27 травня- свято                               Останнього дзвоника                       Вітаю випускників нашої школи! 

Не згуби в своїм серці "людину",

Світу "правди" неси полум'я,

Не цурайся, люби Україну,

Бережи своє чесне ім'я.

Розгорни соколинії крила,

Прапор "волі" здійми догори,

Хай несуть Твої дужі вітрила

Лиш могутні, попутні вітри.

Хай щасливою буде дорога,

Котру вибереш Ти серед всіх.

Пам'ятай і молися до Бога,

Душу хай не осквернює гріх.

Не забудь своїх друзів ніколи,

І затям, як святий "заповіт",

Що є мама,

                  є вчитель,

                                  є школа,

Котрі вивели Тебе у світ.

European Day of Parks

24 May, all over Europe!

Every year EUROPARC members “gather” events around May 24th to celebrate and raise the profile of the value and benefits of all our Protected Areas. By coming together around one theme, on one occasion in the year we have a stronger collective voice.

This year we show the nature we have in our care, is valuable in its own right, but needed for business too. So why not make a special natural market place, showcasing all your local products, or make a joint promotion with sustainable businesses? You can even highlight nature guiding and nature watching in your park… show that looking after nature is the “business “of the park.

We celebrate officially on the 24th May, marking the date when the first national parks in Europe were founded.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle  (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician, most noted for creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and writing stories about him which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Like the great detective Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle also had many wonderful talents. Many people do not know that he wrote many other kinds of books: science fiction, historical adventures, horror stories and stories of the supernatural. He also wrote factual books on history and politics. In everything he did, he showed his incredible creative energy.

Conan Doyle came from an artistic family and he was a natural writer. His father was a talented artist and his mother was a very good story-teller. In his autobiography, Conan Doyle wrote: "The stories that my mother told me when I was a child stand out more powerfully than the real facts of my life."

Conan Doyle went to boarding school when he was nine years old. At school, he entertained his school friends with stories that he had invented. After graduation from Edinburgh University he had his own medical practice in London, but he did not have many patients, so he was not earning a lot of money as a doctor. That's why Conan Doyle made good use of his free time by writing stories. Soon, Conan Doyle began to have his stories published. He now began to understand that writing could provide a better income than medicine.

Conan Doyle was not satisfied with being just a writer of original and entertaining stories. He was also a great man of action. When he was a young man, he sailed as a ship's doctor on voyages to the Arctic and to West Africa. When the Boer War in Africa started, Conan Doyle volunteered to fight. He was not accepted because lie was too old (he was 40). However, he still went to South Africa as a doctor to treat the wounded and the sick. He later wrote a history of the Boer War.

Conan Doyle was determined to do some good in society. He tried to enter Parliament, but he wasn't successful. Conan Doyle was more successful in his work to improve the law system. He worked very hard to help people who had been wrongfully sent to prison.

Cher ( born Cherilyn Sarkisian; May 20, 1946) is an American singer and actress. Described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, she is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long career, which has led to her being nicknamed the Goddess of Pop.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher after their song "I Got You Babe" reached number one on the American and British charts. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the U.S. Billboard Hot 100chart-topping singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady". After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher launched a comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–82 residency show in Las Vegas.

In 1982, Cher made her Broadway debut in the play Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean and starred in the film adaptation of the same title. She subsequently earned critical acclaim for her performances in films such as Silk wood (1983), Mask (1985), and Moonstruck (1987), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She then revived her musical career by recording the rock-inflected albums Cher (1987), Heart of Stone (1989), and Love Hurts (1991), all of which yielded several successful singles. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the album Believe, whose title track became the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist in the UK; it features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the "Cher effect". Her 2002–05 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time, earning $250 million. In 2008, she signed a $180 million deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher's first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth (2013), became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date at number three.

Cher has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, a special CFDA Fashion Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, among several other honors. Throughout her career, she has sold 200 million records worldwide. She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in each decade from the 1960s to the 2010s. Outside of her music and acting, she is noted for her political views, philanthropic endeavors and social activism, including LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.

20 мая считается официальным днем рождения джинсов

История джинсовой одежды насчитывает более 200 лет. Не одно поколение выросло в этих практичных штанах. Первые запатентованные джинсы были выпущены в Америке человеком по имени Леви Страусс в 1850 году и проданы по цене 1 доллар 46 центов за пару.

Это были прочные брюки из парусины, со швами, усиленными двойной строчкой, со множеством карманов. Брюки пользовались популярностью у калифорнийских золотоискателей. Первая промышленная партия разошлась мгновенно. И через некоторое время Страусс организовал в Сан-Франциско фирму «Levi Strauss & Co» по пошиву рабочей одежды.

