintained until the return to base. Signs of exhaustion dangerous team Scott appeared after three months of transition, apparently, it is a time limit for safe operation in extreme conditions. Since death E. Evans, Scott average transition command does not exceed 5 km / day, and often was below

Amundsen triumph was marred by several deaths: January 9, 1913 committed suicide Hjalmar Johansen, February 11, arrived in New Zealand barque "Terra Nova" with the message that the November 12, 1912 were found the bodies of Scott and his two companions, who died in late March

 Анаконди мають погану репутацію серед жителів зон, де вони проживають, так як їх вважають здатними нападати на людину. Але найчастіше, якщо анаконда відчуває наближення людини, вона віддаляється в протилежному напрямку. Самки анаконд більше ніж самці, і вони народжують живих анаконд на відміну від інших змій, як пітони, які відкладають яйця. Самка анаконди народжує приблизно 25 - 30 нащадків за один раз. Дитинчата анаконди сягають до двох футів в довжину під час народження і можуть плавати і полювати відразу після народження.

З чотирьох видів анаконд, яка коли-небудь зустрічалася, а саме, чорно-плямистої, жовтою, зеленою і болівійської анаконд, найбільша анаконда - це зелена анаконда - досягає в довжину до 11 метрів Девятиметровая анаконда важить до 500 кг. Добре харчуються змії важать приблизно 100 кг на метр довжини.
Змія такого розміру може легко вбити бика. Незважаючи на великі розміри, цих змій дуже важко виявити: вони пересуваються безшумно і часто виявляються непоміченими. Що стосується слова «анаконда», то вважають, що воно походить від сингальської слова  (гримуча змія), або тамільської (вбивця слонів).
Самая большая анаконда в мире
Наукова назва роду - походить від давньогрецького слова, що означало «Хороший плавець» Головне харчування анаконд складається з мишей, лягушкек, черепах, свиней, оленів і т. д. Анаконда стискає свою здобич, обварачиваясь навколо тіла видобутку і душа її. Після того, як видобуток мертва, анаконда спокійно ковтає її. Оскільки вона перетравлює їжу дуже повільно, то може жити без їжі більше року, якщо з'їла велику тварину.

There exist two main groups of newspapers: qualities and populars.
National press
Only 2 or 3 newspapers with the largest circulation tell their readers about some rumours or crimes. The main function of press in America is to give objective information. The materials should be given in full volume and newspapers should give floor to all possible facts and opinions. There is also no secret information for the press. The information is usually taken from the News Agencies. The largest and most famous of them are: Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI).

Content
Most general-purpose newspapers are either printed one day a week, or are printed daily. They are in part advertising driven, including classified ads, but also receive income from newsstand sales and subscriptions. Major cities often have alternative weeklies, for example, New York City's Village Voice or Los Angeles' L.A. Weekly, which are entirely advertising driven, and offered for free to the public. A newspaper meeting particular standards of circulation, including having a subscription or mailing list, is designated as a newspaper of general circulation.
Archives
Archives
Many libraries provide microfilm archives of major US papers
The number of daily newspapers in the U.S. has declined over the past half-century, according to Editor & Publisher, the trade journal of American newspapers. In particular, the number of evening newspapers has fallen by almost one-half since 1970, while the number of morning editions and Sunday editions has grown.
There also exist about 122 domestic and foreign news bureaus in the USA. There are over 4000 monthly and 1300 weekly magazines in the USA. Among them are: “National Geographic”, “Reader’s Digest”, “Cosmopolitan”, “Time”, “Vogue” and others. Women’s magazines publish all sorts of recipes, stories about local outstanding women, furnishing questions and other items.
Publishing books in America is rather a prosperous business. America is on the 9th place in the world by the books, published and read. Public libraries always organize book sales. Most newspapers and magazines publish chapters from the books of young authors.

