Royal wedding powerpoint
Polam Hall Junior School celebrated the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in April 2011 by dressing up in wedding attire and reenacting scenes from the wedding. Students and teachers tried on fancy hats, created wedding bouquets, and pretended to get married in the school marquee or church. They imitated moments like the bride's arrival by vintage car and the newlyweds' first kiss. The mock wedding celebration allowed the school to share in the excitement of the royal nuptials.

Saint Patrick was influential in spreading Christianity in Ireland in the 5th century. He is credited with explaining the Holy Trinity using the three leaves of a clover, making it an important symbol for both him and Ireland. Dublin serves as the capital of Ireland today, and important sites there include Trinity College Dublin, Christ Church Cathedral, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Notable monuments from Ireland's history include Celtic crosses, monastic towers at sites like Monasterboice and Clonmacnoise, fortresses like Cahir Castle, and Bunratty Castle ruins.
History of Whitley Bay
Whitley Bay has a long history dating back to 1100 when King Henry I gave the land to the Priory of Tynemouth. Old industries included coal mining and limestone quarrying. In the late 19th century, more people began visiting Whitley Bay for holidays when the railway line opened in 1882. Several iconic landmarks were built in the early 20th century, including the Spanish City in 1910 and St. Mary's Lighthouse in 1898. Over time, the town has undergone regeneration with demolition of older structures and development of new areas, parks, and a library.

Living History
The 12th Duke of Devonshire and his wife Amanda have lived at Chatsworth House since 2006, inheriting the estate from his father. As the head of the Cavendish family, the Duke feels lucky to preserve and share the historic house and grounds that have been passed down through his family for over 450 years. Considered the most beautiful house in England, Chatsworth has nearly 300 rooms, 35,000 acres of land, and an art collection including works by famous painters. While costly to maintain, the house and estate welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors each year through tours, exhibitions, and events, as well as generating income through filming location rentals.

THE VìKìNGS !!
The Vikings originated from Denmark, Norway and Sweden between the 8th and 11th centuries AD. They raided coastal areas across Europe, attacking the Christian monastery in England in 793. Viking armies later took control of parts of northern, central and eastern England in 865. Vikings lived in wooden houses and wore decorative clothes and jewelry. Their society was organized with chieftains, craftsmen, freemen and slaves. They had many gods like Odin, Thor and Loki and believed in Norse myths. While they raided Christian areas, some Vikings eventually converted to Christianity. They were skilled seafarers and traders who traveled in wooden longships, discovering Greenland and North America. Viking influence declined by the 11
The vikings
Vikings played war games with wooden swords and enjoyed a strategy game called hnefatafl. They lived with their families in longhouses which had no windows and smoke escaped through the roof. Women cooked and spun wool while men and girls worked on the farm. Erik the Red was banished from Norway and Iceland for killing people. He discovered Greenland and misleadingly named it to attract settlers, despite its icy conditions.

Viking homes typically had thatched roofs, wood or stone walls, and a hole in the roof to let smoke escape. They contained a central fire hearth to provide heat and light. Vikings wore wool and linen clothes like tunics and trousers that were fastened with belts and brooches. Men and women wore similar styles of dress, and both genders enjoyed wearing jewelry. Most Vikings lived on farms and had jobs like farming, crafts, trading or fighting to defend their communities. They believed in gods like Odin and Thor and were ruled by kings, earls and chieftains, with ordinary freemen and slaves making up the rest of Viking society.
Up helly aa
Up Helly Aa refers to winter fire festivals held in Shetland, Scotland annually in mid-winter marking the end of the yule season. The Lerwick celebration involves up to 1000 costumed participants marching in squads through town, growing out of older traditions of dragging burning tar barrels. Over time, the celebrations became more elaborate, with Viking themes being introduced in the late 1800s including burning a longship replica. While originally a young working class male event, Up Helly Aa is now larger and more organized while maintaining connections to its origins over 150 years ago.