20 мая 1873 года фирма «Levi Strauss & Co» получила лицензию на единоличное право производства брюк с заклепками на карманах. Вот эта дата и считается официальным днем рождения джинсов. В 1886 году на джинсах «Levi’s» появляется знаменитый кожаный лейбл.

Рабочий народ быстро оценил прочность и практичность новых брюк. Вскоре после запуска производства компания перешла от серой ткани на привлекательный и прочный синий материал, названный «деним», то есть «из Нима», французского города. Брэнд «Levi’s» был вне конкуренции до середины 20 века, когда появились Lee, Wrangler и Cooper.

Краска «индиго», которой окрашивалась ткань для брюк «Levi’s», готовилась на основе натуральных ингредиентов и стоила очень дорого. Немецкий химик Adolf von Baeyer в 1878 году изобрел синтетический заменитель индиго, что значительно сократило себестоимость джинсов. Рынок джинсов освоили Calvin Klein, Diesel, Gap, Guess, Mustang, Polo, Tommy Hilfinger, Zara. Джинсы стали модной одеждой для представителей всех возрастов и сословий.

В 1926 году появились джинсы с молнией на ширинке. В 1981 году «Levi’s» впервые выпустил джинсы для женщин. В 1995 году появились джинсы «стрейтч». С каждым годом появлялись все новые технологии: джинсы стирали с пемзой, мочили в кислоте, отбеливали...

Сегодня джинсы выпускаются в различном цветовом исполнении, разработано множество джинсовых тканей и моделей. 

Hello! The 19th of May is the day when Ukrainians celebrate Vyshyvanka Day. Vyshyvanka is a traditional Ukrainian men’s and women’s shirt decorated with embroidery. The history of Ukrainian embroidery traces its roots centuries back. In ancient times, such clothes were worn by the Slavs. However, even before that, according to Herodotus, ancient Scythians decorated their clothes with embroidery. Let’s cherish our nation’s centuries-old customs and wear vyshyvankas (and not just once a year, but every day)!                   Happy Vyshyvanka Day!

                         EDWARD JENNER 1749-1823

Edward Jenner was an English physician, the discoverer of vaccination. He was born at Berkley, Gloucestershire, on May 17, 1749. Jenner studied medicine in London at St George’s Hospital. He began practice in Berkeley in 1773 when he was 24 years old.

           Edward Jenner liked to observe and inves­tigate things ever since he was a boy. This led to the discovery of vaccination against smallpox. Today cases of smallpox are very rare because almost every baby in the world is vaccinated against this disease.

           Edward Jenner was a country boy. He lived in a quiet village that he loved. Nature Study was Jenner’s favourite pastime. He loved and understood country life. When John Hunter*, the famous naturalist, asked him to study the habits of the cuckoo, Jenner, after hours of patient watching, discovered what really happened.

Iwan Rheon (born 13 May 1985) is a Welsh actor, singer and musician, best known for portraying Simon Bellamy in the E4 series Misfits (2009–11), Ramsay Bolton in the HBO series Game of Thrones (2013–present) and Ash Weston in the ITV sitcom Vicious(2013–2016).

Rheon was born in Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire. When he was five years old, his family moved to Cardiff. He attended Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf where he began acting in school drama productions at age 17. He was later spotted at a National Eisteddfod of Wales, before studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

 At age 17, Rheon joined Welsh language soap Pobol Y Cwm, in which he originated the role of Macsen White, but later left to train at LAMDA. His first notable stage part came in Eight Miles High, which was staged in 2008 at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool.

Also in 2008, he was cast as the haunted Moritz Stiefel in the London production of the Tony Award-winning rock-musical, Spring Awakening. He played this role from January 2009 at the Lyric Hammersmith and continued when the show was transferred to the Novello Theatre, until it closed in May 2009, five months earlier than planned. He earned a What's on Stage Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical, which was eventually won by Oliver Thornton (Priscilla Queen of the Desert). For his performance he won the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical at the 2010 Olivier Awards.

Immediately after Spring Awakening, Rheon was cast in the E4channel's Misfits, a BAFTA winning programme that was described by 247 Magazine as "a mix of Skins and Heroes". He plays nervous, shy Simon Bellamy, who gains the superpower of invisibility and precognition in season 3. On 20 December 2011, Rheon announced via Twitter that he had left the show, along with fellow cast member Antonia Thomas.

In 2011 he also appeared in the final episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

In 2013, Rheon was cast as the villainous psychopath Ramsay Snow in the HBO series Game of Thrones. In the DVD commentary for the series' third season, producers David Beni  and D.B. Weiss mentioned that Rheon previously auditioned for the role of Jon Snow in the first season, but lost to Kit Harington, with whom Rheon maintains a close friendship. He also portrayed Ash Weston in the ITV sitcom Vicious.

