The Golden Age of Kazakh Animation

08 Декабря 2010, реферат

A land that was home for many singers, poets, composers and writers of the steppe, has given a birth to animation considerably late than any other parts. It is due to Russian influence Amen Khaidarov took courage to create first Kazakh animation in 1967 in studio of Almaty City, “Kazakhfilm”. I find a strange, yet interesting parallelism in Amen Khaidarov’s personality and Normen McLaren’s biographical parts related to the work in National Film Board. They have a lot in common. Both of them could not resist temptation to express themselves in animation for the first time in governmental studio. Both of them started everything from zero in this field, and eventually, after time-consuming and challenging tasks they deserved to be remembered for many generations. The first child of Kazakh animation was not created from vacuum. There is a solid fundament for the school of animators from every single part of USSR: “Soyuzmultfilm” acquired a prestigious status in animation art; Georgian, Ukrainian, Armenian studios independently built up their own animation different from their cinematography.

The great pyramid of Cheops

11 Февраля 2012, статья

How the Great Pyramid was built is a question that may never be answered. Herodotus said that it would have taken 30 years and 100,000 slaves to have built it. Another theory is that it was built by peasants who were unable to work the land while the Nile flooded between July and November. They may have been paid with food for their labor. The flooded waters would have also aided in the moving of the casing stones. These stones were brought from Aswan and Tura and the water would have brought the stones right to the pyramid. This pyramid is thought to have been built between 2589 - 2566 BC.

In the bosom of one of those spacious coves which indent the eastern shore of the Hudson, at that broad expansion of the river denominated by the ancient Dutch navigators the Tappan Zee, and where they always prudently shortened sail and implored the protection of St. Nicholas when they crossed, there lies a small market town or rural port, which by some is called Greensburgh, but which is more generally and properly known by the name of Tarry Town.

The meaning of the word

31 Марта 2013, курсовая работа

The definition of lexical meaning has been attempted more than once in accordance with the main principles of different linguistic schools. The disciples of F. de Saussure consider meaning to be the relation between the object or notion named, and the name itself. Descriptive linguistics of the Bloomfieldian trend defines the meaning as the situation in which the word is uttered. Both ways of approach afford no possibility of a further investigation of semantic problems in strictly linguistic terms, and therefore, if taken as a basis for general linguistic theory, give no insight into the mechanism of meaning.
