text:
Navă militară (sau navă de război) este o navă specială destinată războiului naval și care face parte din marina militară a unui stat.
Aceasta poate fi o navă de suprafață sau una submersibilă. Navele de război posedă sisteme de arme care le permit să atace, să se apere singure sau să protejeze alte unități navale.

Definiția legală și drepturile unei nave de război
În conformitate cu Convenția Națiunilor Unite asupra dreptului mării (articolul 29), definiția unei nave de război este:

Semnele exterioare distinctive ale navelor militare, în sensul acestei convenții, diferă în funcție de țară, principalul semn distinctiv fiind pavilionul național arborat la pupa navei.

În conformitate cu dreptul internațional, o navă de război este considerată ca parte a teritoriului statului al cărui pavilion național îl poartă. Prin urmare sosirea sa într-un port și în apele aflate sub suveranitatea unei terțe țări se face conform unei autorizări obținute pe cale diplomatică; cu toate acestea, ea are, la fel ca și alte nave, dreptul de "pasaj (trecere) inofensiv" în apele teritoriale ale unei terțe țări. Legile și reglementările țării gazdă nu se aplică la bordul navei care face escală sau doar trece prin apele teritoriale ale acestei țări. Acesta este principiul extrateritorialității navelor de război, precum și a altor nave auxiliare care contribuie la acțiunile navale și nu au activități comerciale.

În unele lucrări de specialitate se face distincție între nave militare și nave de război, în sensul că din categoria navelor militare, pe lângă navele de război, mai fac parte și unele nave auxiliare (nave tehnice, dragoare, nave-atelier, nave-școală etc.); totuși, având în vedere că aceste nave auxiliare pot fi înarmate și chiar pot lua parte la luptele navale, și ele pot fi considerate nave de război.

Evoluția în timp a navelor de război

În antichitate

Civilizațiile care au dezvoltat navigația în bazinul mediteranean (egiptenii, fenicienii și grecii) nu foloseau inițial nave specializate pentru război, în luptele navale fiind utilizate navele de transport. Denumite generic galere, aceste nave erau propulsate manual, cu ajutorul vâslelor, dar foloseau și vele ca mijloc secundar de propulsie.

Primele nave militare, construite și utilizate special pentru luptele navale, au fost realizate de unele polisuri care aveau deja adevărate flote de nave comerciale. Astfel, în secolul al VII-lea î.Hr., Ameinocles din Corint construiește primele trireme, sau "triere", nave de război cu trei rânduri de vâsle, ușoare, rapide și cu calități manevriere deosebite. Ulterior au apărut și nave cu patru și chiar cinci rânduri de vâsle.

Atena antică a fost prima mare putere navală (în sensul modern al cuvântului), întreținând o flotă militară permanentă, în secolul al V-lea î.Hr. Deținând hegemonia în cadrul Ligii de la Delos, a încercat să impună această hegemonie asupra întregii lumi grecești, sprijinindu-se îndeosebi pe flota ei de război, dar nu a reușit.

Bazinul vestic al Mării Mediterane a fost marcat în secolul al III-lea î.Hr. de Războaiele Punice dintre Cartagina și Republica Romană. Deși majoritatea bătăliilor au fost terestre, au avut importanță și victoriile navale ale romanilor și aliaților lor, cetățile elene din Sicilia (îndeosebi Siracuza).

Cu toate că romanii nu aveau o tradiție în arta navigației, treptat ei și-au creat o flotă militară proprie () redutabilă, folosindu-se de experiența și resursele cetăților pe care le-au cucerit în perioada lor de expansiune. La început, această flotă era alcătuită îndeosebi din nave străine capturate sau cumpărate, iar echipajele erau recrutate dintre cetățenii claselor inferioare sau chiar dintre sclavi. Tactica de luptă era asemănătoare cu cea a bătăliilor terestre: corăbiile inamice erau prinse și imobilizate cu ajutorul unor bare lungi, prevăzute cu un cârlig la capăt, după care legionarii treceau la bordul acestora, atacând corp la corp, ca pe uscat. Mai târziu, datorită îndeosebi calităților lor organizatorice, concretizate prin reguli precise pentru construcția navelor și printr-o legislație navală, romanii au devenit stăpânii absoluți ai Mediteranei. Principala navă de război a rămas trirema, dar în secolul I î.Hr. a fost introdusă cu succes și . Mai mică decât trirema și cu forme mai fine, liburna avea o viteză bună și era foarte manevrabilă.

În Evul Mediu

Principala navă de război din Evul Mediu rămâne galera, deși spre sfârșitul acestei perioade își fac apariția velierele, nave propulsate numai de forța vântului captată de sistemul de velatură.

Cu toate că vikingii au perfecționat arta navigației, fiind primii care au renunțat la a mai naviga doar "la vedere" (în apropierea coastelor maritime) și s-au aventurat în largul Oceanului Atlantic, navele lor, vestitele "drakkare" nu pot fi considerate strict nave de război, ele servind și la explorare și transport de mărfuri. Carena acestui tip de nave avea coaste din lemn de stejar și era uneori căptușită cu plăci de aramă. Arcuit, cu etrava sculptată în formă de cap de balaur și cu etamboul în formă de coadă de șarpe, corpul navei era decorat și vopsit astfel încât să intimideze potențialii inamici. Drakkarele erau corăbii iuți care puteau naviga independent de vânt, având și vâsle, pe lângă velatură. Direcția de navigație era asigurată cu ajutorul unei singure rame mari, amplasată în tribord, la pupa, ce servea drept cârmă.