Flooding occurs somewhere in the world approximately 10,000 times every day as the consequences of a locale having more water than the local water cycle can process within its physical limits. Floods occur as the result of: extreme levels of , precipitation in thunderstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones; in storm surges, and in tsunami wave run up. We continue to operate with a flawed premise: Knowledge from flood disasters, which occur in association with great subduction zone earthquakes in the Pacific and Indian oceans and are very well understood, therefore flood disaster resilience should be accomplished relatively easily by vulnerable countries. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, floods are not annual events; they are also complex, so most nations, whether impacted or not, usually are slow to adopt and implement policies based on science and recent catastrophic events making flood disaster resilience a very elusive goal to achieve. What have we learned from recent past floods to increase survivability? First of all, the timing of anticipatory actions is vital. People who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., strong ground motion, soil effects, flood wave run up, ground failure), where and when floods have historically happened, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare for them, will survive. Secondly, timely, realistic disaster scenarios save lives. The people who have timely, realistic, advance information that facilitates reduction of vulnerabilities, and hence the risks associated with strong ground shaking, flood wave run up, and ground failure will survive. Thirdly, Emergency preparedness and response. The “Uncontrollable and Unthinkable” events will always hinder the timing of emergency response operations, especially the search and rescue operations that are limited to “the golden 48 hours.” The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. And finally, earthquake engineer building save lives. Buildings engineered to withstand the risks from an earthquake’s strong ground shaking and ground failure that cause damage, collapse, and loss of function, is vital for protecting occupants and users from death and injury.

Thesis (22 04-2015) master
This document is a thesis submitted by Olivia Herd to the University of Witwatersrand in fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy degree. The thesis examines chromosomal radiosensitivity in South African cervical and breast cancer patients using two assays - the G0-micronucleus assay and the γ-H2AX foci assay. The study found increased chromosomal radiosensitivity in cervical cancer patients, with HIV-positive patients showing the highest levels of radiosensitivity. In breast cancer patients, only white patients showed significantly higher radiosensitivity compared to controls. The results highlight how factors like HIV, disease stage, and ethnicity can influence radiosensitivity in the South African context.
WMO - Disaster Risk Reduction Programme
1) According to data from 1980-2007, 90% of natural disaster events, 70% of casualties, and 75% of economic losses are related to hydro-meteorological hazards like floods and tropical cyclones.
2) The WMO aims to strengthen early warning systems and disaster risk reduction through projects that improve hazard monitoring, risk assessment, and partnerships between national meteorological services and other organizations.
3) Effective early warning systems require coordination between meteorological, hydrological, and other services to issue warnings from national to local levels and support preparedness through disaster risk reduction plans.
Success factors of entrepreneurial small and medium sized enterprises in the ...
Research Question: What important factors affect the success of entrepreneurial SMEs in the Gnosjö municipality?
Background: With the economic crisis and recession, the world has begun to take notice of SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises).

Cause of flash flooding
Flash floods occur suddenly due to heavy rainfall over a short period of time. They are common in Malaysia, especially in urban areas where drainage systems are clogged. Common causes of flash floods include slow-moving thunderstorms, dam or levee failures, saturated ground, and urbanization which increases impervious surfaces. Flash floods can damage property and infrastructure, erode land, increase food prices, and release pollutants. Prevention methods include widening streams, protecting wetlands, placing sandbags and rocks, and building retention ponds and levees to contain excess water. Projects in Kuala Lumpur like SMART help divert flood waters and reduce flooding.

The colony on red river
Lord Selkirk brought Scottish settlers to the Red River Valley in 1811 to establish an agricultural colony and supply food for the Hudson's Bay Company forts. However, the settlers struggled to establish farms due to the harsh climate and lack of preparation. Tensions rose between the settlers and the local Métis population when the colony's governor banned pemmican exports, threatening the Métis livelihood. This led to armed conflict and the 1815 Battle of Seven Oaks where Métis defeated the settlers. After the merger of the HBC and North West Company in 1821, the Red River Settlement enjoyed peace as the community grew to include Metis, European settlers, and HBC employees.
