Tourism

1. A group of West African countries is planning to create a “Slave Rout” for tourists, based on former slave forts, prisons and trading posts.

2. The first true restaurant, the Grande Taverne de Londres, opened in Paris in 1782, by Boulanger, “the father of modern restaurant”.

3. Human activity directed to satisfying needs by provision of respective goods and services is known as marketing.

4. People employed in hospitality industry are part of the product their company is selling.

5. Recently a company called LeasureLand has come up with a project which, besides the Quarrytorium, also includes hotels, conference facilities, shops and restaurants, and a sports center.

6. Having endured the lengthy wait to get their luggage, clients are put on coaches and minibuses to their final destinations.

7. Frequent business travelers – known as “road warriors” in hotel jargon because they make more than twenty business trips a year – want greater emphasis on service from hotels before new technological developments such as checking in and out with smart cards.

8. The hotel industry has never been a leading industry; rather, it generally reacts to circumstances.

9. Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism

10. Travel is the transport of people on a trip/journey or the process or time involved in a person or object moving from one location to another.

11. Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries that delivers a travel experience, including transportation, accommodations, eating and drinking establishments, retail shops, entertainment businesses, activity facilities and other hospitality services provided for individuals or groups traveling away from home.

12. Mathieson and Wall (1982) created a good working definition of tourism as "the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence, the activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created to cater to their needs."

13. The market represents a huge opportunity with new investment opportunities and new service requirements, usually not provided by the regular travel agencies.

14. Being privately-owned, these hostels can offer the latest technology and services for guests.

15. Many environmentalists have argued for a global standard of accreditation, differentiating ecotourism companies based on their level of environmental commitment.

16. Adventure travel is a type of tourism involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas, where the traveler should "expect the unexpected".

19. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is a United Nations agency dealing with questions relating to tourism.

Psychology

1. The researchers used an instrument called a functional magnetic resonance imager to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people.

2. Trying to fit into any image frequently lead us into self-destructive acts and behaviors.

3. The argument supporting this belief is based on another commonly held belief – that information is permanently stored in long-term memory.

4. There were experiments conducted where subjects saw a short film of a mentally shocking event.

5. Effective revision always involves rework material, making notes on notes, perhaps re-ordering information in light of newly-observed connections.

6. Behavioral psychologists view anxiety as an unfortunate learned response to frightening events in real life; the anxiety produced becomes attached to the surrounding circumstances associated with that event, so that those circumstances come to trigger anxiety in the person independently of any frightening event.

7. The misinformation effect is a term used to describe the phenomenon which occurs when exposure to new information (including one’s own thoughts) after witnessing an event can lead people to believe that they have seen or experienced something they never did.

8. Once perceived, information is not passively stored in memory and during this retention interval external information influences and changes the witness’s memory to such an extent that it dramatically alters their recollections of the original event.

9. Minimum requirements for registration is an approved four year bachelors degree majoring in psychology and either two years of further accredited study or two years of work supervised by a registered psychologist.

Law

1. Judges, being aware of their limited power, seldom render decisions that they know to be so lacking in support that they will not be enforced.

2. Prosecution is on behalf of the public, represented by some official such as a district attorney, procurator, or a police officer.

3. Specialized tribunals of many kinds exist, varying from nation to nation.

4. Some people suppose law is something veiled in mystery permitting us to enjoy rights within the framework of an ordered society.

5. The laws laid down by Hammurabi were more extensive than any that had gone before.

6. Who will protect the people being routinely brutalized for being the wrong color or being homeless or poor?

7. Ordeal is judgment of the truth of some claim or accusation by various means based on the belief that the outcome will reflect the judgment of supernatural powers and that these powers will ensure the triumph of right.

8. An arrested person must be taken to a police station (if he or she is not already at one) as soon as practicable after arrest.

9. Depending on the basis of classification, law is divided first of all into such areas as substantive and procedural, public and private, criminal and civil.

10. Scotland Yard keeps extensive files on all known criminals in the United Kingdom.

11. In 1663 the city of London began paying watchmen (generally old men who were unable to find other work) to guard the streets at night.

12. As used by Thomas Hobbes in his treatises Leviathan and De Cive, natural law is a precept, or general rule, found out by reason, by which a man is forbidden to do that which is destructive of his life, or takes away the means of preserving the same; and to omit that by which he thinks it may best be preserved.

13. There is thus a comprehensive regime dealing with group rights, the treatment of aliens, the rights of refugees, international crimes, nationality problems, and human rights generally.

Aircraft Building

1. Spoilers are aerodynamic devices which break up or spoil laminar flow of air about the wing, giving an increased drag and a decreased lift.

2. They develop thrust using the power of their rocket engines and do not need air for support.

3. On these data the flight dispatcher starts preparing the flight plan to the point of destination.

4. He finds out the actual pay-load figures and calculates the required fuel figure to make sure that the maximum takeoff weight will not be exceeded.

5. Careful records should be kept of all breakdowns, service, and fitting of new components, together with accurate costing for such work.

6. This information is valuable when studying the reliability of units or components, and provides the engineer and management with a good indication of overall costing when equipment is due for replacement.

7. When all the obvious points have been checked, and the fault recurs, an exchange chassis offers a solution in that the faulty unit can be returned to the service department and tested over a long period with meters and indicators connected to the individual circuits.

8. A cardboard box (suitably lagged) over the unit while it is operating on the bench will produce conditions similar to the actual installation and accelerates the inception of fault conditions.

9. The principal method of directional control is by applying differential collective pitch through the rudder pedals and this is arranged so that the combined thrust of the rotors remains constant during thrust.

10. Once inside the tube, the air slows down because the tube widens. The kinetic energy released by this loss of velocity is converted into pressure energy and heat, and this corresponds to the compression stage in the piston engine.

11. The engines operating on the vectored thrust principle are excellent at low speeds and for hovering.

12. A depression created by the exhausting gases allows the valves to open and repeat the cycle.

13. The first true turbine-equipped jetplane was the Heinkel He 178 (Germany), piloted by Erich Warsitz in 1939 (August 27, 1939).

14. The most common problems occur with gas trapped in the gastrointestinal tract, the middle ear and the par nasal sinuses.

15. Hot combustion products leaving the combustor expand through the turbine where power is extracted to drive the compressor.

16. The gas stream exiting the turbine expands to ambient pressure via the propelling nozzle, producing a high velocity jet in the exhaust plume.

17. The compressor rotates at very high speed, adding energy to the airflow and at the same time squeezing (compressing) it into a smaller space.

18. Less than 25% of the air is involved in combustion, in some engines as little as 12%, the rest acting as a reservoir to absorb the heating effects of the burning fuel.

19. Smouldering combustion is a flameless form of combustion, deriving its heat from heterogeneous reactions occurring on the surface of a solid fuel when heated in an oxidizing environment.

20. The twisting of the fuselage broke the connections from the emergency battery in the tail cone, extinguishing the cabin lights.
