Free Walking Tour – free of charge walking tour, where participants give tips tour guide for his work.
Guide can take money or give it to his Free Walking Tour organization.
Free Walking Tour typically has a schedule.
Weather and number of coming participants doesn’t matter.
The movement appeared in 2004 in Berlin.
According to the portal freetoursnetwork in 2016 free walking tour exists in 206 cities in 75  countries around the world.
The concept of Free Walking Tour in the tourism branch can be compared with a freeware on the IT-market.
Free software can be an advertising of the commercial product or its manufacturer.
The organizers of the Free Walking Tour often provide some business services such as a shuttle service, different entertainment, thematic, motorized and individual tours; however, the free tour model has developed as a hugely popular way to tour cities in its own right in recent years, with more and more tour companies offering free walking tours exclusively, such as Generation Tours in Dublin, Ireland, for example.
Free Walking Tour guides can be compared with the street performers who entertain passers-by and offer for donations as well as compared to history professors who bring a city and it's stories to life.
Because tour guides only work for gratuities, the quality of a free tour tends to be significantly and consistently better than traditional "pay first" tours, which can take advantage of unknowing travelers.
The company began in 1953 as Buena Vista Distribution Company, to manage distribution, marketing and promotion for movies produced by the Walt Disney Studios.
These include Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight Pictures, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Disneynature, and Touchstone Pictures.
The division changed to its current name in 2007.
Since 1987, the company name had been Buena Vista Pictures Distribution.
Before 1953, Walt Disney's productions were distributed by Columbia Pictures, United Artists and RKO.
However, an argument led to Walt and his older brother Roy O. Disney beginning the Buena Vista Film Distribution Company, Inc. (BVDC), to handle North American distribution of their own products.
For the  Toy Story premiere, Disney rented the Hollywood Masonic Temple for Totally Toy Story, as a multimedia funhouse and a promotional event for the movie.
Because of its success as a venue, in July 1998, Buena Vista Pictures Distribution bought the Masonic Temple building.
In April 2006, Buena Vista International agreed to a distribution deal with MegaStar Joint Venture Company Limited.
This was to help them bring their most popular movies to be shown in Vietnam.
In 2009, Disney began a partnership with DreamWorks Studios.
They agreed to make an estimated 30 movies over a five-year period from DreamWorks and release them under the Touchstone Pictures name.
The distribution deal will end in August 2016.
DreamWorks and Disney decided to not renew their agreement in December 2015; with Universal Pictures replacing Disney as DreamWorks' distributor.
A lathe is a type of machine used to shape things.
Various kinds of work such as woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, spin welding and glassworking use lathes.
A lathe works by turning an object on an axis and applying a tool to shape it.
Most lathes turn the workpiece on a horizontal axis; the potter's wheel uses a vertical axis.
There are various types of lathe machine but horizontal lathes are used widely.
CNC (Computer numerical control) lathes can perform the same jobs more accurately than manual lathes.
Lathes work by using accessories such as cutting tools and rests.
Woodturning is a type of woodworking.
It is used to create different types of wooden object using a lathe.
Woodturning is different from other types of woodworking because the wood is spinning while on a lathe when it is being designed.
There are many different types of objects that can be made from this process.
Metal spinning is a process where a piece of sheet metal is rotated on a machine (often a lathe) to produce an object.
The  object usually has the qualities of being round, hollow and symmetrical.
Metal spinning dates back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt.
It is closely related to the potter's wheel.
The process begins with a flat piece of metal or a metal cylinder.
It is cut to a specific size based on the size of the finished part.
A form is used to create the internal shape of the spun metal part.
The form is often made of aluminum or hardened steel.
Metal spinning used to be used for creating prototypes and where only a few parts needed to be made.
With the introduction of automatic lathes, metal spinning can be used to create a larger number of parts inexpensively.
Metal Spinning a Bowl on a Lathe
Spin welding (also called thermal welding) is a technique used to model thermoplastic materials.
The material is remodelled by using enough friction to make it so the material will be heated so much that is able to change its shape or have something attached to it.

Glassworking refers to techniques and styles that use glass.
Some common forms of glassworking are:

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are fatty acids that humans and other animals must eat.
The body needs them  for good health but cannot make them.
Only two fatty acids are needed for humans.
When the two EFAs were discovered in 1923, they were called "vitamin F", but in 1929, research on rats showed that the two EFAs are fats rather than vitamins.
The Wilson-Gorman Tariff of 1894 (also called the Income Tax Act of 1894) was a bill passed by Congress that reduced the  Tariffs on certain imports into the United States.
The final version lowered duties slightly, but added a number of other provisions.
One of these was a 2% federal income tax.
Other items such as coal, lumber, and wool were added to the duty-free list,  while sugar was removed from the duty-free list (where it had been included as a result of the McKinley Tariff of 1890).
Debates over tariffs had been going on since America became a country.
As the US became increasingly industrialized, the debates became more heated.
The act was an effort by Democrats to help the country recover from the Panic of 1893, a serious economic depression.
It tried to accomplish this by lowering tariffs and making up for the loss of revenues by a federal income tax.
They believed if the US lowered tariffs other countries would also.
They also believed they could push through a direct tax on personal income.
The act failed to achieve any of its goals.
A year later it was repealed by the Supreme Court decision Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co as being unconstitutional.
Indirectly, the tariff was a contributing cause to the Spanish–American War.
In the last days of the Benjamin Harrison administration, a number of events hurt the economy.
A major employer, the Reading Railroad, went into receivership.
This led to an unfortunate chain of events.
Hundreds of banks and businesses which depended on the Reading and other railroads were forced to close.
The US stock market went down dramatically.
Fearing things could get worse European investor pulled their funds out of the US.
Even so, the depression spread to Europe.
Meanwhile there was an agricultural depression in the south and western United States causing the economy to become much worse.
When President Grover Cleveland took office, over 4 million people had already lost their jobs.
But Cleveland believed he should do nothing—the situation would correct itself.
The Democrats in Congress had for a long time wanted to lower tariffs.
The Wilson-Gorman tax act called for a 2% income tax on any "gains, profits and incomes" over $4,000 for a period of five years.
The income tax was supposed to make up for revenue that would be lost by tariff reductions.
The income tax
It was the first income tax since the Civil War.
Unlike the wartime tax, there had been pressure in Congress for a direct tax on income.
Between 1874 and 1893, nearly 70 income tax bills had been introduced by Democrats in Congress.
Generating revenue was not the primary goal of a direct income tax.
The main issue was fairness.
The bulk of federal revenue was from tariffs that all Americans had to pay when they bought imported products.
But giant businesses like railroads, steel manufacturers, sugar companies were making large profits that were not being taxed.
Securities, bonds and savings were also not being taxed.
So an income tax was a fair remedy for this situation.
Those who opposed an income tax, most living in the large eastern cities, called it "class legislation" (meaning targeting their class).
Many thought it was a tax on the rich since 90% of Americans did not have to pay the tax.
Others thought that a federal income tax would take money away from the state governments.
The Wilson-Gorman Tariff made the economy worse.
It led to cheaper goods being imported from other countries that competed with American-made products.
This hurt the profits of American businesses.
At the same time, American companies did not find many overseas markets for their goods.
The tariff act also hurt the Cuban economy.
It led to increased anger by Cubans against Colonial Spain.
This was a contributing factor leading up to the Spanish-American war in 1898.
But the income tax portion of Wilson-Gorman that was its undoing.
There was strong resistance by wealthy citizens and high-earning companies that were targeted by the income tax.
As the economy got worse the Los Angeles Times remarked, "The Democrats are in favor of an income tax for the reason that Democrats, as a rule, have no incomes to tax."
A year later the act was overturned by the 5–4 decision in Pollick.
That decision, in turn, was later overturned by the passing of the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

A depression is a long period of time in which the economy of a country is not working well.
It is usually marked by a large number of people being without jobs.
A depression is a more severe kind of recession.
A depression can last for several years.
In addition to high unemployment, depressions hurt banks, trade and manufacturing.
Prices fall, credit is harder to get and there is an increase in bankruptcies.
A depression in one country can quickly spread to other countries.
The Great Depression (1929-39) was the longest lasting and deepest economic depression in the history of the modern industrial world.
It started after the U.S. stock market crash in 1929.
The prices on the Wall Street stock market fell from October 24 to October 29, 1929.
It sent Wall Street into a panic.
Millions of investors were financially ruined.
By 1933 nearly half the banks in the United States had failed and between 13 and 15 million Americans were unemployed.
The beginnings of World War II in Europe ended the depression.
The Great Depression affected countries worldwide.
Unlike previous depressions in which a few countries were hurt, the Great Depression was felt by nearly all industrialized countries.
Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America all suffered.
Countries tried to protect their own economies by raising tariffs on goods they imported into their countries.
This caused world trade to fall by some 30 percent.
An estimated 30 million people were unemployed worldwide by 1932.
The Great Depression had far-reaching political consequences.
As economies failed some people looked to military dictators to save their countries.
For example, countries like Argentina and several in Central America had dictators.
In Germany, Italy and Japan, Fascism took hold which directly led to World War II.
In the Soviet Union the depression allowed Joseph Stalin to come to power.
He exiled millions to labor camps and began a reign of terror called the Great Purge.
As many as 20 million Soviets died in the 1930s alone.
In the west, one response was Welfare Capitalism.
This took hold in countries such as Canada, France and Great Britain.
Signs of a depression
As of 2013, some countries in Europe were suffering greater unemployment than they did during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The Gross domestic product has been shrinking faster than some European nations can cut spending.
Europe's financial crisis shows every sign of getting worse, not better.
While called a recession by some government officials, economists are already calling it a depression.
As European countries are locked into the Euro they cannot devalue their own currency to adjust their economies.
This means they cannot lower the price of their exports to make them more attractive and so cannot achieve a balance of trade.

