#2 Tower Bridge

Described as both a bascule and suspension bridge that spans the River Thames, Tower Bridge is another unmistakable London landmark that is
often shown prominently in photographs of the city. Construction was started in 1886 and lasted for eight years. It’s proximity to the Tower of London is what gave the bridge its name.

#3 Big Ben

There may not be a more famous clock on the face of the earth than Big Ben. Another British landmark that is recognized the world over, Big Ben actually gets its name from the 13-ton bell that’s housed in the clock tower and not from the clock itself. The bell currently on duty was created in 1858 after its larger predecessor cracked in 1856. The name Big Ben comes from the fellow who first ordered the bell, whose name was Sir Benjamin Hall.

#4 Buckingham Palace

There’s hardly a better visual representation of London than the sight of the changing of the guard outside Buckingham Palace. No visit to London
could be considered complete without stopping by to witness the age-old ceremony that is thoroughly steeped in traditional British pomp and circumstance.

#5 Madame Tussauds

Here you’ll find what is regarded by many as the world’s best wax museum. The museum is packed with wax figures of some of Britain’s most famous, as well as political figures and celebrities from all
over the world. The figures in the museum are amazingly lifelike, giving visitors the feeling that they have come close to actually meeting face-to- face with some of the world’s most famous people.

#6 Palace of Westminster

This is a stop that political junkies absolutely cannot afford to pass up. The Palace of Westminster is also known as the Houses of Parliament, and is the place where British lawmakers convene to conduct the business of government for the kingdom’s 63 million subjects.
In the north end of the building resides The House of Commons (elected Members of Parliament) where green leather upholstery is the norm, and
the House of Lords is located at the south end of the building where the leather upholstery is red.

#7 Saint Paul’s Cathedral

Featuring a dome that was inspired by St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and still stands as one of the tallest domed structures on the world, Saint Paul’s Cathedral is recognized by people around the world. The cross that sits atop the dome is approximately 365 feet (118 meters) above the ground. The cathedral was saved by the heroic efforts of London’s firefighters during World War II when the city was bombed by Hitler’s military forces.

#8 Trafalgar Square

The name for this famous city square comes from a historic military victory where Lord Horatio Nelson defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The square is a popular place for people from all over the city to gather every year on December 31st to celebrate the arrival of a new year.

#9 Tower of London

As one of the world’s most famous buildings, it’s hard to pass up a visit to the Tower of London. The structure is about 900 years old and has served a
number of purposes during its long service, including time as a royal palace, arsenal, jewel house, and zoo.

London has to be counted among the world’s top tourist destinations. The amazing historical and cultural attractions in and around London are sufficient to keep a visitor tied up for months or possibly years, given enough leisure time to check them all out. Visitors planning to visit Europe should plan for at least a few days in London. That’s surely not enough time to see even a fraction of
what London has to offer, but will certainly be better than not visiting at all.


#10 London Eye

France A prominent feature of the London skyline, the London Eye is somewhat like a Ferris wheel on steroids. Visitors can climb aboard one of the
attraction’s 32 pods for a stunning 30-minute spin that offers some of the very best views of the city you can find. Riders will be treated to a bird’s eye view of up to 55 of London’s most-recognized landmarks.

Imagine, that your boss assigns you in charge of a new promising project, and you spend a good many hours in your office after the work day has been over in order to have finished it due time.

When it comes to pay bonuses for executed work, your chief remembers your crash efforts – and rewards you with a premium. Doesn’t that scenario sound good? In accordance with a new research, such a scenario is more likely to happen with men rather than women. This research suggests a new explanation for a stark difference between male and female salaries.

Sociology professors Kim A. Weeden and Youngjoo Cha suppose, that the difference has remained unchanged till nowadays because men are more ready to spend overhours at work than women, that’s why they get compensation more often. To prove their theory, Cha and Weeden studied 30 years of results from Census Bureau and Current Population Survey of Bureau of Labor Statistics. The researchers found out, that in 1979 women had only 70% of men’s income. In 1991 the figure went up to 75%, but afterwards stayed at the same level of 76% from late 1990s until 2009.

The chart of “overworking” tendency also went upward within the same period of time. According to 1980s’ statistics, 13% of men and only 3% of women spent at work more than 50 hours. By 2000 the figures went up almost proportionally: 13% of men and 7% of women spent more than 50 hours at work place. The sociologists believe, that subsequently employees were expected to spend more time at work. However, the companies were ready to pay a compensation for it, that’s why men had a higher income.

The question then arises: why do fewer women eager to spend long hours at work like men? In researchers’ opinion, it’s because the society still believes, that women ought to undertake most of the family obligations, connected with housework and bringing up children.

Time slips past when you are immersed in your smartphone. June 2007 marked the release of iPhone from Apple. It was a gaming gadget with a simple display with 320x480 resolution (now it is twice as that).

The instant and sudden leap of iPhone’s vogue in 2007 astounded the experts. Out of the blue, Jobs’ masterpiece overcame BlackBerry even though some customers argued that they had difficulty typing on it. Even though it was really pricey!

Can we compare BlackBerry with iPhone today?
What can the customers say about the smartphone market nowadays? In 2007 they could not even imagine that the rectangle with curbed corners would be a leader in the market.

Get acquainted with the mad though true facts about iPhone device:

1. Collaboration with Apple resulted in a famous band’s appearance in an iPod commercial. Take a look at the “Artists” icon in the Music app – and see Bono from U2. The front man participated in a release of the iPod limited edition with U2.


2. The implementation of the iPhone project was confidential and throughout two years of the idea realization not more than 30 people were aware of it.


3. Retina display screen, the most sumptuous piece in the iPhone 4, costs a bomb - $28.50. The total cost of the gadget is $200, although that does not take into consideration design, branding or assembly.


4. A round figure of 500 million iPhones has been purchased by loyal Apple customers. The number of sold units has been overwhelmingly increasing since last spring. If all iPhones sold over the world were distributed among the US citizens, eighty percent of the USA inhabitants would have an iPhone.


5. If it were not for 9 rare earth minerals, we would not have the iPhone as it is: colorful, vibrating, playing music, doing all that outstanding stuff we adore. Ninety percent of the components are extracted in China.


6. The iPhone combines incompatible: its computer chip is manufactured by the Apple’s severest competitor – Samsung. Keep enemies closer than friends – this motto serves Apple at best, since the company sued Samsung in June for patent law violation and won. Thus, the cooperation between two companies looks a little weird. Apple and Samsung agreed to design and produce the next mobile processor in synergy.


7. The iPhone production is almost rocket science since it took more than 156 suppliers and 200 patents to manufacture it. iPhone patented everything in the applications and appearance of the device, its texture and assembly. Intellectual property registration protects the innovations. The list of special suppliers to iPhone, iPad, iPod demonstrated the sophisticated nature of the device.
