This comes from the American custom of burying hawks and other weapons as a sign that hostilities between the American Indians and the White had ended. Nowadays, this idiom is used to refer to coming to peaceful terms with an opponent.
I sit and wait.
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'Cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold.
So when I'm lying in my bed,
Thoughts running through my head,
And I feel that love is dead,
I'm loving angels instead.
And through it all she offers me protection,
A lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call, she won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead.
When I'm feeling weak,
And my pain walks down a one-way street.
I look above,
And I know I'll always be blessed with love,
And as the feeling grows,
She breathes flesh to my bones,
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead.
And through it all she offers me protection,
A lot of love and affection,
Whether I'm right or wrong.
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me,
I know that life won't break me.
When I come to call, she won't forsake me,
I'm loving angels instead.

White elephants, also known as albino elephants, were considered holy in ancient times, specially in some Asian countries. To keep these animals was very expensive, because it was necessary to give them special food, and also to give access to the people who wanted to worship them. In Thailand, if a king was dissatisfied with someone, he would give him a white elephant, which would surely make that person lose all his money. Nowadays, this expression is used to refer to something that costs a lot of money to maintain but is useless.

Food on airlines is about what you would expect, considering that all the food must be prepared ahead of time and served to a large number of people with very different taste preferences. It is amazing that the food is as good as it is, but still, it frequently will not please you. Starry, starry night,
paint your palette blue and gray.
Look out on a summer's day,
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills.
Sketch the trees and the daffodils.
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
in colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand,
what you tried to say to me.
And how you suffered for your sanity.
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze.
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue.
Morning fields of amber grain.
Weathered faces lined in pain,
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand,
what you tried to say to me.
And how you suffered for your sanity,
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you,
but still your love was true.
And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night,
you took your life as lovers often do.
But I could have told you Vincent,
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night,portraits hung in empty halls.
Frameless heads on nameless walls,
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
the ragged men in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn, a bloody rose,
lie crushed and broken on the virgin soil.
Now I think I know,what you tried to say to me.
And how you suffered for your sanity,
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.
Henry VIII, born in 1491, was the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. The significance of Henry's reign is, at times, overshadowed by his six marriages: dispensing with these forthwith enables a deeper search into the major themes of the reign.

The sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the sight of the seagulls swooping overhead and the smell of sunscreen create an engaging place called South Padre Island. Located where one can relax and experience good times on the beach, South Padre Island offers an island-getaway adventure not soon to be forgotten. The sun, sand, and endless ocean make South Padre unlike any place I have ever been. When I am on the beach at South Padre Island, I know I am in paradise.Perhaps the simplest delight of South Padre is the beach itself. This sparkling retreat embraces unbounded miles of sand. During the day the warmth of the sun beats down upon this sand, making beachgoers spring as their feet hit the blistering sand. However, closer to the Gulf of Mexico where the water moistens and cools the beach, children giggle as their sand castles are overtaken by a massive wave. Sun worshippers spend hours lying upon them in an attempt to soak up even more blistering rays. The sand provides a soft cover as a teenager dives after the ball in the annual summer volleyball tournament, and it cushions two old men who swap stories as they wait for the hungry game fish that swim the waters of Padre Island. Looking across the beach, I see a rainbow of umbrellas and seashells of exquisite design and enchanting colors: a vision of paradise.
Another attraction of South Padre is the Gulf. The rushing waves both calm and provide amusement for many tourists. I could never truly understand complete tranquility until I stood on the shoreline of Padre Island at night. The feel of the breeze, the smell of the salt water, and the sight of the boat lights in the distance soothed my senses in a way that nothing else could. During the hot days these waters are filled with busy tourists. They struggle to stay on top of each wave, some only to be swallowed in the swelling waters, rising with the taste of salt running down their throats. Still, they are mysteriously eager to try again.
Padre Island attracts all types of people searching for the delight that this island offers. During spring break a group of friends water-ski, making the water momentarily part as the skis rip through it like a razor through a sheet. A young couple in love sits by the shore watching as the sun sets, feeling that time has somehow stopped and the world is revolving around them for that moment. On the other side of the beach, a pair of adoring grandparents closely watch their loved grandchildren. These young ones, teased with the water’s mysteries, stare curiously at the waves hitting their feet and returning to the Gulf. While visiting South Padre, a watery paradise, guests create memories.
South Padre Island meets each of its visitors’ individual needs. Its main function is to provide satisfaction for its many guests. The feeling that overwhelms me when my bare feet hit the sand of the shore for the first time is one of delight. I feel totally free of all cares and burdens. Whether it is fun I am seeking or a place to rest and rejuvenate myself, Padre Island is the finest destination to accommodate my every wish—it’s.