Principala navă militară utilizată în Evul Mediu de către Imperiul Roman de Răsărit era dromonul. Cea mai veche mențiune acestui tip de navă se regăsește într-un document din Ravenna (secolul al V-lea), dar și în Corpus juris civilis redactat sub împăratul Iustinian cel Mare (529). Dromoanele mai mari aveau un xylokastron, castel central de lemn, acoperit cu piele și uneori cu plăci metalice, amplasat între primul și al doilea catarg, echipat cu baliste sau catapulte și cu syfonofo-rami (aruncătoare ale focului grecesc). La provă, unele dromoane aveau un pinten de metal cu care puteau să străpungă navele inamice.

Navele cu pânze (caravela, caraca, galionul etc.) apărute spre sfârșitul Evului Mediu, a căror dezvoltare a făcut posibilă perioada marilor descoperiri geografice din secolele XV-XVI, se pretau la instalarea gurilor de foc (tunuri) la bordul lor, datorită deplasamentului superior celui al galerelor. Ultima mare bătălie navală dusă aproape în întregime de galere a avut loc la Lepanto (7 octombrie 1571), când flota , o coaliție de state maritime catolice, a învins decisiv principala flotă a Imperiului Otoman, marcând astfel sfârșitul dominației turcești în Marea Mediterană.

În epoca modernă

În secolul al XVII-lea, odată cu dezvoltarea velierelor și cu perfecționarea artileriei, își face apariția nava de linie, navă militară prevăzută cu numeroase guri de foc amplasate pe una sau mai multe punți. Aceste nave erau prevăzute cu deschideri speciale (numite "saborduri") în ambele borduri, în dreptul cărora erau poziționate tunurile; în timpul navigației sabordurile erau închise cu obloane mobile de lemn, obloane care erau ridicate numai în momentul efectuării tragerilor de artilerie. Având tunurile amplasate în borduri, în timpul bătăliilor navale acest tip de nave se așezau în șir ("linie de șir"), una după alta, pentru o eficacitate maximă a focului artileriei, de unde și denumirea de "nave de linie".

O navă de linie celebră, prin dimensiunile sale impresionante, a fost . Lansată la apă în 1637, la Woolwich, pentru marina regală engleză, această navă cu trei punți avea un deplasament de 1500 t și era înzestrată cu 100 de tunuri de calibre diferite. Carena sa avea o lungime de 42 m și o lățime de 14 m, respectând regula valabilă pe atunci a raportului 1/3 între lățimea maximă și lungime, iar catargul mare avea o înălțime de 134 m.

O altă navă de linie cu trei punți, de dimensiuni comparabile, a fost nava amiral suedeză Vasa, înzestrată cu 64 de tunuri. Lansată la apă în 1628, s-a scufundat în Marea Baltică la scurt timp după aceea, din cauza unor erori de proiectare și construcție. În 1961 a fost scoasă la suprafață, fiind în prezent una dintre cele mai vechi nave păstrate în forma lor autentică.

Alte nave militare cu pânze utilizate în secolele XVII-XIX au fost fregatele și corvetele. Fregata era un velier cu trei catarge, cu forme fine și armonioase, rapidă și cu o mobilitate deosebită. Primele fregate au apărut la începutul secolului al XVII-lea și erau destinate acțiunilor de recunoaștere, urmărire, pază și de legătură între navele de linie. Erau dotate cu o artilerie puternică, a cărei clasă este intermediară între nava de linie și corvetă. Corveta era o navă cu trei catarge, rapidă, mai mică decât fregata, armată cu 20-30 de tunuri. Erau folosite pentru patrulare, pentru a trimite mesaje între navele unei flote și, uneori, pentru a escorta navele comerciale.

Una dintre cele mai celebre bătălii navale din epoca navelor cu pânze a fost Bătălia de la Trafalgar (21 octombrie 1805), în care o flotă a Marinei Regale Britanice, condusă în mod strălucit de Amiralul Nelson, a învins flota unită franco-spaniolă.

În secolul al XIX-lea

Secolul al  XIX-lea a adus noi și importante inovații în evoluția navelor de război. Noile metode de construcții navale, propulsia navelor cu ajutorul motoarelor cu abur și noile tipuri de proiectile de artilerie au făcut ca începând cu al doilea sfert al secolului XIX să se poată vorbi despre o predominanță a oțelului, aburului și obuzului în marina militară.

Războiul Crimeii (1853-1856) a dus, printre altele, la o dezvoltare rapidă a construirii navelor de război și a armamentului acestora. Deoarece introducerea proiectilelor explozive (obuze) făcea ravagii asupra navelor construite din lemn, unele dintre aceste nave au început să fie blindate cu plăci de oțel pe părțile laterale ale cocii și pe puntea superioară. După Războiul Crimeii au apărut și primele nave militare având blindaj complet: nava franceză Gloire (1858) și cele engleze HMS Warrior și HMS Black Prince.

În a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea, navele de linie cu vele au început a fi înlocuite cu cuirasate propulsate cu motoare cu abur, în timp ce fregatelor cu pânze le-au luat locul crucișătoarele propulsate, de asemenea, cu ajutorul motoarelor.

De asemenea, armamentul navelor de război s-a modernizat odată cu introducerea turelei, care permitea ca tunurile să fie rapid orientate independent de direcția de navigare. Prima luptă consemnată în istorie dintre două nave blindate a avut loc la  (9 martie 1862), în timpul Războiului Civil American, între USS Monitor, aparținând United States Navy, și nava confederată . Deși lupta s-a terminat indecis, observatorii militari americani și europeni au remarcat superioritatea tactică a artileriei amplasate în turele, așa cum avea USS Monitor.

A început o adevărată cursă a înarmărilor între marile puteri navale ale vremii, fiecare dorind să posede un număr cât mai mare de nave blindate. În 1876, francezii au lansat la apă nava Redoutable, prima navă de război având carena complet metalică. Aceasta avea un blindaj cu o grosime maximă de 350 mm, era propulsată de două elice acționate fiecare de câte un motor cu abur și avea ca armament principal 8 tunuri de calibrul 270 mm și 6 tunuri de calibrul 140 mm. Răspunsul britanicilor nu s-a lăsat așteptat, aceștia lansând la apă în 1882 nava HMS Colossus, cu blindajul de grosimea 350 mm și înarmată cu 4 tunuri de calibrul 300 mm și 5 tunuri de calibrul 152 mm. HMS Colossus, cu un deplasament de 9420 tone avea o viteză maximă remarcabilă pentru acea perioadă: 16,5 noduri (30,558 km/h).

