Somewhere in the castle Macbeth sits alone, contemplating the murder of King Duncan. And it gets a little complicated. See, if it were simply a matter of killing the king and then moving on without consequences, it wouldn't be a big issue. The problem is what happens afterward —the whole, being damned to hell thing. It's even worse, because murdering Duncan in Macbeth's own home would be a serious violation of hospitality. He's supposed to protect the king, not murder him. Plus, Duncan is a pretty good king (if not a bit "meek") and heaven is bound to frown upon murdering such a decent fellow. In then end, Macbeth decides that it's probably not a good idea to commit murder. He has no justifiable cause to kill the king and he admits that he's merely ambitious. And then Lady Macbeth enters.She gives him a good tongue-lashing, questions his manhood, and lays out the plan to get Duncan's guards drunk and frame them for the murder. If Macbeth can...

↬ She is remembered for her unique  poetry. Emily was born on 10th December 1830, in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts.  Her family were pillars of the local community; their house known as “The Homestead” or “Mansion” was often used as a meeting place for distinguished visitors. Since she was a child, she showed of having a high intelligence. In addition, she used to have a passion and a talent for writing. A crucial issue at the time was the issue of religion, which to Emily was the “all important question”. The Calvinist approach to religion believed that men were inherently sinful and most humans were doomed to hell. There was only a small number who would be saved, and this could only be achieved by the adherent proclaiming his faith in Jesus Christ, as the true Saviour. Emily always had ''her'' view towards the matter of religion: she never accepted the doctrine of ''original sin''. Emily was a bright student, but after a ersistent cough develop...

PRIDE HAS A FALL.

↬  Gorelal was a famous sculptor. His sculptures looked real ones. One day he saw a dream that after fifteen days, the demon of Death would come to take him. Gorelal prepared nine statues of himself and when on the 15th day he heard the Demon of Death coming, he took his place between the statues. The Demon could not recognise him and was astonished to see ten Gorelals instead of one. He rushed back to the God of death and told the matter. The God of death got annoyed and set out to take Gorelal himself. Gorelal was alert and stood motionless. The God of Death initially got perplexed. But he thought for a moment. He said, “Gorelal, these sculptures would have been perfect but for one mistake." Gorelal was unable to suffer the least blemish in his work. He came out and asked, "Where is the fault?" God of Death caught him and said, “HERE". The statues were faultless but Gorelal was caught because of his pride.

CHRISTMAS LEGEND.

One winter,  a bird broke its wing while she was flying   and was left behind. Soon frost and snow covered the forest and she was cold and hungry. So she asked the trees to help her and let her stay in their branches. The birch tree was proud of being beautiful and haughtily replied to the bird's pleas by saying that he could not possibly help her because he had to look after the birds of the forest first. The strong oak tree was reluctant because it was afraid that the bird would have to live there till spring time and would eat up some of its acorns. Even the willow tree that seemed to be gentle otherwise refused to help or even talk to the strangers.  At that point, the bird was in much distress and tried to fly some more but she was still injured. By seeing her struggling like this, the spruce tree offered her the warmest branch to stay. Inspired by the kindness of spruce tree, the pine tree also volunteered to protect the spruce tree and the bird from the North ...

AURORA BOREALIS.

Immagine
↬ The aurora borealis, also called ''The Northern Lights'', is a multi-colored brilliant light show in the Earth's atmosphere that is caused by the collision of gas particles, with charged electrons from the sun's atmosphere. It is most often viewed at high latitudes close to the magnetic north pole. Usually is only seen in places like Alaska, Canada, and Norway. In addition we have also the aurora australis (Southern Lights) but in the southern hemisphere. Green is the most common color to see, while red is the rarest. In general colors can also appear to flow, from various shapes and dance in the sky. This happens because the collisions between the atoms and the charged particles are constanly shifting along the magnetic currents of the Earth's atmosphere, and the reactions of these collisions follow the currents. The peak of aurora activity typically follows an eleven sunspot cycle (for example, in this case, 2013 - 2024). During times of sunspots the sun...

↬ The origin of the surname dates back to the ancient Romans, which distinguished people with three names: praenomen  ( our name ), nomen  - that recognizes the family that you belong to - and the cognomen, a kind of family' nickname. The contemporary last name was born just when they felt the need - for the population's growth - to identify people and gather those who were the same lineage's members. My surname should comes from other surnames connected to the symbolic meaning bestowed to the ''source of spirituality and feelings' purity'', but also people who used to live near to a fountain. There are three emblems for this surname:

CURIOSITIES & STUFF.

↬  A Swiss agricultural institute made a revelation of why Swiss cheese has holes in it. A long time ago, people used to put milk into buckets open to the air, in this way small particles of hay  get into the milk, which creates big holes when the liquid matures into cheese. Now scientists have found why these holes are getting smaller or disappearing during the last fifteen years: this happens because of industrial milking systems that make milk cleaner. 
Pancake is one of the typical dishes in England. Someone says that the first recipe has been printed in 1434! There's a story behind this tradition. A woman was cooking some pancakes in her house, but suddenly she hears the sound of the bells that indicate the beginning of the confessions, then she runs toward the church with a frying-pan in her hands, and to not make pancakes burnt, this lady continued to make them jump in open-air. This is how the ''Pancake Race'' was born, it repeats every Shrove Tuesday. There's also the ''UK Parliamentary Pancake Race'', place where even politicians partecipate.

Media literacy is the ability of access, analyse, build, and appraise messages from media in all their forms. Into this ads there is only a piece of pizza on a cartoon, and we can read ''fight for the last slice''. How can we understand it? Actually in the pizza we see: tomato, cheese but also kind of a green stain, that represents the small remaining parts of forests in the earth. Business is killing us with hunger of power, save the planet.
