Between August and November 1888, the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of five brutal murders. He was rightly called Jack the Ripper. The ripper was an infamous serial killer. He was the first serial killer to do so in a largely populated area, although it seemed he had no malice for other people. The ripper also had no accomplices and accessories to the crime. Another fact was that he escaped with no charges. All the women murdered were prostitutes, and all except for one (Elizabeth Stride) were horribly mutilated.
His method of attack was to let these prostitutes ‘seduce’ him into using them for their services, which at that time he would strangle them, making them unconscious and killing them, this was done by stalking his victims. This was no motive in his killing either. Oddly enough, it is shown that Jack the Ripper that this murderer was nice to his victims in certain ways.
The first murder, of Mary Ann Nicholls, took place on 31 August. Her throat was cut and her abdomen was cut open brutally, it showed the intestines. She was found by Mr. Llewellyn.
Annie Chapman was killed on 8 September. Her throat was cut and was very maimed. The abdomen was cut open and her intestines were placed on her shoulders.
Elizabeth Stride was murdered on 30 September. Her throat was cut, but she wasn’t maimed. She was found by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Blackwell.
Catherine Eddoweson was also murdered on 30 September. Her throat was cut, her abdomen was cut open and the intestines were placed on her right shoulder. She had a lot of injuries in her face and her left kidney removed. Pieces of Eddowes apron were found in the doorway of a building in Goulston Street. Above her was written a message with chalk: ‘ The juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing’.
Mary Jane Kelly was killed on 9 November. She was the youngest and most comfortable of Jack’s victims and she was the most and badly maimed. Many think that she was the only intentional victim. She was murdered in her own room and her heart was missing.
There had been much speculation as to the identity of the killer. It has been suggested that he or she was a doctor or butcher, based on the evidence of weapons and the mutilations that occurred, which showed a knowledge of human anatomy.
Violence to prostitutes wasn’t uncommon and there were many instances of women being brutalised, but the nature of these murders strongly suggests a single perpetrator.
Jack the Ripper was never caught and he is not thought to have killed again after November 1888.

In the future, everyone wants to have a home for themselves and me too and I also want that.  So my imagination of a perfect home would be a quiet, spacious and beautiful house located by the sea.
  The most attractive location in the house will be the garden, which will be a perfect and quiet place to relax and appreciate nature and people.  The garden will be an abandoned area on the grounds surrounded by thousands of flowers of different colors, and a floating gazebo and fountain in the center of the garden will attract both birds and visitors.
  The bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms will be spacious and cream or white with paintings and fountains on the wall to beautify each room.  Enter the living room through the double glazed doors with a beautiful staircase in the living room leading to the second floor, where there are six comfortable bedrooms with a master bathroom, spacious beds and expensive furniture in each room.
  The exterior of the building will be painted cream and white and surrounded by gardens of flowers and herbs.  Swimming pools and gym rooms will be located behind the building and with ample parking on the left side of the building.
  Everyone's dream and imagination after a stressful day is to return home to relax and spend lovely moments with their loved ones in a safe and dynamic environment of their own choosing.  .  Walk through the splendid garden into a lovely living room, to a comfortable bedroom, look out the window to the sea and the beauty of the nature in my garden will be a perfect picture of a future home  mine.  Regardless of whether it is good or interesting outside anywhere in the world, there is no place like home.

Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage we can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean. In the country there are many plant species. There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams. In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests. You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking mushrooms or hunting. Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs. Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower. What is more, you can invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden. It would be great! The other positive side is the safety. In the rural area the crime rate is much lower. There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the possibility of burglary is also lower. In the countryside people usually and keep eyes on neighbour's estates. They always react when something strange is happening. Country life is very peaceful and silent. You will enjoy the feeling of peace.

However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also some disadvantages. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time. People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city. On the other hand, they don't earn so much money. Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time. The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city. The problem may be also the communication. If you don't have your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work. The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village. Last of all, there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall.

To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier. The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage.

The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, dust and gas. The inner solar system contains the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The main asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet).

Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun, outward into the emptiness of outer space.

The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Balanced between flying towards the Sun and escaping into space, they spend eternity orbiting around their parent star.

The Planets orbit in the same direction (counter-clockwise looking down from above the Sun’s North Pole); all but Venus, Uranus and Pluto also rotate in that same sense. Mercury has the fastest elliptical orbit,

48 km per second. It has the shortest revolution at 88 days. Pluto has an orbital speed of 5 km per second. It takes 248 years for Pluto to make one complete revolution.

The Solar System has eight planets, arranged in order of distance from closest to farthest from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Mercury is the planet closest to the sun and it's also the smallest, only slightly larger than Earth's moon. It's a planet in the solar system named after the Roman gods. The 2nd Planet in the Solar System – Venus is the second planet from the Sun, Venus is the twin size of Earth. The surface has many different mountains and volcanoes.It is name after the roman god mercury , who was the fast flying messenger of the god. Earth is the third planet closest to the solar system, and the only planet with life. The fourth planet closest to the sun is Mars and the second smallest planet in the solar system. It is named after the roman god of war. The 5th planet in the Solar System – Jupiter is a gas giant. This is the largest planet in the system our sun. This is a planet named after the god of thunder and lightning. 6th Planet in the Solar System – Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, Saturn is best known for its rings. It is name after roman god of agriculture. Uranus - the seventh planet in the Solar System has extremely strange and interesting features. Uranus is the first planet in the Solar System to be discovered using only a telescope. 8th planet in the Solar System – Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun, Neptune is about the same size as Uranus. It is name after the roman god of the sea

Emperor Tu Duc enjoyed the longest reign of any monarch of the Nguyen dynasty, ruling from 1848-83. Although he had over a hundred wives and concubines, he was unable to father a son (possibly he became sterile after contracting smallpox). Thus, it fell to him to write his own epitaph on the deeds of his reign. He felt this was a bad omen, but the epitaph can still be found inscribed on the stele in the pavilion just to the east of the Emperor's tomb. This stele is the largest of its type in Vietnam, and had to be brought here from a quarry over 500 kilometers away--a trip that took four years.

Tu Duc began planning his tomb long before his death in 1883. The major portions of the tomb complex were completed from 1864-67, along with future temple buildings that served as a palatial retreat for Tu Duc and his many wives during his lifetime. Construction of the tomb demanded so much corvee labor and extra taxation that there was an abortive coup against Tu Duc in 1866. This was put down, and for the remainder of his life, Tu Duc continued to use the tomb's palace buildings as his place of residence.

Amenities for the living are unmatched at any other tomb in Vietnam. Here, the Emperor could boat on the lake and hunt small game on the tiny island in the lake's middle. He could recline at Xung Khiem Pavilion and recite or compose poetry in the company of his concubines. After trips on the lake, the boats would moor at Du Khiem Pavilion, from which the Emperor and his entourage could walk directly west into the palace area of the tomb.

After the Emperor's death in 1883 his adopted son Kien Phuc took over as the Nguyen Emperor. Perhaps because he only ruled seven months before dying, a separate tomb was not established for him. Instead, he was laid to rest in a small corner on the grounds of Tu Duc's tomb. Between the tombs of Tu Duc and his son is the tomb of Empress Le Thien Anh, Tu Duc's primary wife.

Interestingly, despite the grandeur of the site and the amount of time Tu Duc spent here, he was actually buried in a different, secret location somewhere in Hue. To keep the secret safe the 200 laborers who buried the king were all beheaded after they returned from the secret route. To this day, the real tomb of Tu Duc remains hidden for future generations to discover.