Gritstone or grit is a hard, coarse-grained, siliceous sandstone.
This term is especially applied to sandstones quarried for building material.
British gritstone was used for millstones to mill flour, to grind wood into pulp for paper and for grindstones to sharpen blades. "
Grit" is often applied to sandstones with angular sand grains.
It may commonly contain small pebbles or breccia.
Millstone Grit is an informal term for gritstones  found in the Peak District and Pennines of northern England.
These sediments were laid down in the late (upper) Paleozoic era, in the Carboniferous period, in deltaic conditions.
Goofy and Wilbur is an animated cartoon short.
It was released by RKO Radio Pictures on March 17, 1939.
It was the first cartoon with Goofy in a solo role without either Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.
In this cartoon Goofy goes fishing with his pet grasshopper, Wilbur.
They have nothing but bad luck.
The smarter dog, Goofy, and his dumb insect friend catch fish in a fishing net using Wilbur as bait.
This cartoon shows a lot of violence, because Wilbur is nearly, or perhaps actually, killed.
The cartoon is known for its 13 slapstick adventures during the eight minutes of action.
It was released two years after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and a year before Pinocchio and Fantasia (both in 1940).
Goofy decides to use Wilber as bait, but he realizes too late that his friend might actually get eaten by a fish.
Goofy has a boat he is rowing and a net, but no fishing rod.
Wilbur, being a live bug, becomes the perfect choice for bait inside their fishing net, which will attract the fish as food.
Wilber's life depends on Goofy to save the little bug, who becomes the bait for a half-dozen fish.
As Wilber gets tricked again and again, he is at last swallowed by a frog; then that frog gets eaten by a stork, all while Goofy desperately attempts a chasing rescue.
In the end Wilbur hatches out of the stork egg, and to Goofy's relief, seems okay.
It is not explained how Wilber ended up in the egg of the stork.
One blog writer says: "I wonder if Goofy has had a psychotic break at the end of the cartoon, and the reappearance of Wilbur is simply a delusion."

The Peak District is an upland area in England at the southern end of the Pennines.
It is mostly in northern Derbyshire but also includes parts of Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire and Yorkshire.
The area has two main parts.
The northern 'Dark Peak' is where most of the moorland is found.
Its geology is gritstone.
The southern 'White Peak' is where most of the population lives: its geology is mainly limestone.
Much of the area is uplands above , with a high point on Kinder Scout of .
Despite its name, the landscape generally lacks sharp peaks, but has rounded hills and gritstone escarpments (the "edges").
The area is surrounded by major conurbations, including Huddersfield, Manchester, Sheffield, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.
The area is very difficult to travel across.
The roads are few and narrow.
This is due to the terrain, which is hilly, rough and uneven.
Major motorways run east and west of the area.
The Peak District National Park became the first national park in the United Kingdom in 1951.
It attracts many visitors every year.
The Peak District is formed almost exclusively from sedimentary rocks dating from the Carboniferous period.
They comprise the Carboniferous limestone, the overlying gritstone and finally the coal measures at the margins of the area.
There are outcrops of igneous rocks including lavas, tuffs and volcanic vent agglomerates.
The Peak District is like a broad dome (see image below).
Earth movements after the Carboniferous period resulted in the up-doming of the area.
This resulted in the dome-like shape.
The shale and sandstone were worn away until limestone was exposed.
At the end of this period, the Earth's crust sank here which led to the area being covered by sea, depositing a variety of new rocks.
Some time after its deposition, mineral veins were formed in the limestone.
These veins and rakes have been mined for lead since Roman times.
The Peak District was covered by ice during at least one of the ice ages of the last 2 million years.
Glacial meltwaters eroded a complex of sinuous channels along the margin of the Peak District during this period.
Glacial meltwaters helped form many of the caves in the limestone area.
Wild animal herds roamed the area, and their remains have been found in several of the local caves.
The different types of rock that lie beneath the soil strongly influence the landscape.
They determine the vegetation and so the animals that will live in the area.
Limestone has fissures (cracks) and is soluble in water, so rivers carve deep, narrow valleys.
These rivers then often find a route underground, creating cave systems.
Millstone Grit on the other hand is insoluble but porous, so it absorbs water.
Water moves through the grits until it meets the less porous shales beneath, creating springs when it reaches the surface again.
The shales are friable and easily attacked by frost.