După inventarea torpilei au apărut noi nave de luptă: torpiloarele. Mici și rapide, torpiloarele păreau să ofere o alternativă la construirea flotelor costisitoare de cuirasate.

În secolul XX

Prima jumătate a secolului al XX-lea a consemnat dominația cuirasatului ca principală navă de război. Urmaș al navei de linie (ca forță de șoc pe mări și oceane), cuirasatul a devenit "nava de linie a secolului XX".

Față de navele blindate din secolul precedent, cuirasatele s-au dezvoltat ca deplasament, grosime a blindajului și forță a artileriei de la bord (prin sporirea numărului de guri de foc și a calibrului acestora). De asemenea, deși mai grele, viteza și manevrabilitatea cuirasatelor a crescut, datorită îndeosebi introducerii turbinei cu abur ca principal sistem de propulsie.

În 1906, Royal Navy (Marina Regală Britanică) a lansat la apă cuirasatul HMS Dreadnought, care a reprezentat un important pas înainte în tehnologia navală, fiind asociat cu o întreagă generație de nave. Avea un deplasament de 18.410 tone și o rază de acțiune de 12.260 km, fiind propulsat cu ajutorul a patru turbine cu abur care dezvoltau o putere de 23.000 CP, astfel încât nava putea atinge o viteză maximă de 21 noduri (39 km/h). Blindajul său avea o grosime maximă de 279 mm, iar armamentul principal consta în 10 tunuri de calibru 305 mm și 27 de tunuri cu calibrul 76 mm.

De asemenea, Royal Navy a dezvoltat primele crucișătoare moderne. Utilizând aceeași artilerie de calibru mare ca și cuirasatele, dar având un blindaj mai subțire ca al acestora, crucișătoarele aveau avantajul vitezei și al razei sporite de acțiune și dezavantajul vulnerabilității într-o luptă directă cu cuirasatele. Rolul lor tactic în cadrul flotelor militare era în principal acela de recunoaștere, dar și de sprijin cu foc pentru navele de linie.

În aceeași perioadă a fost dezvoltată un nou tip de navă militară: distrugătorul (numit și contratorpilor). Navă rapidă și dotată cu o artilerie relativ puternică și cu torpile, era destinată luptei împotriva torpiloarelor și submarinelor inamice, escortând navele de linie sau convoaiele de nave comerciale pe timp de război.

Prima mare bătălie navală în care au luptat flote moderne, având în componență cuirasate, crucișătoare, distrugătoare, torpiloare și nave auxiliare, s-a desfășurat la 27 mai 1905 în Strâmtoarea Tsushima, situată între între peninsula coreeană și arhipelagul japonez. Flota rusă, aflată sub comanda amiralului Zinovi Rojestvenski și care parcursese peste 33.000 km din Marea Baltică pentru a ajunge în Orientul Îndepărtat, a fost interceptată de flota japoneză sub comanda amiralului Heihachirō Tōgō; în bătălie rușii au pierdut peste două treimi din totalul navelor, inclusiv 6 cuirasate.

În Primul Război Mondial, deși au avut loc numeroase bătălii navale, acestea nu au fost decisive pentru obiectivele strategice pe care și le propuseseră beligeranții. Unul dintre factorii decisivi ai victoriei finale a Antantei și aliaților acesteia a fost menținerea în siguranță a căilor de navigație din Atlanticul de Nord, vitale pentru aprovizionarea cu trupe, armament, muniție, provizii și alte materiale a frontului de vest. Acest obiectiv a fost realizat, însă cu mari pierderi materiale și umane, în urma războiului submarin purtat împotriva flotei germane de submarine (U-boot).

Cea mai mare bătălie navală din timpul Primului Război Mondial a avut loc la  31 mai - 1 iunie 1916, în Marea Nordului, în largul coastei peninsulei Iutlanda. Implicând două mari flote, cea britanică (Grand Fleet) condusă de amiralul Sir John Jellicoe și cea germană (Hochseeflote) aflată sub comanda viceamiralului Reinhard Scheer, Bătălia Iutlandei, care a implicat în total circa 250 de nave de toate tipurile, s-a terminat indecis, britanicii pierzând paisprezece nave, iar germanii unsprezece nave. Totuși, pe plan strategic, britanicii au avut de câștigat prin faptul că după această bătălie flota germană a rămas adăpostită în porturi, cu excepția unor ieșiri scurte. Ea a continuat totuși să reprezinte o amenințare, forțând britanicii să mențină mai multe escadre în Marea Nordului, dar eforturile majore ale marinei germane s-au îndreptat către purtarea războiului submarin, pierdut în final.

Tratatele pentru limitarea înarmării navale din anii 1920 și 1930 au limitat numărul și tonajul cuirasatelor, dar inovațiile tehnice în domeniul proiectării navelor militare au continuat și în perioada dintre cele două războaie mondiale.

În timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, Germania și Marea Britanie au fost din nou cele două puteri navale dominante pe teatrul de operațiuni din Atlanticul de Nord. Germania, în conformitate cu Tratatul de la Versailles, avea marina de război limitată doar la câteva nave de suprafață de mic tonaj. Dar, prin utilizarea inteligentă a unei terminologii înșelătoare, precum Panzerschiffe, Germania a înșelat amiralitatea britanică și pe cea franceză. Acestea au fost surprinse când nave ca Admiral Graf Spee, Scharnhorst și Gneisenau, au atacat liniile de comunicație maritimă aliate. Cea mai mare amenințare, totuși, a fost intrarea în luptă a celor mai mari nave ale Kriegsmarine: Bismarck și Tirpitz. Cuirasatul Bismarck a fost grav avariat și scufundat după o serie de bătălii navale în Atlanticul de Nord în 1941, în timp ce cuirasatul Tirpitz a fost distrus de Royal Air Force în 1944. La fel ca și în timpul Primului Război Mondial, Kriegsmarine și-a concentrat eforturile spre războiul submarin ce avea ca principal scop tăierea căilor de navigație din Atlanticul de Nord ale aliaților. Bătălia Atlanticului a implicat mii de nave, comerciale și militare, într-o succesiune de peste 100 de lupte între submarine și convoaie și peste 1.000 de lupte navale singulare. Deși aliații au avut pierderi umane și materiale imense, în final au reușit să fie învingători, datorită atât noilor tactici de luptă (gruparea navelor de transport în convoaie escortate de distrugătoare), cât și dezvoltării unor noi arme (grenadele antisubmarin, sonarul, bombardierele cu rază mare de acțiune). De asemenea, un rol important l-a avut și descifrarea mesajelor radio emise de submarinele germane, codate cu mașina Enigma.

Cele mai mari bătălii navale din timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial au avut însă loc pe teatrul de operațiuni din Pacific, între US Navy și Marina Imperială Japoneză. Din acea perioadă a început ascensiunea portavioanelor ca principală navă militară, în detrimentul cuirasatelor. Datorită introducerii pe scară largă a portavionelor în dotarea principalelor flote militare, navele inamice puteau fi acum atacate și distruse cu ajutorul bombardierelor-torpilor și bombardierelor în picaj care decolau de pe portavioane. Bătăliile navale se puteau duce acum cu un inamic aflat în afara razei vizuale, informațiile tactice necesare fiind obținute cu ajutorul avioanelor de recunoaștere și al radarului. Astfel, la 7 decembrie 1941, valurile succesive de avioane decolate de pe punțile a șase portavioane japoneze au scufundat sau avariat grav cele opt cuirasate americane, "coloana vertebrală" a Flotei SUA din Pacific, aflate la ancoră în baza navală de la Pearl Harbor. Acest atac prin surprindere, fără o declarație de război prealabilă, a determinat intrarea Statele Unite ale Americii în al Doilea Război Mondial.

După bătălia navală cu rezultat indecis din Marea Coralilor (4-8 mai 1942), Flota americană din Pacific, prin grupurile operative Task Force 16 și Task Force 17, a obținut la 4–7 iunie 1942 o victorie importantă în Bătălia de la Midway, scufundând patru portavioane japoneze (din cel șase care participaseră și la atacul de la Pearl Harbor). Această bătălie navală a fost un punct de cotitură în Războiul din Pacific, din acel moment inițiativa strategică trecând de partea Statelor Unite. Au urmat alte bătălii navale de mare amploare, în care din nou rolul principal l-au avut portavioanele:  (24-25 august 1942), Bătălia de la Capul Esperance, (11-12 octombrie 1942), Bătălia navală de la Guadalcanal,(12-15 noiembrie 1942), Bătălia din Marea Filipinelor (19-20 iunie 1944), Bătălia din Golful Leyte, (23-26 octombrie 1944), toate câștigate de americani, dar cu prețul unor mari pierderi umane și materiale.

Ultima bătălie navală importantă din secolul XX a avut loc în cadrul Războiului Malvinelor, în apele teritoriale ale Insulelor Falkland. În această bătălie și-au făcut "debutul" în luptă un nou tip de navă de război, submarinul cu propulsie nucleară și o nouă armă de luptă de la distanță, racheta ghidată. Astfel, la 2 mai 1982, submarinul britanic cu propulsie nucleară HMS Conqueror S48 a lansat trei torpile clasice Mark VIII în direcția crucișătorului argentinian General Belgrano, scufundându-l; au murit atunci 323 membri ai echipajului navei argentiniene. Două zile mai târziu, la 4 mai 1982, o rachetă ghidată  trasă de pe un avion Super Étendard al aviației argentiniene a scufundat distrugătorul britanic HMS Sheffield.

În secolul XXI
Perfecționarea navelor militare și a armamentului utilizat de acestea a continuat și după încheierea perioadei "Războiului Rece".

În domeniul metodelor de propulsie a navelor s-a dezvoltat și perfecționat propulsia nucleară la portavioane și submarine, ceea ce a condus la o majorare substanțială a autonomiei și razei de acțiune a acestora.

Artileria navală clasică (tunurile), deși mai există încă la bordul navelor de luptă, este înlocuită treptat de lansatoarele de rachete ghidate navă-navă (similare cu cele sol-sol). Mai mult, unele crucișătoare sunt dotate cu rachete de croazieră, cum sunt cele de tipul  (americane) sau  (rusești), care pot transporta la țintă focoase nucleare.

La bordul submarinelor nucleare se pot afla rachete balistice intercontinentale cu focoase nucleare multiple (sisteme MIRV), care constituie unul dintre cele mai distrugătoare sisteme de armament strategic.

La începutul anului 2002 se estima că existau în întreaga lume 1240 de nave de război operaționale, repartiția pe zone geografice a acestora fiind următoarea:
 Statele Unite: 14 %
 Aliații din NATO (exceptând SUA): 24 %
 Rusia: 7 %
 China: 11 %
 Alte state din Asia: 26 %
 Statele din Orientul Mijlociu și Africa de Nord: 4 %
 Restul lumii: 14 %

Clasificare
În prezent, navele militare sunt clasificate după diverse criterii, în mod diferit, de la țară la țară.