The Aztecs
The Aztec people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries.
Aztec (Aztecatl) is the Nahuatl word for "people from Aztlan", a mythological place for the Nahuatl-speaking culture of the time, and later adopted as the word to define the Mexica people.
From the 13th century Valley of Mexico was the core of Aztec civilization: here the capital of the Aztecs, the city of Tenochtitlan, was built upon raised islets in Lake Texcoco.
At its pinnacle Aztec culture had rich and complex mythological and religious traditions, as well as reaching remarkable architectural and artistic accomplishments.
In 1521, Hernán Cortés, along with a large number of Nahuatl speaking indigenous allies, conquered Tenochtitlan and defeated the Aztecs.
The Spanish founded the new settlement of Mexico City on the site of the ruined Aztec capital.
Aztec culture and history is primarily known through archaeological evidence found in excavations such as that of the renowned Templo Mayor in Mexico City and many others, from indigenous bark paper codices, from eyewitness accounts by Spanish conquistadors such as Hernán Cortés and Bernal Díaz del Castillo.
We know some facts from 16th and 17th century descriptions of Aztec culture and history written by Spanish clergymen and literate Aztecs in the Spanish or Nahuatl language,
   such as the famous Florentine Codex compiled by the Franciscan monk Bernardino de Sahagún with the help of indigenous Aztec informants.

The Maya Civilization
The geographic extent of the Maya civilization, known as the Maya area, extended throughout the southern Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and the Yucatán Peninsula states of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatán.
   The Maya area also extended throughout the northern Central American region, including the present-day nations of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and western Honduras.
The Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems.
Many Maya cities reached their highest state development during the Classic period (c. 250 AD to 900 AD), and continued until the arrival of the Spanish. At its peak, it was one of the most densely populated and culturally dynamic societies in the world.
The Maya civilization shares many features with other Mesoamerican civilizations. Advances such as writing, epigraphy, and the calendar did not originate with the Maya; however, their civilization fully developed them.
   The Maya peoples never disappea-
    red. Today, the Maya and their descend-
    ants form sizable populati-
    on through
    out the Maya area.
Many Mayan languages continue to be spoken as primary languages today; the Rabinal Achí, a play written in the Achi' language, was declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2005.
As Maya cities spread throughout the varied geography of Mesoamerica, site planning appears to have been minimal. Maya architecture tended to integrate a great degree of natural features.
The Maya writing system (often called hieroglyphs) was a combination of phonetic symbols and logograms. It is the only writing system of the Pre-Columbian New World which is known to completely represent the spoken language of its community.
In common with the other Mesoamerican civilizations, the Maya used a base 20 and base 5 numbering system. Also, the preclassic Maya and their neighbors independently developed the concept of zero by 36 BC.
They produced extremely accurate astronomical observations; their charts of the movements of the moon and planets are equal or superior to those of any other civilization working from naked eye observation.

The Amur tiger is in Russia's Red Book of Endangered animals. Hunting for tigers is prohibited since 1947. There are only about 500 adults that live in the Russian Far East.
The Amur tiger is one of the largest tigers. Its body length with head makes up 2 meters and with tail it can reach up to 3 meters. The tiger can weigh 300 kg.

Amur tiger has the reddish-brown coat with black or brown stripes. In summer the coloring is brighter, and in winter the fur becomes longer.

Tigers can travel great distances, covering from 20 to 100 km per day.
The tiger in Russia faces a number of threats:
hunting of prey, illegal poaching,
traditional Chinese Medicine,
loss of habitat.

Think about the ways of protecting these animals!

A modern teenager: features of psychology

Of course, for the development of every child age. Still, adolescence is a special place because the transition from childhood to adulthood is no less, as the transition from one era to another. But do we always realize the immensity of this transition, always understand what he means to the child and adult? Can we see in teens and properly understand the first, emerging sprouts of maturity?
The border of adolescence approximately coincide with the training of children in middle school and cover the age from 10-11 to 14-15 years. Grader, many of us would call a child with no special considerations, and says they will say that even the appearance of it is at least halfway to adulthood.

