Niagara Falls

There are differing theories as to the origin of the name of the falls. According to Iroquoian scholar Bruce Trigger, "Niagara" is derived from the name given to a branch of the locally residing native Neutral Confederacy, who are described as being called the "Niagagarega" people on several late 17th century French maps of the area.[8]

A number of figures have been suggested as first circulating an eyewitness description of Niagara Falls. Frenchman Samuel de Champlain visited the area as early as 1604 during his exploration of Canada, and members of his party reported to him the spectacular waterfalls, which he described in his journals. Finnish-Swedish naturalist Pehr Kalm explored the area in the early 1700s and wrote of the experience. The consensus honoree is Belgian Father Louis Hennepin, who observed and described the Falls in 1677, earlier than Kalm, after traveling with explorer René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, thus bringing the Falls to the attention of Europeans. Further complicating matters, there is credible evidence that French Jesuit Reverend Paul Ragueneau visited the Falls some 35 years before Hennepin's visit, while working among the Huron First Nation in Canada. Jean de Brébeuf also may have visited the Falls, while spending time with the Neutral Nation.[9]

My City

In this topic I would like to represent my city. The name of my city is Yuhno-Sakhalinsk, it was founded by Japanesee in the 20 century. After thw World War II Soviet Union took control of this city and made it as the capital of Sakhalin Island. The population of this city is a bit bigger then the population of Kamloops, so it's almost same city as Kamloops but bigger. We have a lot of Industrial companies and project because the main resource on the Sakhalin island is OIL so many American companies come to my city to get a peace of pie.

What are the differnces between the universities in Russia and TRU.

I have admitted a lot of thinks that differ education in Russia and Canada. Students from Russia ends school at 16-17 years old, but Canadians students end it in 18-19 years. So Russian students enters universitie earlier then Canadian students. Another interesting think that differs is flex-time. In TRU I found interesting that students can change time of their's courses but in Russia it is not acceptable because we have straight course's time. In Canada most of the programms are for 4 years to study, but in Russia almost all the programms are 5-6 years. So I understood that Canadian education is more liberalistic in my opinion.
