names which in some cases are more interesting than the Latin ones
The old English name for january was Wulf-Monath which means month of the wolves.
the have been no wolves in Britain for almost three centuries so it is hard to imagine a time when wolves roamed the island . In the cold of the deep winter they got so hungry that they came into the towns to look for food so January was called Wulf- Monath
January is named after Janus the Roman god of beginnings and endings . Janus had two faces, one that looked into the future and one that looked into the past. January is a fitting name for the first month of the new year because it is a custom on January first for people to look at what they have done in the past and make decisions for the future .
Современные английские имена произошли от Латинской, но до того, как англичане начали использовать латинские имена у них были свои собственные местные имена, которые звучали намного интереснее, чем латинские.
Старое английском имя, которым назвали ребенка, родившегося в январе, было Вульф-Монат, которое обозначало, что он родился в месяце волков.
В Британии не было ни одного волка на протяжении примерно трех столетий, поэтому трудно представить время, когда волки водились на острове. Зимой в мороз они очень сильно замерзали и были голодны, поэтому приходили в город, чтоб найти еды, именно в январе, потому что он был самым холодным месяцем зимы, поэтому январь и назвали Месяцем Волков.
Январем месяц назвали в честь Янвуса романского бога начала и конца. У Янвуса было два лица, одно смотрело в будущее, а другое в прошлое. Январь стал первым месяцем нового года для людей, чтобы они могли увидеть, что они сделали в прошлом, и чтобы запланировать будущее.

or cereals and constitute important grain crops exceeded only by
wheat, rye and corn in acreage and value. What the origin of
common oats is remains in doubt but its cultivation is not so old as
wheat.
The species of oats, which include all the cultivated varieties,
appears to have arisen in the eastern temperate zone of Europe or
western Asia. As for barley, it has been known for thousands of
years and must have been cultivated before any recorded history. In
the barley ear spikelets resemble those of wheat while the spikelets
of oats differ in that they have stalks forming a panicle usually 9 to
12 inches long. there exist many different kinds of oats and barley
and as with the other small grains, there are many differences as to
characteristics between varieties raised.
Both oats and barley are most commonly seeded in the spring and
grown as annuals; yet each has varieties that are winter annuals to
be sown in the fall. No winter-oat varieties have been developed
thus far are sufficiently hardy for dependable production where
winters are severe. They are not grown as far north nor at such
elevations as barley, the hardiest winter barleys resisting winter
killing better than any of the present varieties of winter oats. Of the
spring sown oats some are very early. These are favored by the
warm climate of the south, for they complete the growth before the
hottest, driest part of the season.
Both oats and barley are grown by essentially identical seeding,
cultural, and harvest methods. They fit conveniently into same sort
of crop rotations, have about the same effect on the land on the
succeeding crops, and have approximately the same seasonal labor
requirements.

Bringing (подлежащее) together the buyer and the seller and facilitating (подлежащее) their exchange is the essence of marketing (предложное дополнение). From the time of the Roman mercatus (Latin, for a
public place where sellers and buyers meet), the townmarket square has been an
important center of commerce where direct transactions between producers and
consumers take place. In this type of location, each producer accepts major
responsibility for advertising, finding customers and setting a price. With the
spread of trade more and more specialised artisans were able to ive without

exactly where to find thousands of streets in London. You could find it on the bookshelves of the most London homes and in just every travel agency in the city. It lists every street in London and its carefully drawn maps show parks, gardens, railway lines, canals and just about anything else that can be put onto a piece of paper. So where did it come from? Phyllis Pearsall was a remarkable woman. She was born in Britain in 1906. She stayed there until she left school, and then travelled around France. She earned money by painting people's pictures and writing for a newspaper in Paris.
In the 1930s she returned to London, where she worked for her father's company, making maps of the world. She thought that there was a need for new street maps of London, after in 1935 she got lost while using a 20-year-old street map. So she started working on a book of maps. She walked along every street in the capital and wrote down the name, the important buildings and even the house numbers. Working eighteen-hour days she walked a total of 3,000 miles, while compiling her book. She kept the information about the streets on cards in small boxes.
One day a box with cards of all the streets beginning with "T" fell out of her window. She found most of the cards, but some cards landed on top of a bus and she never saw them again. When she sent the cards to the printer, someone asked her, "Why isn't Trafalgar Square in your book?" It was because she had lost the card. Phyllis Pearsall called her book A to Z. The first A to Z was in the shops in 1936 and sold very well. Now it is the most popular book of London street maps. It shows every street in London, important buildings, museums, theatres, schools, parks, train and underground stations. Later Phyllis Pearsall painted pictures of many of the city's famous buildings. In the same year, she formed the Geographers' Map Company which began publishing street maps and atlases of towns and cities and road maps of the whole country.
Today there are more than 130 people working for the Company. It publishes 359 titles including maps and atlases in both black and white and full colour. Computers were introduced into the drawing process in 1991. In 1996 the Company produced its first electronic street map of London on CD which contained over 90,000 streets, stations and different places of interest. 2005 saw the start of the next generation of A-Z maps, this time for mobile phones.
Phyllis Pearsall wrote about the history of the company in her book From Bedsitter to Household Name. She died in August 1996 at the age of 89.