From 10-12-younger Teens From 13-15-senior teens

Features:-desire to communicate with their peers,-adoption of its autonomy, girls develop faster, intellectual development is more personal.
focus and selectivity of attention;
logic memory (Visual and imaginative verbal-logical);
 abstract thinking (an independent approach creativity).
Formed I-concept "(comparison is real and ideal representations of themselves).
ASYNCHRONICITY-time mismatch of development personality.
Age crisis: self-esteem (vulnerability);  development of moral feelings (Justice);  interest in the person as an individual (friendship);  the struggle for independence (lost the authority of adults).
                  Difficulties in study:
 conflicts with teachers;  lack of skills and knowledge;  weak learning motivation;  weak randomness of behavior (the impossibility of a force).
                   Violations in the emotional sphere:
aggressiveness;  emotional disinhibition;  vulnerability, anxiety.
learning;
choice of friends;
behavior (autonomy);
lack of understanding;
interests (hobbies);
respect for parents (authority);
bad habits.
overload (many responsibilities).
Some parents in advance come in horror from the awkward age of their children.   They tensely waiting for trouble and disruption, which, in their view, would inevitably accompany adolescence and beyond.   Parents fear that the child will grow, and they will lose it.   Go away past understanding, discipline and children's charm.   Often parents carry their own fear and uncertainty in the growing child.
    So, we ended up talking about teenagers. But this is just a small part of what we learned about it. How does he enter into YouTube? YouTube-this time for self-determination, it is time to hope and search. This is the period of time for reflection on the ideals of "time and about himself."
Godspeed to you, boy!!!

A number of works record ancient Chinese mythology in their settled forms. Most myths extant today are derived from their recording in these works.
Shan Hai Jing - Literally Mountain and Sea Scroll, the Shan Hai Jing describes the myths, witchcraft, and religion of ancient China in great detail and also has a record of the geography, sea and mountains, history, medicine, customs, and ethnicities in ancienttimes. It has been called an early encyclopedia of China. Shui Jing Zhu - Literally Commentaries on the Water Scroll, this work began as commentaries on the briefer work of the Water Scroll, but became famous of its ownaccord because of its extensive record of geography, history, and associated legends.
HeVan Zhuan - Epic of Darkness Literally Epic of the Darkness,this is the only collection of legends in epic form preserved by a community of the Han nationality ofChina, namely, inhabitants of the Shennongjia mountain area in Hubei, containingaccounts from the birth of Pangu till the historical era.
Records of Myths
Myths and Legends

Great Flood

Shun passed his place as leader of the Huaxia tribe to Yu the Great. According to legend, the Yellow River was prone to flooding, and erupted in a huge flood in the time of Yao.  Yufs father, Gun, was put in charge of flood control by Yao, but failed to alleviate the problem after 9 years. He was executed by Shun, and Yu took his father's place, and led the people in building canals and levees. After thirteen years of toil, flooding problems were solved under Yu's command. Shun enfeoffed Yu in the place of Xia, in present-day Wan County in Henan. On his death, Shun passed the leadership to Yu. The main source for the story of Yu and the Great Flood comes from The Counsels of Yu the Great in the Classic of History.
Because of his achievement in resolving the Great Flood, Yu, alone among the mythological rulers, is usually called "Yu the Great". Alternatively, he is called Emperor Yu, like his predecessors.

Xia Dynasty

Upon Yu's death, his position as leader was passed not to his deputy, but was inherited by his son Qi. Various sources differ as to the process by which Qi rose to this position. Most versions agree that during his lifetime, Yu had designated his deputy, Gaotao, to be his successor. When Gaotao died before him, Yu then selected Gaotao's son, Boyi as successor. One version then says that all the peoples who had submitted to Yu admired Qi more than Boyi, and Yu passed power to Qi instead. Another version holds that Boyi ceremoniously offered the position to Qi, who accepted, against convention, because he had the support of other leaders. A third version says that Qi killed Boyi and usurped his position as leader.
In any case, Qi's succession broke the previous convention of meritorious succession, and began what is traditionally regarded as the first dynasty in Chinese history.
The Xia Dynasty is considered at least semi-mythological. The Records of the Grand Historian and the Bamboo Annals record the names of 17 kings of the Xia Dynasty.
Shang Dynasty

Jie, the last king of the Xia Dynasty, is said to be a bloodthirsty despot. Tang of Shang, a tribal leader, revolted against Xia rule and eventually overthrew Jie and established the Shang Dynasty, based in Anyang. The Shang Dynasty ruled from  1766 BC to  1050 BC. It came to the end when the last despotic ruler, Zhou of Shang, was overthrown by the new Zhou Dynasty. The end of the Shang Dynasty and the establishment of the Zhou is the subject of the influential mythological fiction, Investitute of the Gods.
Unlike the preceding Xia Dynasty, there is clear archaeological evidence of a government centre at Yinxu in Anyang, and of an urban civilisation in the Shang Dynasty. However, the chronology of the first three dynasties remains an area of active research and controversy.
There has been extensive interaction between Chinese mythology and the major belief systems of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.
On the one hand, elements of pre-existing mythology were adapted into these belief systems as they developed (in the case of Taoism), or were assimilated into Chinese culture (in the case of Buddhism). On the other hand, elements from the teachings and beliefs of these systems became incorporated into Chinese mythology. For example, the Taoist belief of a spiritual paradise became incorporated into mythology, as the place where immortals and deities dwell. Meanwhile, the myths of the benevolent rulers of the past, in the form of the Three August Ones and Five Emperors became a part of the Confucian political philosophy of Primitivism.