Witchcraft was not made a capital offence in Britain until 1563 although it was deemed heresy and was denounced as such by Pope Innocent III in 1484. from 1484 until around 1750 some 200,000 witches were tortured, burnt or hanged in Western Europe.
It was Christmas 2002, and I was appearing in an opera in London. My career as a singer has always been at the centre of my life, but because my mother had just died, I decided to do what she had asked: I took a year’s sabbatical. I also made another decision. I’d fly to Peru to meet a young man called Nick López.
What seems to have surprised the health authorities most about the current anti-smoking campaign is the fact that it appears to be having very little effect on the younger sectors of society. However, this is hardly surprising. You can certainly frighten older people with cancer, imminent slow death and other such dangers, but most under twenty-year-olds can’t even conceive what this means. They can’t see far enough ahead to fear death: if they imagine their own funeral, it is a self-indulgent vision, with all their favourite friends sobbing and saying how unfortunate and gorgeous they were. Young people live in the right now, and what they are really afraid of, right now, is smelling bad and looking ugly. You can frighten 16-year-olds with an exaggerated threat of smoker’s halitosis, that sickly smell that no amount of chewing gum can get rid of. You know – the smell that other people detect even when you can’t; the kind that makes members of the opposite sex turn away when you try to kiss them for the first time.
Experts say there are still large gaps in scientific knowledge about what radiation is doing to users’ bodies and brains. The results of a three-year study highlighted continuing uncertainty over the safety of handsets. Parents were urged to limit mobile phone use by children because of the potential damage. Campaigners have long feared that users of Britain’s 50 million phones are risking cancer, brain damage, Alzheimer’s disease, sleeping disorders and memory loss because of radiation emitted by handsets directly into the head. Now the report says there may be other hidden problems because mobiles have been in widespread use among British people for only a few years.
Some employers recruit graduates after a half hour personal interview. This is done in a formal setting, between two people, one of whom controls the conversation. There are always parts of interviews which are different from what is expected. The interviewer may not start at the beginning, and this can be difficult. You will have to order and clarify your thoughts quickly as the interviewer jumps from one point to the other. "Situational questions" are where the interviewer describes a work situation and asks for your solution. Generally you are recommended to think aloud - identify the key points and clarify the information, adding a dash of common sense.I close my eyes, only for a moment,
and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.
Some tourists prefer to travel in groups, with their holiday planned in advance for them, on what are known as .package tours.. However, the advantages of planning your holiday yourself are considerable. You are free to choose exactly where and when you want to go, how you want to travel, and how long you want to stay. You can avoid the large resorts, whereas holidaymakers on package tours are often trapped among crowds of other tourists. You can eat the food of the region at reasonable prices in local restaurants, while they are served with "international" dishes and chips with everything.
When a reader reads a text, an "understanding" of the text is created in the reader's mind. It is convenient to introduce the technical term "situation model" in order to refer to this understanding of a text which is created in the mind of a reader. The process of constructing a situation model is called the "comprehension process", while operations such as "text recall", "text summarization", and "text question-answering" generate scientifically observable events as a by-product of the interactions of the situation model and other knowledge structures in the reader's mind.
I don’t think that television has contributed much to our lives; in fact it gives us by its own nature a wrong slant. Perhaps the cardinal weakness in its development arose from its concern with entertainment rather than with information. Pictures on the screen have been used more to affect than to instruct. Even the news programmes set out to encourage more reaction and less reflection. Pictures shown briefly do not make you think, they merely invite you to look for the sequel, the next picture. The more you see the less you remember; you see too much to remember anything specific. The process of viewing is passive and the result of viewing is passive, too. One of the most effective documentaries shown on TV was a programmeMama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

I can't shoot them anymore.

Eating the right foods in the right amounts is called having a balanced diet. This is very important because your body needs daily amounts of different things and no one food has all the things that your body needs to stay healthy and work properly. Most people know that eating the right food is important for physical health. But what a lot of people don´t realise is that food can affect your mental health too.

In the classification of animals there is an order called Primates. In their appearence the primates resemble the human being more than any other animals do. It is natural to deduce that they are more closely related to human beings than any other animals are. In fact, the human being must be included as a primate, if any sense at all is to be made of animal classification. 
Tobacco firms have admitted putting 600 secret ingredients and additives in cigarettes, the Healt Secretary disclosed yesterday. Alan Milburn promised that the list would be published in full within weeks so that consumers, for the first time, would “know that they are smoking”.
Only in the past century have concerted efforts been made to represent women's contributions more fully in history books. Consequently, changes in status for many women in modern times—the right to own property, to vote, and to choose their own careers—may have obscured the accomplishments made by women of earlier eras...
