The active river

One of the major resources is drinking water provided by Thames Water whose area
of responsibility covers the length of the River Thames. The Thames Water Ring Main is the main distribution mechanism for water in London with one major loop linking theHampton, Walton, Ashford and Kempton Water Treatment Works to central London.In the past, commercial activities on the Thames included fishing, coppicing willows which provided wood
for many purposes including osiers, and running watermills for flour and paper production and metal beating. These activities have disappeared, although there was a proposal to build a hydro plant atRomney Lock to power Windsor Castle. As of January 2008, this scheme appears to have been abandoned.The Thames is popular for riverside housing whether in high rise flats in central London or chalets on the banks and islands up stream. The river has its own residents dwelling on houseboats, typically aroundBrentford and Tagg's Island.

Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London.

The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are

carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a chocolate brown colour.

MICHAEL JACKSON



I would like to talk about a famous person that I admire. His name is Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was born in 1959 in the USA. He was a singer, songwriter and one of the best dancers ever.

He's known as the king of pop because he achieved many records during his career, and he is the most successful musical artist ever, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

He was also recognized as one of the most innovative artists in the field of video clip. The work that he did it had a lot of quality. The topic, the style, the choreography, technologically and visually, of his work made him not just recognized by his voice, something exceptional too.

The success of his career become with the video clip “Thriller”. In this video Michael Jackson becomes a werewolf and a zombie later, visually it’s really amazing. In 1991 carried out “Dangerous”, another successful single as “Black or white”. It’s important to say that Michael Jackson gave a great part of his rich to charity.

His private life has been focus of the press in recent decades due to their preferences, his extravagant spending and of course by his skin discoloration.

Michael married Lisa Marie Presley. This marriage only lasted two years. Later, in 2001, he married with a nurse call Deborah Rowe, with whom he had two children, Prince Michael Jackson I and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. The singer had a third child, with unknown mother, called Prince Michael II.

In June of 2009, Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest at his mansion. The doctors couldn’t do anything for his life. Unfortunately, he died.

In my opinion, there are a lot of people that will miss Michael and his Music. He was a brilliant singer and dancer and that's for this reason that He becomes the king of pop. I believe that people will remember him forever.

BOOKS

I just fall in love with another book. Vampire also it is surely more than a fact that the rise of the vampire narrative is more than up .

I tell you "Midnight" by Claudia Gray is my new book on the shopping list in the Fnac
and this is their sheet.

Author: Claudia Gray .


Summary: A boarding school where nothing is what it seems. Two young men attracted by magnetic force. A dark and dangerous secret. And one certainty: surrender to love is playing with fire ...

The book begins like this "was the first day of class, ie, the last chance to escape.
He had a backpack with survival gear, and a wallet bulging with which to buy a plane ticket to anywhere, or a friend waiting in the street in a car with the engine running. In short, lacked what most sane people would call "a plan."

However, it did not matter, he would not stay at Evernight Academy for the world. "

Bye.

SATURDAY

This is my first blog. I do not know to write in this blog.

This Saturday I went to see harry Potter and the deathly hallows in the cinema.

The movie is bad and poor quality than book for my opinion that wanted action.

The director for his movie is David Yates that directed the last film by Harry Potter. Moreover, the creator of Harry Potter is J. K. Rowling. She wrote seven books from this main character and since the moment she published the first one, millions of people have waited impatiently for the next and the next book, one after the other.

Whereas the books are surprising because will stop read it.

See you.