Religion and mythology
Chinese art has varied throughout its ancient history, divided into periods by the ruling dynasties of China and changing technology. Different forms of art have been influenced by great philosophers, teachers, religious figures and even political leaders. Chinese art encompasses fine arts, folk arts and performance arts.
Ancient Egypt was a civilization in northern East Africa concentrated along the middle to lower reaches of the Nile River that reached its greatest extent in the second millennium BC during the New Kingdom. It stretched from the Nile Delta in the north to as far south as Jebel Barkal, located at the Fourth Cataract of the Nile in modern-day Sudan. The fluid geographic range of ancient Egypt also included, at different times, areas of the southern Levant the Eastern Desert and the Red Sea coastline, the Sinai Peninsula, and the oases of the Western desert.
Literature
Writing first appears associated with kingship, labels and tags for items found in royal tombs. This developed by the Old Kingdom into the tomb autobiography, such as those of Harkhuf and WenL

 Architecture
The architecture of ancient Egypt includes some of the most famous structures in the world, such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel and the temples at Thebes. All major building projects were organized and funded by the state, whose purpose was not only to provide functional religious, military, and funerary structures but to reinforce the power and reputation of the pharaoh and ensure his legacy for all time. The ancient Egyptians were skilled builders with expert knowledge of basic surveying and construction techniques. Using simple but effective measuring ropes, plum bobs, and sighting instruments, architects could build large stone structures with accuracy and precision.
Art

The ancient Egyptians produced art that was made for functional purposes rather than as a form of pure creative expression. Artists adhered to artistic forms that were developed during the Old Kingdom for more than 3500 years, following a strict set of principles that resisted foreign influence and internal change. Their artistic canon, characterized by the flat projection of figures with no effort to indicate spatial depth, combined with simple lines, shapes, and flat areas of color, created a sense of order and balance within a composition. Because of the rigid rule that governed its highly stylized and symbolic appearance, ancient Egyptian art served its political and religious purposes with precision and clarity.
  GREECE

There are no fixed or universally agreed upon dates for the beginning or the end of the ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire. The historical line starts with Greek Dark Ages (1100-800 3C). In this period artists use geometrical schemes such as squares, circles and lines to decorate amphora and other pottery. The archaic period (800-480 BC) represents those years when the artists made larger free-standing sculptures in stiff, hieratic poses with the dreamlike "archaic smile".
Greek mythology consists of stories belonging to the Ancient Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and the origins and significance of their religious practices. The main Greek gods were the twelve Olympians, Zeus, his wife Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Agog, Artemis, Demeter, and Hestia. Other important deities included Hebe, Helios, Hades, Dionysus, Persephone and Heracles (a demi-god), Zeus parents were Kronos and Rhea who also were the parents of Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.

Religion and mythology
Mythology was at the heart of everyday life in ancient Greece. Greeks regarded mythology as a part of their history. They used myth to explain natural phenomena, cultural variations, traditional enmities and friendships. It was a source of pride to be able to trace one's leaders' descent from a mythological hero or a god.
The Architecture of Ancient Rome adopted the external language of classical Greek architecture for their own purposes, which were so different from Greek buildings as to create a new architectural style.
Certainly, the Romans absorbed Greek influence in many aspects closely related to architecture, for example in the introduction and use of the Triclinium in Roman villas as a place and manner of dining. But at this point so too should we note Roman indebtedness to their Etruscan neighbours and forefathers who supplied them with a wealth of knowledge essential for their future architectural solutions, for example in terms of hydraulics and in the construction of arches. Adopting this broader view of architecture we can see that social elements such as wealth and high population densities in cities forced the ancient Romans to discover new (architectural) solutions of their own. For example, the use of vaults and arches together with a sound knowledge of building materials enabled them to achieve unprecedented successes in the construction of imposing structures for public use. Examples include the aqueducts, the Pantheon, Rome (largest single span dome for well over a millennium), the basilicas and perhaps most famously of all, the Coliseums.
H