Flotele militare ale statelor din NATO folosesc următoarea clasificare:
Nave de suprafață
 Portavioane
 Crucișătoare
 Distrugătoare
 Fregate
 Corvete
 Nave de desant
 Puitoare de mine

Nave submersibile
Submarine

In this lesson Ss learn about nouns and gerunds based on a reading various exercises. The lesson starts with completing a definition exercise. This followed by an analysis exercise to classify the nouns according to their suffixes. After that Ss learn about the stressed and weak forms in spoken English. Finally, there are two exercises one controlled practice concerning nouns and gerunds again and the other is freer.
Correct pronunciation of the nouns.
Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To introduce the lesson and make sure Ss recognize what C & U stand for.
Put Ss in pairs and give them time to complete ex. a pg. 20 emphasising not to look back at the article. Make sure they know the meaning of the abbreviations, e.g. n= noun, c=countable etc. Monitor and help if necessary. Tell Ss to look back and check their answers. Ask them if they were able to get all of them correct.
Presentation (8-10 minutes) • To categorize and practice suffixes and gerund forms.
- Make sure Ss understand what suffixes and gerunds are by eliciting examples from language focus 1. - Put Ss in pairs and ask them to write each noun in the correct box. Monitoring and help if necessary. Check answers as a whole class. Analysis 1. - Read through the information and elicit further examples. E.g. increase, surprise, support. Analysis 2. - Use the examples given to show how a gerund acts like a noun. Point out that it is very common to use a gerund at the beginning of a sentence when talking in general. Put Ss into pairs to find the examples in the paragraph called Exercise on pg. 18. Monitor and help. Check answers as a class.
Pronunciation (4-5 minutes) • To raise awareness and practise schwa sound and stressed and weak forms in spoken English.
Check that Ss understand the concept of stressed and weak forms in spoken English. You could use the tape for the pronunciation, but I always find that boring. Instead you can write the nouns on a piece of paper, stick them on the board and mark the stress with the Ss. Briefly explain and check Ss understand schwa and give examples. e.g. /ə/ in father, just, America, ever, about etc.
Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To give the Ss language feedback about the noun forms.
Put Ss in pairs. Ask them to do ex. 1a on pg.20 Monitor and help if necessary. Hand out the answers and get Ss to check. In the same pairs draw their attention to verbs and ask which noun forms are different. If the Ss do not have dictionary with them, they could find this difficult. Give them a few minutes to do this, but not any longer. Elicit answers, if correct praise, if not give the right answer. Change pairs - Get Ss to do ex.2 on pg. 20 . Monitor and help. You can check the answers by listening from the CD or peer checking.
Freer Practice-speaking (4-5 minutes) • To provide the students with fluency practice speaking through nouns and gerund forms.
- Get Ss to look at the pictures on pg. 21 and say which makes them feel good and which makes them feel bad. - Put Ss in pairs and ask them to complete the noun/gerunds in the exercise. Hand out answers and answer any questions. Skip 3 b/c.
Feedback (9-10 minutes) • To provide the students with language feedback concerning forming nouns and gerunds.
- Get Ss to do ex.2 and 3, pg. 12 and 13 from the workbook. Monitor and help if necessary. Hand out the answers for Ss to check.


The Fischbowl: Are Your "Have-to's" Really "Have-To's"?
Are Your "Have-to's" Really "Have-To's"?
What are you supposed to accomplish in your work?
What do you actually spend your time doing?
This is part of an article discussing how to do your best work and accomplish what you want to accomplish. I'll ignore the very zen #3 for now, but I think #1 and #2 are very important for us to think about as teachers. Question #1 for us is really about the purpose of education, what we believe the essential learnings are for our students. A lot of the discussion in our project – as well as in the PLC's around the building – is revolving around this question. But I think question #2 is really key for us right now. Is what you actually spend your time doing aligned with your beliefs about question #1? I would argue that often it is not. We do all these things we think we "have" to do, even if they don't really help us accomplish what we want to accomplish. Which of course brings up the question do we really "have" to do these things?
So, I challenge each of you to think about what you actually do each day and then examine how well that aligns with what you want to accomplish. Then see how many of the supposed "have to's" you can jettison in favor of more meaningful activities (for yourself and your students). Feel free to comment giving examples of any of the things you think you can get rid of (or would like to get rid of but just don't see a way yet – maybe others can help).
Did you pick this specifically for the 1st day of CSAPing? SO far today, I have done nothing that I think I need to accomplish other than get here on time and clear old email. As far as my interactions with students, I was happy to define a circle that you color in as a "bubble" three times today. While I assume Karl is looking for a more philosophical approach with this question, CSAP has yanked that ability from me.
It seems that so mcuh of do do (hee-he Hatak) and what I want to do don't actually correlate. I am turning in copies for things when I would rather just walk into class and talk to them but yet I know some of the kids (like me, they need the visual). I am running around during my off hours trying to talk to all the necessary people about things I need from them when I would rather be grading so I don't have to stay up so late doing the same.
I guess the things that I want to see giving up are handouts. I need to find a way to update the handouts that I don't have on my computer or actually look and see if they are even necessary. That is something I would like to give up.
Again with the do do.....Man it is hard being twelve some times.
Goals for each day? What an idea.. Karl, your a genius! If I could just get my day to fit my goals...er, I mean if I could just cross one or two things off my to do list and then get to the want list. I think what we need to be doing is looking at a list of values. (That is what you are getting at, right Karl?) If the two are in line, the list and the actions, then I think we are working toward the kinds of days we would like.
I am trying to clean out old documents and answer emails. Boy, am I behind. Anne, I ask my student assistants to type up my handouts and then I just have to upload them. The issue that I am having is finding the time to set the stuff out for the assistants. I also have made the goal of not taking things home to work on. Since my days are getting more and more full that is getting more difficult. My fear is that I will miss Megan's growing up and then I will still be doing the same stuff. So, I continue to put her on the top of the list along with Sarah.

route reviews
Route guide by MJ Ray (CC-BY-SA)
Stage-by-stage
"Very flat, Norfolk" – a famous author's curse on one of England's most under-rated counties. It might not have mountains, but Norfolk has lots else: wild coast partly on a chalk ridge, seaside resorts, bustling ports, old towns, large areas of forest, rolling heath, riverside rides, rail trails, some of the earliest Quiet Lanes projects and, yes, flat land reclaimed from the water. It is almost southern England in miniature.
This circular route around Norfolk (with a few small dips into Suffolk) is a good showcase for the smaller towns and varied countryside, both often picture-perfect.

