The document discusses the history of cinema from its invention by the Lumière brothers in 1895. It summarizes that:
1) The Lumière brothers, Louis and Auguste Lumière, were French inventors who created the cinematograph, a device that allowed motion pictures to be viewed.
2) One of the earliest films was a 45-second comedy called "L'Arroseur Arrosé."
3) George Méliès helped develop fantasy films using early special effects techniques, with one his most famous films being "A Trip to the Moon."
The London Riots document discusses the 2011 riots in London and their underlying causes. Tensions between local youth and police, a lack of jobs and community cohesion, and poor communication between youth and police all contributed to unrest. Video links are provided showing scenes from the riots in Barking and Romford.
Greek mythology involved a pantheon of gods and goddesses led by Zeus and rituals like festivals and oracles. The myths influenced Greek art, literature and daily life and were later adopted by the Romans in their religion.
This document provides a whirlwind tour of software development topics including common terminology like front-end vs back-end, languages vs frameworks. It describes the basic building blocks of a web application like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and how they are tied together by the DOM. Common technology stacks that pair languages like Java, PHP and Ruby with frameworks and databases are also outlined. The document concludes by suggesting ways for developers to take their skills to the next level in areas like responsive design, testing, design patterns and preparing applications to scale.
A computer simulation software has been developed that can predict the wall thickness distribution of parts made through rotational moulding. The simulation software allows users to input machine parameters like rotation type, speeds, temperatures profiles, and cooling conditions to model the moulding process. It then predicts thickness profiles and allows users to evaluate different machine setups before actual production. The software runs faster than real time on PCs and provides a useful training and design tool for optimizing the rotational moulding process.
Vanilla Ice sampled a portion of Queen and David Bowie's song "Under Pressure" in his 1990 hit "Ice Ice Baby" without properly crediting or obtaining permission, which resulted in a copyright infringement lawsuit. The document expresses the opinion that Queen and David Bowie did not need the money and should have let Vanilla Ice use the sample, as it was his only major hit.
The document discusses the history of cinema from its invention by the Lumière brothers in 1895. It describes some of the earliest films including their short length of around 45 seconds. It mentions how Georges Méliès pioneered fantasy films using special effects. The development of cinema is divided into different eras from pre-cinema to the modern era. Important early directors mentioned include the Lumière brothers, Georges Méliès, Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, and Steven Spielberg. Walt Disney invented the character of Mickey Mouse which was originally black and white and enjoyed by children.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document contains a multiple choice exercise with 35 questions testing the use of gerunds and infinitives in English sentences. The questions cover a range of topics and contexts where gerunds or infinitives are required for grammatical correctness. The goal is to choose the answer option that correctly completes each sentence using either a gerund or infinitive form of the given verb.

11. LA CONSTRUCCIÓ DE LA MURALLA ÉS
DIVIDEIX EN 5 PARTS:
•Període anterior a la unificació de la Dinastia
Qin
•Període de la Dinastia Qin
•Període de la Dinastia Han
•Període de baixa activitat
•Període de la Dinastia Ming
12. DE QUINS MATERIALS VA SER
CONSTRUÏDA?
• Els materials utilitzats per a la seva
contrucció van ser els
que hi havia prop.
• Prop de Pequín es va
utilitzar pedra calcària.
13. • En altres llocs es va utilitzar
granit o maó cuit.
• Bàsicament, era una llarga
tàpia d'argila i sorra, coberta
amb diverses parets de maó.
Això la va fer molt resistent als
impactes de les armes.
14. • Les parets es construeixen en capes
alternes de grava triturada i
canyes, van ser coberts amb argila
per a ser protegides de l'erosió i fer
més difícil d'escalar.
15. • La Gran Muralla és l’estructura més llarga
del món construïda pels humans.
• Algunes parts del nord de Pequín, i prop
dels centre turístics s’han conservat i fins i
tot reconstruït, en canvi en molts llocs està
en mal estat.
16. SABEU QUÈ?
• La Muralla és l’única de
les construcció humana
visible des de l’espai?
17. • És, sens dubte, un dels llocs més