Roman painting styles show Greek influences, and surviving examples are primarily frescoes used to adorn the walls and ceilings of country villas, though Roman literature includes mentions of paintings on wood, ivory, and other materials. Several examples of Roman painting have been found at Pompeii, and from these art historians divide the history of Roman painting into four periods. The first style of Roman painting was practiced from the early 2nd century BC to the early- or mid-1st century BC. It was mainly composed of imitations of marble and masonry, though sometimes including depictions of mythological characters. The second style of Roman painting began during the early 1 st century BC, and attempted to realistically depict three-dimensional architectural features and landscapes. The third style occurred during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD), and rejected the realism of the second style in favor of simple ornamentation. The fourth style, which began in the 1st century AD, depicted scenes from mythology, while retaining architectural details and abstract patterns.

James Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941)
The demand that I make of my reader is that he
should devote his whole Life to reading my works.
         James Augusta Aloysius Joyce was
an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one
of the most influential writers in the modernist
avant-garde of the early 20th century.
          His complete oeuvre also includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
        James Augusta Aloysius Joyce was born on 2 February 1882 to John Stanislaus Joyce and Mary Jane "May" Murray in the Dublin suburb of Rathgar.
        He was baptised in the nearby
St. Joseph's Church in Terenure
on 5 February by Rev. John O'Mulloy.
        He was the eldest of ten surviving children; two of his siblings died of typhoid.
        Joyce had begun his education at
Clongowes Wood College, a Jesuit
boarding school near Clane in 1888 but had to leave in 1892 when his father
could no longer pay the fees.
        On 1904 he met Nora Barnacle, a young woman from Connemara, who was working as a chambermaid. They first stepped out together, an event which would be commemorated by providing the date for the action of Ulysses.
         Joyce and Nora went into self-imposed exile, moving first to Zurich, where he had supposedly acquired a post to teach English at the Berlitz Language School through an agent in England.
Joyce's statue in Trieste   
         It turned out that the English agent had been swindled, but the director of the school sent him on to Trieste
        In 1915, after most of his students were conscripted in Trieste for World War I, he moved to Zurich.
        The so-called James-Joyce-Kanzel
(plateau) at the confluence of the Sihl
and Limmat rivers in Zurich where
Joyce loved to relax    
        There, he met one of his most enduring and important friends, Frank Budgen, whose opinion Joyce constantly sought through the writing of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
        Joyce headed to Paris in 1920 at an invitation from Ezra Pound, supposedly for a week, but he ended up living there for the next twenty years.
        On 11 January 1941, he underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer. The following day he fell into a coma.  He awoke at 2 a.m. on 13 January 1941, and asked for a nurse to call his wife and son before losing consciousness again. They were still on their way when he died 15 minutes later.
        Joyce's Irish experiences constitute an essential element of his writings, and provide all of the settings for his fiction and much of its subject matter.
Major works
        As he was completing work on Dubliners in 1906, Joyce considered adding another story featuring a Jewish advertising canvasser called Leopold Bloom under the title Ulysses.

Hampton Court
Общие сведения
Хэмптон-корт  - Hampton Court Palace — бывшая загородная резиденция английских королей,
Страна: Великобритания
Город: Лондон, расположена на берегу Темзы в лондонском предместье Ричмонд-на-Темзе
Статус: построено в период 1514-1694 гг.
Назначение: памятник архитектуры
Официальный сайт: www.historicroyalpalaces.org
Время работы: четверг: 10:00–16:30
История
Первым владельцем Хэмптон-корта был кардинал Уолси, архиепископ Йоркский. Однако ему недолго пришлось наслаждаться выстроенным на берегу Темзы загородным домом, не уступавшим по своей роскоши королевским резиденциям.
После его опалы в 1529 году Хэмптон-корт стал собственностью Генриха VIII, который тотчас начал расширять его, превратив в дворец, еще более богатый и величественный, чем Сент-Джеймсский или Уайтхолл. Двор пребывал в Хэмптон-корте вплоть до 1760 года.