Download GPX track
How many days?
The 231 miles could be done on a long weekend, but would be better over a week to allow time to visit some of the attractions en route — and there really is a lot to look at.
How hard is it?
Mostly easy rolling country, but there are lumps either side of Cromer and the climbs into Sandringham, Snettisham and Sedgeford can be unpleasant surprises for riders leaving the Fens. Also, the Fens and Broads can be challenging in unfavourable weather, with little shelter from wind, rain or sun, so keep both waterproofs and sunscreen handy. Riding clockwise offers a good chance of favourable winds.
What sort of bike?
The route is nearly all paved and mostly quiet roads, so any sort of road or touring bike should be fine. The longest gravel/sand section, in Thetford Forest, could be bypassed by riding a quarter mile of fairly quiet A road.
What facilities are there?
Plenty, with most larger villages having a pub and shop or two, but there are two sections with few shops: Wells to Cromer and Eye to Thetford each pass one village shop in 25 miles.
Is it signposted?
Yes, although it switches between 1, 30 and 11 on the way round. It's National (red) Cycle Route 1 from Lynn to Wighton near Wells, then Regional (blue) Route 30 to Yarmouth, National 1 or 517 to Lowestoft (except for any Ness Point and Marine Parade detours), Regional 30 to Weeting near Brandon, Regional (30) to Denver near Downham Market, National 11 to Watlington, 30 to Lord's Bridge and then 1 back to Lynn.
Some signs on the Cromer to Yarmouth section are smaller than usual (or just stickers on fingerpost arrows), and there are occasional missing signs.
How about a longer ride?
It could be extended easily into a longer tour by heading south into Suffolk from Bungay along Regional Route 42 then NCN route 1, then west from Ipswich to Cambridge along NCN 51 and finally north on NCN 11, using either its former route through Welney or the obvious minor roads through Littleport to Ten Mile Bank and rejoin this tour at Downham Market — but then you would miss Thetford Forest.
What does the route connect to?
National Cycle Route 1 connects from the north-west and Midlands at Lord's Bridge between Watlington and Lynn, or from the south-east at Beccles. Route 1 can also be used to make a shorter loop (or longer 8 shape) by connecting Wells to Beccles via Fakenham and Norwich.
More direct access from London and Cambridge is offered by Route 11 which joins the route at Denver near Downham Market (but this has been declassified by Sustrans in July 2020, so its exact route may change). Finally, Route 13 from Colchester crosses the route near Thetford and connects to Route 1 at Fakenham, while the Peddars Way MTB route connects Thetford to Sedgeford near Ringstead.
How do you get there and back?
King's Lynn, Watlington and Downham Market on the west of the loop are served by direct trains from London King's Cross. These don't require reservations; bikes are usually left in only a couple of multifunctional spaces or unused doorways, which can mean moving them around during the journey. For visitors from the Midlands, change onto these trains at Ely.
Starting at King's Lynn station means you'll begin with the famous route to Sandringham, and finish with a great view of the town.
On the south of the loop, Diss is served by direct trains from London Liverpool Street towards Norwich. These do require reservations, but have recently been upgraded to have six spaces per train and level access from platforms.
Cromer, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft have trains from Norwich, while Thetford and Brandon can be reached from both Norwich and Ely. Most of these use regional trains that are a shorter bi-mode version of the London trains that still have six bike spaces, but do not offer reservations. These services may be more useful if you have to cut your trip short, rather than as a planned start/end point.

I rode the section from Thetford to Hunstanton and my verdict is: Utterly brilliant. The only exception was the busy road out of Brandon. The cycle.travel gpx worked perfectly.

Rode most of the northern three quarters of this route in April 2022 (for the southern side took a slightly more northern parallel through Swaffham to Kings Lynn, and cut the SE corner by coming down to Reedham and crossing on the chain ferry). From Kings Lynn round it's a gem, Castle Rising, Sandringham, through the estate at Holkham and along the beach to Wells (path is good enough for sturdy road bikes). Then a fantastic quiet cycling route a few miles inland all along the North Norfolk Coast, but the warning about the shortage of pitstops is good advice, there's almost nothing between Wells and Cromer despite the number of villages you pass through, so its either forty-fifty miles on your own supplies, or a detour down to the coast for refreshments, and the wind direction can make quite a difference. I'd recommend a more inland route via Reedham and Raveningham rather than going via Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft - very picturesque cycling except for a mile of fast A-Road into Acle.
The Feathers at Dersingham, and Dairy Barns nr Hickling both bike friendly stop overs.


Which version of animation lab is suitable for use with TurboCAD19 and how much is it ?
I can only comment on v19 64 bit, but the latest AL 5 works ok for me with it, I can't comment on the 32 bit version.
As for cost, you would have to check various site as the price will differ as to where in the world one lives (exchange rates and all that), sites like IMSI's - turbocad.com, Avanquest (UK), Mindscape (Australia), Turbocad Norway, Spinar (CZ) etc.
Thanks for your reply. I'm running the 64 bit version so I should be OK.
Thank you very much. I know this much.

