1. Trajan Well
Story abou well history, technical parameters, water composition and pumping method.
Overall, we have 11 wells of which 4 are used for client therapy. The oldest is well, Trajan, was drilled in 1921 and modified in 1929. This is a dug well, 11.2 m deep. Named after Adam Trajan (the author of the panegyric poem Saluberrimae Pistinienses thermae dating back to 1642).
The thermal water rises from tectonic faults from a depth of about 2,000 m. The mineral water temperature is 67 – 69 °C. The water mineral content is about 1,500 mg/l, significant hydrosulphide ranges from 5.5 to 7.5 mg/l. It further contains a major portion of calcium and magnesium.
In addition to the Trajan Well, three wells – Crato, Torkoš and Pro Patria –functioned in a similar manner in the past. Upon the drilling of deep wells (V-1, V-4a), these were no longer justified, fell into disuse and ceased to exist.
The current modification to the Trajan spring comes from 2001.

Between 1788, and the 1900s, the Australian Aboriginal population was reduced by 90%.
First of all, colonisation brought along its lot of diseases which had a horrific impact on the indigenous population. waves of epidemic diseases including smallpox, spread and annihilated many Indigenous communities. Governor Phillip reported that smallpox had killed half of the Indigenous people in the Sydney region within fourteen months of the arrival of the First Fleet.
But diseases were not the only issue that indigenous people had to face. Direct and violent conflicts between settlers and indigenous people had horrific consequences. The settlers wanted the lands so they massacred or poisoned entire clans to steal their lands.
From 1869 to the 1960s, one of the most shameful and traumatic episode of Australian history, known as the « Stolen Generation » took place. White people believed that Aboriginal people were deficient and that they needed to be « civilised ». The government forcibly took Aboriginal children from their families to educate them away from aboriginal culture and beliefs.

Ned Kelly was a criminal who killed policemen and robbed banks. However, in Australia, most people see him as a hero.
Ned Kelly is considered by many Australians as a incredibly brave man and a national hero who stood up against unfair British rule. He was considered as the defender of the poor and the oppressed. Because of that, some people refer to him as "the Australian Robin Hood. "

Ned Kelly did commit some crimes and he admitted to some of them, but some people claim that he was in fact persecuted by the police because he was poor and of Irish origins. Some of his supporters go as far as saying that he was wrongly accused of some of the crimes he is said to have committed.

As a consequence, he is often described as a rebel with a cause, a figure of rebellion against injustice and oppression. Ned Kelly was so popular that after his arrest, more than 30,000 people signed a petition to spare his life. To this day, if an Australian tells you that you are « as game as Ned Kelly », it is probably one of the best compliment you can get !

"Does Jill like winter?”
Dear Ann,
Thank you for your letter.
Today is Saturday. It's a holiday. I don't go to school
on Saturdays and Sundays.
It's rainy and cloudy today. But it isn't windy. It's
warm. I like autumn. It's my favourite season. When it's
rainy, I can listen to music and read a book. When it's
sunny and warm, we can have a picnic in the park.
My dad says, "Tomorrow the weather will be fine.
We'll go to the park and have a picnic."
My dad and my brother Jim will fly a kite. My mum, our dog Rex and I will play hide-and-seek.
We'll have cheese and ham sandwiches and many tasty cakes with tea.
But winter will come soon. You know I don't like winter. We don't have picnics in winter.
Ann, what is your favourite season? What do you like to do in this season?
What will you do next winter?
Write back.
Yours, Jill Brown

I rarely watch TV, since I prefer reading books, but there are a few shows that I enjoy watching. There are three shows that I love the most and they are Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock.
I started watching Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock all on my own. I look forward to these shows because they have great characters and plots. These series are amazing, and the characters arcs are always remarkably interesting. The main characters are very different, but they all have strong personalities. In my opinion, the directing in Doctor Who is perfect and the acting in Sherlock is so great.
I think these shows are fantastic because they have mystery, adventure, and monsters or aliens. Not only do these shows provide epic stories, but they also provide lessons in some ways.
TV shows, whether they're fictional, fantasy, or documentaries, can teach life lessons through the progression of the story, and through character development, just like a book can. You can even sometimes identify to a character.
Although binge watching isn't really a good thing, I do think that it can have some good effects. For some people, watching a show is like reading a book, it takes them away to another universe and lets them forget about their own problems for a while.
