Hiking Route | Loodusega koos RMK. I think most intresting for you ouer light nights end of the June- begining July. The idea for the RMK hiking route was born in the year 2000. The goal was to connect existing trails and campsites into one long route. The route was to be marked and described, additional campsites were to be constructed if necessary. First part of the future hiking route was the 70 km long Kõrve trail that leads from Oandu in Lahemaa national park to Aegviidu in Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve. Oandu-Ikla hiking route In July 2012 the first hiking route was opened. By the route you will find information boards that talk about forest management, heritage, culture and recreation. Aegviidu-Ähijärve hiking route In 2013 there was a new addition to the existing hiking route that goes from Aegviidu to Ähijärve. Aegviidu-Ähijärve hiking route goes through 8 counties, many nature reserves and exhibits on its 627 km many beautiful Estonian landscapes. The trail is marked with white-green-white paint markings and signpost at turning points.
20 Latin Phrases You Should Be Using You’d probably be surprised by how much Latin you actually already know. Hundreds of words—like memo, alibi, agenda, census, veto, alias, via, alumni, affidavit and versus—are all used in everyday English, as are abbreviations like i.e. (id est, "that is") and etc. (et cetera, "and the rest"). Besides fairly commonplace examples like these, however, English has adopted a number of much less familiar Latin phrases and expressions that go criminally underused—20 examples of which are listed here. It might seem odd to say that you’re "holding a wolf by the ears," but auribus teneo lupum—a line taken from Phormio (c.161BC), a work by the Roman playwright Terence—was once a popular proverb in Ancient Rome. A man described as barba tenus sapientes is literally said to be "wise as far as his beard"—or, in other words, he might look intelligent but he’s actually far from it. Apparently coined by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder, a brutum fulmen is a harmless or empty threat.

How to plan a round-the-world trip - travel tips and articles Itʼs the ultimate trip: circumnavigating the planet, and stopping off wherever takes your fancy. Great for travellers who want to see it all, or who are just plain indecisive. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be a complex business. Hereʼs our guide to getting started. How to do it The most economical way to circumnavigate is to buy a round-the-world air ticket that uses one airline alliance. There are rules: you must follow one global direction (east or west – no backtracking); you must start and finish in the same country; and you must book all your flights before departure, though you can change them later (which may incur extra charges). How long you need You could whip round the world in a weekend if you flew non-stop. When to go The weather will never be ideal in all your stops. Pin this image Image by Christian Steen Where to go The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets flit between a few big cities, for example London – Bangkok – Singapore – Sydney – LA.

Star Trek: The Final Frontier - Fate of the Universe The fate of the universe hinges upon the tendencies of an invisible force called dark energy. Dark energy is a repulsive force in opposition to gravity, essentially a sort of "anti-gravity." Where gravity tends to hold atoms together, dark energy pulls them apart. It is generally believed that about 70% of the universe is composed of dark energy. At this point, the effects of dark energy is only vaguely understood, but it is generally believed that the strength of the force created by dark energy does indeed hold the key to the universe's fate. Closed Universe If gravitational forces are ultimately more powerful than the forces exerted by dark energy, then, tens of billions of years in the future, the forces of gravity will ultimately halt the outward expansion of the universe. Though it is possible the universe itself will last forever, the myriad structures within its boundaries will almost certainly be destroyed. Dark Energy Open Universe Flat Universe
