A natural disaster is a disaster caused by nature, such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches, lahars (volcanic mudslides), landslides, sinkholes, blizzards, drought, hailstorms, heat waves, hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons, Ice Ages, tornadoes, and wildfires. Epidemics caused by bacteria or viruses are sometimes considered natural disasters, but sometimes put into a different category. A biological threat such as locusts or toxic fungi could also be considered a natural disaster. The thing about natural disasters is that they can strike at any time in almost any place, even without warning. Throughout history, natural disasters had claimed millions or lives and destroyed countless properties. Their economic cost is rising relentlessly. This is because a growing share of the world’s population and economic activity is being concentrated in disaster-prone places: on tropical coasts and river deltas, near forests and along earthquake fault lines. Some of the weather disasters can be predicted such as hurricanes and blizzards. The technology is getting better in predicting tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. By getting the data early people can be warned to take shelter or make the necessary preparations. There isn't any way to avoid natural disasters, but if people know what kinds of disasters are most likely where they live, they can learn what to do if a disaster happens in order to stay safe.
The first sound in his life was the murmur of the brook. Slow robocode, satisfied. First light in his life was stained with silver beam spring moon. The moon was getting low, a moment later over the horizon wyner- nulo the sun and sent its first beam through a long stone Ko the corridor has to foot Wrench, Allen stone in the center grey Col CA menhirs. Thirteen times struck his heart, until the child looked into the eyes of the priestess of the great Goddess, the Almighty of Sulevi, the wave of the hand which Roy inflamed and gas fire war, and the rivers changed their courses. For- the sacred Golden knife fell, shedding of sacrificial blood. But this blood was the blood of most of Sulevi, and not an obscure new- born baby. And the blood touched his lips before breast milk. Which cerned he did, however, have not tried, because he got out OK- revovling the altar. Got a child, but not a baby, and the mA- white six-year-old.

And promised Nightingale, which will make it free and joyful, not to touch his spirit no grief and reproach, that the world will be him in the RA- weal, and he and his songs - joy to the world.

But the dragon didn't want to promise anything. Just flashed a bloody crimson- CEM scales and silently said, you choose, Yes do not be mistaken in his choice, for the lives of many depend on this choice! Returning in the morning to the people, the boy said his name was Merlin. On the right his shoulder was really toporder feathers tattooed young black but gray Gyrfalcon. But on the right wrist, the elbow, smiled wise head the red dragon..."
- Mam, but I've never heard of! - You never know what you haven't heard... It was so, I'll go- speak! As a healer Ceridwen gave Merlin the love potion and slept with him, heard? Here is her grandson and told. I was in Rouen, when he told this part of the legend. - And how could it have failed to recognize - with the sign of the dragon?.. - Why and found out...
"...And he left the lake district, when the time came wandering, and his way lay to the South. And was not the way the long and dangerous - not Dol- above and no more dangerous than other paths leading to the heart of Logres in place, what is called the Crystal Cave. Not everyone has opened the door in the fry- dotacje forces, but the young Merlin didn't interfere. And he remained in the Cave for three of the moon, and then another three, that you- learn the tricks of the led only to the initiated. And faces of the crystal- tion eggs've seen his dreams and gave Merlin dreams of those who dreamed here before. Not opened the Cave to him the past and future, not lay heart of the Falcon to this, but opened his eyes so he could see the light the essence of things. And when the Cave was left behind, laid before Merlin three to the horns.

Merlin didn't choose any of these trails, for alien they would- if lost, the young magician. He smote the rock on rock, and born in the sparks opened his own way.

"So that's what the sign said... - Of course. - Mam, and if... - If no "if"? It is foolish to believe the tales of bards, but not to believe them - even sillier, Morra.
London London, the capital of Great Britain, is situated on the Thames River. It is the largest city in Europe with a population of eight and a quarter million. It is divided into four parts: the City, Westminster, the West End and the East End. The City is the business and commercial heart of London. Many banks, offices and firms are concentrated there. The Tower and St. Paul's Cathedral are in the centre. The Tower is about 900 years old. Many years ago it was a royal residence, then a prison. Now it is a museum. St. Paul's Cathedral is very large and fine. It was completed in 1710. The famous English architect Christopher Wren planned and built St. Paul's Cathedral. If the City is the business part of London, Westminster is the centre of administration. We can see the Houses of Parliament there. It is a beautiful building with two towers and a very big clock called Big Ben. The Houses of Parliament stand in Parliament Square. Westminster Abbey is opposite the Houses of Parliament. Many great Englishmen were buried in Westminster Abbey. To the west of Westminster Abbey you can see Buckingham Palace. It is the royal residence. The ceremony of the changing of the guards which takes place in front of Buckingham Palace is of great interest to the tourists. Rich people live in the West End. The best and most expensive clubs, restaurants and theatres, beautiful houses and parks are there. The East End — the district of plants, factories, slums and docks — is for the working people. London is unlike any other city in the world. It has rather wide streets but low houses. It looks very grey because there is so much rain and fog there. Only buses and pillar-boxes are red. This city has never been planned and it has many parts which are different from each other.