Георг II был последним королём, который жил во дворце. К началу XIX века Хэмптон-корт пришёл в запустение, однако в эпоху романтизма покои Генриха VIII были отремонтированы, а королева Виктория открыла дворец для посещения широкой публикой. В королевских покоях можно видеть антиквариат и старинные картины, наиболее значительные из которых принадлежат Мантенье, Рафаэлю и Брейгелю Старшему.
Как добраться?
В начале XVI века главный путь к Хэмптон-корту лежал по реке. И нынче до него можно добраться катером, начав увлекательное путешествие по Темзе от самого Вестминстерского причала. Однако в наши дни предпочтение отдают более скорым сухопутным средствам передвижения.
Окрестности
Знакомство с Хэмптон-кортом, окруженным парками и садами, обычно начинается с большого зеленого двора, позволяющего еще издали увидеть дворец и сразу же почувствовать его своеобразную живописность.
К воротам дворца ведет каменный мост XVI века, переброшенный через ров и украшенный белокаменными фигурами геральдических зверей, полных высокомерия, держащих щиты с гербами королевского дома.

Если посмотреть на Хэмптон-корт с птичьего полета, то за его западным фасадом обнаружится чуть ли не целый маленький город. Кирпичные здания, зубчатые стены которых еще усилены башнями, расположены по сторонам нескольких дворов, следующих друг за другом.
Нижний двор
Часовой
Фонтанный
Второй двор - Часовой
 Второй двор — Часовой. Астрономические часы, находящиеся в его надвратной башне, исполнены в 1540 году и показывают время, месяц, число, количество дней от начала года, фазы луны и время подъема воды у Лондонского моста.
Парк
Регулярный французский парк перед дворцом был разбит для Вильгельма III по образцу голландского Хет Лоо; его любопытная особенность — лабиринт площадью в 60 акров.

Ancient Rome
According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a she-wolf.
Ancient Rome begin as a group of villages along the Tiber River. Around 750 BC these villages united to form the city of Rome.
Formation of Rome
Roman Expansion
The Fall of the Ancient Rome
The fall of Ancient Rome started from about AD 190. The Roman Empire was attacked by tribes such as the Goths and the Vandals.
In AD 284, the emperor Diocletian decided to divide the Roman Empire in two to make it easier to rule - he created the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire, each with its own leader.
With threats from tribes in northern Europe, a civilian population becoming more and more discontented, Rome could ill afford further major issues.
In AD 455, Rome was attacked again by the Vandals. In AD 476, the last Roman emperor Romulus Augustulus abdicated.
Culture of ancient Rome
The culture of ancient Rome existed throughout the almost 1200-year history of the civilization of Ancient Rome. Life in ancient Rome revolved around the city of Rome, the largest megalopolis of that time, its famed seven hills, and its monumental architecture such as the Colosseum,  the Forum of Trajan and the Pantheon.
The theatre of ancient Rome was a diverse and interesting art form, ranging from festival performances of street theatre and acrobatics, to the staging of broadly appealing situation comedies, to the high-style, verbally elaborate tragedies.
Culture of ancient Rome
Bathing was one of the most common daily activities in Roman culture, and was practiced across a wide variety of social classes. Though many contemporary cultures see bathing as a very private activity conducted in the home, bathing most commonly occurred in public facilities called thermae.
Culture of ancient Rome
Conclusion
Ancient Rome civilization contributed greatly to the development of law, language and technology in the Western world and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today. The Roman civilization was one of the greatest civilizations in ancient world and it has major impacts on the world today.

Perhaps his most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic method of inquiry, known as the Socratic method or method of "elenchus," which he largely applied to the examination of key moral concepts such as the Good and Justice. It was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. To solve a problem, it would be broken down into a series of questions, the answers to which gradually distill the answer a person would seek. The influence of this approach is most strongly felt today in the use of the scientific method, in which hypothesis is the first stage.
To illustrate the use of the Socratic method; a series of questions are posed to help a person or group to determine their underlying beliefs and the extent of their knowledge. The Socratic method is a negative method of hypothesis elimination, in that better hypotheses are found by steadily identifying and eliminating those which lead to contradictions. It was designed to force one to examine one's own beliefs and the validity of such beliefs. In fact, Socrates   once  said, "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others.
