Spotlight on Advanced is a comprehensive course that has been revised to be in line with the new Cambridge English exam specifications for January 2015. It prepares adults and younger learners to excel in the revised exam. An exciting new feature of this revised edition is the Ideas Generator. Test takers need to generate ideas to pass the Speaking and Writing papers of the exam. The Ideas Generator uses National Geographic videos to stimulate students' interest in common exam topics, help them build ideas about these topics and gather the language they need to effectively write or speak about them. After each video lesson students will have a bank of ideas, functional language and vocabulary tied to eight topics that commonly appear in the exam. One of the most difficult parts of the exam for students is the Speaking Test. The Speaking Test videos and worksheets will prepare students by getting them to engage with simulations of all four parts of the Speaking test.
Exam Essentials is our major British English exam preparation series combining exam preparation, practice, and tips for the revised Cambridge English exams. This effective combination of testing and teaching has proved a popular formula with teachers and students. The first two practice tests in each book are 'walk-through' tests.

The DVD-ROM also features worksheets to use with the interview and all the Listening test files.
D-C-FIX dekoratiivkleebised on väga head vahendid mööbli uuendamiseks, isikupärasemaks muutmiseks ning privaatuse loomiseks. Kleebis sobib kasutamiseks kõikidele siledatele ning puhastele pindadele, näiteks kapid, tasapinnad, uksed, toolid, lauad, aknad, duššiuksed jne. Kleebiseid võib kasutada ka välitingimustes, talub temperatuuri -10 kuni +75 kraadi.Paigaldamises ei ole mitte midagi keerulist - esiteks tuleks mõõta välja täpselt õiges mõõdus kile või kleebise tükk, seejärel puhastada aluspind hoolikalt kõigist mustuse jääkidest nagu tolm, vesi jms. Vältimaks õhumulle on soovitavat aluspinnale piserdada vett, seejärel paigutada kile või kleebis soovitud positsioonile ning vesi kraabitsaga sujuvalt välja suruda, liikuda tuleks kraabitsaga keskelt äärtele. Kui kleebist on ekslikult viltu jäänud, on seda võimalik uuesti lahti tõmmata ja õigesse positsiooni sättida. Nurkade paigaldamiseks võib kasutada abivahendina ka fööni, mis muudab kleebise pehmemaks. Väikeste õhumullide eemaldamiseks võib mulli sisse teha pisikese augu, mille kaudu saab õhu välja suruda. Kui kile või kleebis on soovitud positsioonil kenasti paigas, on tarvis lasta tal seista 24 tundi, et liim saaks lõplikult kinnituda. Kui on soov kleebis eemaldada, on samuti föön hea abimees, nimelt saab fööniga kleebist soojendada, alustades äärtest, et liim tuleks lahti, ning järkjärgult kleebist maha tõmmata.Kleebis on mõõtmetega 0,67 x 2 meetrit.Järgnevatelt videotelt leiate erinevaid paigaldust õpetavaid videoid:
2026 marks forty years since the United Counties operations in Luton, Hitchin and Aylesbury were transferred into the new Luton and District Transport Company, which in 1990 acquired London Country North West, and various other operators along the way. In 1994 the company was purchased by British Bus and later Cowie with the Arriva branding adopted nationwide in 1997. Boundary changes and closures now see the core operating area centred on Luton and Milton Keynes, with services reaching Watford to the south and Northampton to the north, as well as the 757 Green Line into Central London, while services in the Luton and Dunstable area make good use of the Busway to cut journey times. With 180 colour images and informative captions, Gary Seamarks details the vehicles operated over the past twenty-five years across the mixed fleet which has carried the various Arriva liveries as well as some others.

The strontium ruthenates of the Ruddlesden-Popper series have attracted much interest in the last two decades due to the variety of their different ground states. These states, ranging from unconventional superconductivity over metamagnetic behavior with a new low-temperature phase to itinerant ferromagnetism, are often in close competition and thus crucially depend on system parameters and crystal purity. The discussion in this work concentrates on selected exotic phenomena in the ruthenates which are explored within different theoretical frameworks. In a first part, it is shown how the c-axis transport in the single-layer compound can be understood in terms of a two- to one-dimensional crossover within the basal plane and the associated loss of spectral weight. The second part deals with the bilayer ruthenate. In particular, the directional anisotropy of the phase diagram to magnetic fields is explained with a staggered spin-orbit coupling stemming from the rotation of the oxygen octahedra. The last part investigates the effect of staggered non-centrosymmetricity within a regular sublattice structure on superconductivity in some analogy to the case of antiferromagnetic crystals.

Most people know the story of the Sword in the Stone, in which King Arthur pulled a sword from a stone and thus proved his right to rule England. Many also know about the Twelve Knights of his Round Table. It has long been assumed that the story of these companions comes from a similar tale about Charlemagnes Twelve Companions, in turn inherited from Jesus and his Twelve Disciples. But what if there is a much earlier origin for both the Sword in the Stone and the Twelve Knights, one rooted in astronomy and first emerging in the Cradle of Civilisation? In The Sword in the Stone, John Matthews and Linda A. Malcor put forward the convincing theory that this story began to form 4,000 years ago in the cultures of Mesopotamia and Babylon, first appearing explicitly in the culture of the Hittites, and then repeated itself down through the centuries across cultures as distant as Japan and North America. The authors here bring all the strands together to explain how we arrived at Arthur. Reflecting our timeless relationship with the stars, The Sword in the Stone will forever change your perception of that famous tale. Autorid: John Matthews, Linda A. Malcor
Why we shouldnt colonize Mars or the Moon, or even vacation thereIf certain business titans, corporations, and governments have their way, humans will someday be living, working, and vacationing in space. This is the much-vaunted New Space Age, and in Lunacy, philosopher Ben Bramble explains why it is a giant mistake. Bramble systematically refutes each of the ten most influential reasons given for this new generation of space exploration (and habitation), from the idea of Mars as a backup plan in case Earth meets an untimely end to the charms of friendship with extraterrestrials. Doing so, he reflects on deeper issues, exploring such questions as what the point of the human story is and what a good future for humanity would truly involve. (Spoiler alert: it includes solving problems on Earth.)Bramble does not think we should get out of space entirely. On the contrary, he thinks that there is an important and exciting future in space science. Our activities in space, he tells us, should be animated by a curiosity about space itself rather than narrow economic or military interests. Autorid: Ben Bramble