In 2013, Rheon played a lead role in the philosophical radio play, Darkside, based on the themes of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon album.

In September 2014, Rheon joined the cast of BBC One's Our Girl as Dylan "Smurf" Smith.

Songwriting and singing since the age of 16, Rheon was lead singer in The Convictions until leaving the band to pursue his acting career.

Дама Дафна дю Морье (англ. Daphne du Maurier, леди Дафна Браунинг, чаще публикуется как Дафна Дю Морье; 13 мая 1907, Лондон — 19 апреля 1989, Корнуолл) — английская писательница и биограф, писавшая в жанре психологического триллера. Творчество писательницы известно в первую очередь такими произведениями, как роман «Ребекка» и рассказ «Птицы», экранизированные Альфредом Хичкоком. Дафна дю Морье являлась членом Королевского литературного общества с 1952 года, в 1977 году была награждена «Американской премией за мастерство в детективной литературе» (англ.). Награждена орденом Британской империи. В 1938 году получила Национальную книжную премию США (англ. National Book Award).

Дафна дю Морье является одной из наиболее известных британских писательниц XX века. Большинство произведений писательницы легли в основу кинофильмов, а роман «Ребекка» был экранизирован 11 раз. Известность Дафне дю Морье принесли не только её литературные произведения. Жизненный путь писательницы, её непростые, а иногда и скандальные отношения с близкими и друзьями, нашли свое отражение в прессе. После смерти Дафны дю Морье телекомпанией BBC был снят биографический фильм «Дафна» (англ. Daphne, 2007), вызвавший неоднозначную реакцию у публики и получивший крайне негативную оценку со стороны семьи писательницы.

Дафна родилась 13 мая 1907 года в семье актёров Джеральда дю Морье (англ.) и Мюриэл Бомонт, её дедом был известный карикатурист и писатель Джордж Дюморье. Дафна — вторая из трёх дочерей в семье. Её старшая сестра, Анджела дю Морье (англ.) (1904—2002), также стала писательницей. Младшая сестра, Жанна дю Морье (1911—1997), стала художником-живописцем. Двоюродные братья Дафны по отцу принадлежали к знаменитой семье Ллуэлин-Дэвис, больше известные как «Дэвис Бойз». Именно они стали прообразами героев повести близкого друга семьи Д. М. Барри о Питере Пене.

В начале 1925 года дю Морье уехала из Англии на учёбу во Францию, где посещала школу в небольшом городке Компосена, недалеко от Парижа. Жизнь там была практически спартанской: комнаты не отапливались, не было горячей воды. Но эти неудобства перекрывались близостью Парижа, что позволило Дафне часто ездить в столицу, посещать Лувр, Опера́ и иные достопримечательности.

В 1926 году семья дю Морье отправилась в отпуск в Корнуолл, в небольшой прибрежный город Фоуи (англ. Fowey). Дафна наслаждалась временем, проведенным на отдыхе, и впоследствии пронесла любовь к Корнуоллу через всю жизнь.

В 1931 году Дафна дю Морье публикует свой первый роман «Дух любви». Успех книги дал девушке возможность обрести финансовую независимость от семьи. Этот роман сыграл огромную роль в жизни писательницы. Есть свидетельства, согласно которым именно благодаря этому роману Дафна познакомилась со своим будущим мужем. В многочисленных путеводителях и брошюрах о Корнуолле рассказывается история о том, что первый роман дю Морье очень понравился молодому майору Браунингу, и он отправился в Фоуи, чтобы познакомиться с автором. Их встреча оказалась судьбоносной.

В июле 1932 года Дафна дю Морье вышла замуж за молодого военного, а позднее генерал-лейтенанта сэра Фредерика Браунинга. У пары родилось трое детей, дочери Тесса и Флафия и сын Кристиан. По политическим воззрениям Дафна была убежденной роялисткой, а её муж долгие годы состоял на службе в Букингемском дворце в должности ревизора и казначея королевской семьи. Писательница овдовела в 1965 году. Вскоре после смерти мужа, Дафна переехала в Килмарт, ставший её домом до конца жизни. Этот дом описан в романе «Дом на берегу» и является одной из достопримечательностей Корнуолла.

Дафна дю Морье не любила давать интервью, а в последние годы жизни вела уединенный образ жизни. О публичности она однажды высказалась следующим образом: «писателей должны читать, а не слышать или видеть».

Основное литературное наследие Дафны дю Морье, включающее черновики, дневники, письма, материалы литературного творчества её сестры Анджелы, архив бумаг отца и деда, хранится в библиотеке Эксетерского университета.