"Around 7 pm On the night of November 26th 2019 My mom & I ate. We both only consumed one similar item which was their steak from the grill! After midnight of the 28th I started to feel nauseous & began continuously throwing up. Three hours later my mom was going through the same thing, We had been badly food poisoned, & for at least the next 10 hours we racheted & violently threw up & spewed liquid from our mouth, & bu**s, & sometimes both at the same time!!! It was like whatever it was chewed through all the other food in our stomach. We Could not keep water down without ratcheting & eventually having it come back up. I was so thirsty!!!! This has to be the worst experience I have ever had in my whole life. I wanted to lay down so bad & get some rest but I could not without being nauseated. I wanted to rest but couldn't close my eyes without spinning!! Our Throats were burning & we were puking up this carbonated chemical taste. Our faces were flushed like tomatoes & Our Thanksgiving was completly canceled !! Alost Two days later & we are only barely able to consume water, crackers & pedialyte without it coming back up, We honestly felt like we were going to die; The headaches were terrible & the strain on our chest & heart muscles felt so exhausted from all the force of liquid projection & coughing, I count my blessing to be writing this!!"

I'm almost done with my children's Christian book. We recently discovered that we are finding more Christian authors who are asking us for help and advice on self-publishing. Editors and publishers: Fiction and non-fiction, children's books and young adults. The children's books are eye-catching, four-colour illustrated books that are fun for readers and illustrate the Christian faith and values of the family.
If you' re going to take a seat to read, where do you get your inspirations from? Your inspirations may come from different places, according to the type of book you are going to work on. It is more challenging for some writers to find ideas for a children's novel because the writer is obviously not a kid. But the search for the right source of inspirations for what you want to post about is the secret to making progress on your itinerary.
The following articles gives you some hints on how to get inspired to write a Christian children's book (Click to Tweet). Be inspired for a storyline while you sit in a food shop car park, browse through journals or just look out the sash. Begin to train yourself so that inspiring becomes a custom wherever you go.
Embrace yourself with exhilaration. As you may be at your computer all morning, it is more likely that you will find more inspiring when you leave the hous. Get out and be inspired. Especially when you write a children's book, go where kids get inspired.
A park, library, shopping centre, museums and toyshop are places where you can see kids in motion and be inspire by your own typeface. Enjoy your free day with the kids.

'Songs of Service:' Military tribute hosted by 'SEAL Team's' Toni Trucks
Civilians with no connection to the military can find it difficult to understand what service members really go through. When Toni Trucks joined the cast of SEAL Team, she decided to do everything she could to bridge this gap of understanding. One of the ways she did this was hosting Songs of Service, a one-of-a-kind musical event, airing Saturday, December 11 at 7pm ET on New York Channel 2, at 7:30pm ET on Philadelphia Channel 4 {Check local listings}, ON-DEMAND on Pluto-TV as well as We Are The Mighty -Youtube.
The special honors service members from all eras and different communities within the military. With a focus on music, Songs of Service features the United States Army Field Band along with music legend John Fogerty.
Trucks was given special permission to take time off from filming SEAL Team to host the show.
"It was so special," she said of filming Songs of Service. "We went all over D.C. to different memorials and cool locations filming the Army Field Band."
Directed by Robert Ham, an Army veteran, Songs of Service was shot at 11 different locations in the DC area to include the Women Veterans, Pentagon 9/11, Vietnam and World War II memorials.
Ham says, "I'm so honored to direct this wonderful special sharing the talents and story of the Army Field Band, working alongside one of my favorite musicians John Fogerty and with such amazing Hollywood talents like Toni Trucks and Laura Karpman. But as an Afghan war combat veteran what makes this extra special is it exemplifies the resilience and values that make America what it is."

Trucks said, "I'm so proud to honor all those who serve with so many amazing songs from the Army Field Band and even a special performance from Vietnam Veteran, John Fogerty. Songs of Service is an amazing tribute to all those who have served past, present and future."
Trucks was given the unique hosting opportunity through another military connection effort of hers.
Wanting to get more involved in the military community that she is a part of on TV, Trucks curated a subscription box for Military Made. The box features items from active duty service members, veterans and their families. Through Military Made, Trucks got connected with the Army Field Band and became the special's host — a perfect match.

As a music major, Trucks was the natural choice to host Songs of Service. "I didn't hesitate," she said. The special had a strong, positive impact on Trucks' understanding and appreciation of the military community.
"Coming at it through music was the perfect expression of who I am, and it was great to celebrate the military in that way."
Trucks noted that military women and mothers are specifically honored during the special. "I felt so proud and excited to be a part of that, because that's what I'm representing on TV each week." Pregnant with her first child, Trucks took that segment of the special to heart. "It was a really neat experience."
Songs of Service is a musical tribute to all service members, veterans and their families.
"It's a celebration of the military community in all of its intricacies," Trucks said. She highlighted that the special celebrates the diversity found in America that is reflected in the military. "If you can find it in America, you can find it in the military. The special does a wonderful job of honoring those who have served in the past and the incredible mix of folks serving right now."

Q: Insert values in lists following a pattern I have the following example list:
list_a = [(1, 6),
          (6, 66),
          (66, 72),
          (72, 78),
          (78, 138),
          (138, 146),
          (154, 208),
          (208, 217),
          (217, 225),
          (225, 279),
          (279, 288)
          .....
          ]

And what I need is:

*

*After every 6 elements on a list, insert in this place a new
tuple formed by the last number of the previous one, and the first
number in the previous 6 tuples.

*After the tuple inserted,
insert another with formed by the first number of the previous one
plus 1, and by the last number of the previous one and the first
number of the next tuple.

so the result may look like:
list_a = [(1, 6),
          (6, 66),
          (66, 72),
          (72, 78),
          (78, 138),
          (138, 146),
          (146, 1),     # <- first part
          (147, 154),   # <- second part
          (154, 208),
          (208, 217),
          (217, 225),
          (225, 279),
          (279, 288)
          (288, 147)     # <- first part
          .....
          ]

I have tried this, but the last last elements are missing
for i in range(0, len(list_a)+1, 6):
    if i > 0:
        list_a.insert(i, (list_a[i - 1][1], list_a[i - 6][0]))
        list_a.insert(i + 1, (list_a[i - 1][1] + 1, list_a[i + 1][0],))

A: I would just build a new list by constantly appending to it rather than inserting into an existing list.  This should work:
n = len(list_a)
newList = []
for i in range(0,n, 6):
    newList.append(list_a[i:i+6] )

    newTuple1 = (newList[-1][1], newList[i][0])
    newList.append(newTuple1)
    try:
        newTuple2 = (newTuple1[0] + 1, list_a[i+6][0])
        newList.append(newTuple2)
    except IndexError:
        print "There was no next tuple"

print newList

Output
There was no next tuple
[(1, 6), (6, 66), (66, 72), (72, 78), (78, 138), (138, 146), (146, 1), (147, 154), (154, 208), (208, 217), (217, 225), (225, 279), (279, 288), (300, 400), (400, 146)]

Note that your example did not indicate what to do in case two if there are no additional tuples.  Supposed there are 12 tuples in list_a.  Then when you get to the second group of 2, there is no next tuple.
Hope that helps.

community/Locale_Mage_community_el_GR: Package release 'Locale_Mage_community_el_GR' not found on server: No releases for 'Locale_Mage_community_el_GR: Package release 'Locale_Mage_community_el_GR' not found on server', skipping

I know the extension is in beta version so i changed the preferred state from the magento's connect manager settings, but the error still remains.
What can i do?

A: Option 1: Download the package and apply proper deployment (bypass Connect Manager).

*

*Magento Extension Downloader

*Firegento Composer Repository
Option 2: Try via command line (see WebShopApps blog post).
$ ./mage config-show
…
preferred package state        preferred_state      beta
…

$ ./mage install connect20.magentocommerce.com/community Locale_Mage_community_el_GR
…
Package community/Locale_Mage_community_el_GR 1.0.19870.4.2 installed successfully

A: I don't have an answer to why doesn't work, but I may have a solution to your problem. You can get any language pack from here. Versedi did a nice job gathering every language pack available on Magento 1.

Natalie Cole (6th Feb 1950 – 31st December 2016) "Sophisticated Lady"
When you are born into musical royally with a father like the charismatic black crooner Nat King Cole and Mary Hawkins who sang as a jazz singer with Duke Ellington and Count Basie, it would be slightly "Unpredictable" to assume with those genes that Natalie would be anything else other than a gifted singer. Born an Aquarian on the 6th February 1950 Natalie performed as young as 6 years old on her fathers Christmas album and later began performing aged 11 Natalie worked various club circuits performing classic soul and rock standards.She eventually met in 1973, producers Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy, the latter whom she later married. Her debut album "Inseparable" was recorded in Curtis Mayfield's Curtom studios in Chicago and landed her a deal with her late fathers label Capitol. The albums major hit and universally recognised anthem "This Will Be" was a swing beat jazz soul arrangement that would pre date by two years, later similar productions of Lenny Williams's "Shoo Doo Fufu Ooh" and Paulette Reeves "Jazz Freak". That vocal performance gained her a top ten hit and a Grammy as the best newcomer. Natalie was being likened to the "Queen Of Soul" Aretha Franklin who actually revealed that she was offered a selection of songs including "This Will Be" and "I Can't Say No" but only decided to record "You". Natalie recorded "You" on her debut so at a guess the similarities have some merit. Natalie's second album "Natalie" from 1976 featured the funktastic favourite of mine "Sophisticated Lady", but it's probably her third "Thankful" album that resonates quite highly and was especially sort after here in the UK in the mid 1980's. Apart from the beautiful and atmospheric "La Costa" featuring Linda Williams of "Elevate Our Mind" fame on piano, also covered by Ahmed Jamal on his "Jamalca" album, it was the social school of hard knocks message in "Annie Mae" that showcased Natalie as a vocal goddess. Her 1977 "Unpredictable" album's "I Can't Break Away" was sampled brilliantly by Sunshine Anderson's early 2000 RNB classic "Heard It All Before". Natalie had her own TV special and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame by the time we get to 1979. Natalie worked on duet projects with Peabo Bryson and Johnny Mathis in the early 1980's but also had to deal with some personal challenges that threatened her career. Still recording albums Natalie bounced back with a pop dance cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac", which helped her 1987 "Everlasting" album sell one million records. Natalie also has acting credits to her name appearing in "I'll Fly Away" "Touched By An Angel" and "Law & Order Special Victim's Unit". Natalie also made several appearances in feature films, Cole Porter biopic "De Lovely", several made for TV movies, most notably as the lead in "Lily In Winter" .In 2001 she starred as herself in "Livin' For Love The Natalie Cole Story" and received the NAACP image Award for outstanding actress in a Television Movie Mini Series or Dramatic Special. In 2008 Natalie made an album "Still Unforgettable" performing with technology "Walking My Baby Back Home" with her late father and she's also done a version with her father of his classic "When I Fall In Love". I managed to see Natalie two years ago live at Blue Fest at the Royal Albert Hall for the first time. The image projected of her father Nat King on a huge screen so they could duet was somewhat surreal and enchanting to watch in real time. She opened with "Annie Mae" to my delight a song that a dear friend of mine Michele Hutchins loved so much she named her daughter after that song. Natalie also sung "La Costa" and naturally "This Will Be" also covered by lovers rock artist, Jean Adebamo so I've been blessed to see her. Born and Aquarian and her passover was during the Richard Evans "Capricorn Rising" period sadly on 31st December 2015. She'd have been 67 on the 6th February but will always be remembered as the "Sophisticated Lady". We'll be eternally "Thankful" for your music RIP with ya late great father Nat King.. Natalie Cole!!
