LOVE. WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT ? unfinished 5th year

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT ?
Siamo tutti convinti che L'amore e qualche cosa che รจ dentro di noi, pensiamo che quando amiamo stiamo facendo qualcosa di fantastico . pensiamo che stiamo donando una grande generosita. Anche coloro che hanno tradito per anni le loro moglie o mariti alla fine pensano : communque li amo , The thinking is like this , "even though I need all these extra sex rapports this is the person that I come home to ".Very often it is that that person pays half or most of the bills translated into love .
 The plain person who meets a very beautiful person wants them at any cost if they are minimally normal in personality and then thinks that that very beautiful person wants them because they have a certain magic . Plain wants beautiful because beautiful gives meaning to a dull life.
The Animal lover loves their pets because they think that the pet loves them and does not merely see them as their food ticket returning home. The pet for the animal lover is very often a substitute for love or a child's love.
 The artist will say he does his art for the love of art  but not admit that he or she does it for admiration or adulation/love because he or she does something not everyone can do or at least do well.
The point is that love does exist but love is only about an individual loving himself or herself , the people who are in our lives are merely mirrors who reflect our love of ourselves, for instance the beautiful partner is not really there because you love that person but there because they reflect who you want to be in the sense that yes an extremely attractive person loves me  thus supporting our love of ourselves. The thinking of many women is not just about a handsome man but based on the fact if that man has power , the thinking is then very basic, "he has power and can have who he wants but does he want me"?
The lottery is based on this or things like it .The person loved by everyone wants only you. That means your love of yourself  is respected and supported by a person who could have anyone but wants you. You win the lottery.
And that leaves the unattractive and the idiotic. When the beautiful people have finished pairing off the uglies and unattractive and idiotic pair off too but in the case of these undesirables it is nearly all a case of a compromise rapport. (A friend of mine who is wonderfully beautiful but lets say lacking in worldly ways married an extremely ugly man so the beautiful do end up with the uglies but only in this context). In the case of the unwanted their excuse is " well my partner is a good man" or " my partner is intelligent and thats more important than good looks" . All bullshit of course because bullshit is bullshit and love is love as in I LOVE ME every time we look in the mirror AND you MERELY reflect I LOVE ME.

ENGLISH CELEBRATIONS MAY DAY first and second year

The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom. It is said to be a time of love and romance. It is when people celebrate the coming of summer with lots of different customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.

Maypole Dancing - a traditional dance at this time of year
Roman festival of Flora


            Although summer does not officially begin until June, May Day really marks its beginning. May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. It was held annually from April 28th to May 3rd.
Interesting Fact
Although May Day is now the first day of the month of May, before 1752, when the calendar was changed, it was 11 days earlier.
Maypole Dancing

A traditional May day dance is known as Maypole Dancing. On May day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. copyright of protectbritain.com
Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. Schools would practice skipping round the pole for weeks before the final show on the village greens. The end results would be either a beautiful plaited pattern of ribbons round the pole or a tangled cat's cradle, depending on how much rehearsing had been done. copyright of protectbritain.com
More pictures of Maypole dancing
Many English villages still have a maypole, and on May 1st, the villagers dance around it.
Interesting Fact
The tallest maypole is said to have been erected in London on the Strand in 1661; it stood over 143 feet high. It was felled in 1717, when it was used by Isaac Newton to support Huygen's new reflecting telescope.
Another traditional dance you will often see from May is Morris Dancing.
May Day Bank Holiday
The month of May has many traditions and celebrations. For the convenience of the general public, many May Day activities have now been moved to the new May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. This Monday is a bank holiday, a day off school and work.
Many of the May Day celebrations take place at the weekend as well as on the 'May Day' Monday. The weekend is know as bank holiday weekend because it comes with the extra day holiday on the Monday. copyright of protectbritain.com
How was May Day Celebrated in the past?
It was custom for every one to go a-Maying early on May Day. Herrick, a 17th century English poet wrote:
There's not a budding boy, or girl, this day,
But is got up, and gone to bring in May.
Decorating Houses
May Day began early in the morning. People would go out before sunrise in order to gather flowers and greenery to decorate their houses and villages with in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good fortune.
Washing in the early morning dew
Girls would make a special point of washing their faces in the dew of the early morning. They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year. copyright of protectbritain.com
May Queen
The rest of the day was given over to various festivities. There was dancing on the village green, archery contest and exhibitions of strength. The highlight of the day was the crowning of the May Queen, the human replica of Flora. By tradition she took no part in the games or dancing, but sat like a queen in a flower-decked chair to watch her 'subjects'.
May Day Garlands
Young girls would make May Garlands. They covered two hoops, one at right angles inside the other, with leaves and flowers, and sometimes they put a doll inside to represent the goddess of Spring.
In some parts of Britain, May 1st is called Garland Day.
The first of May is Garland Day
So please remember the garland.
We don't come here but once a year,
So please remember the garland.
May Day Lifting
There was once a tradition in England of 'lifting' where a gang of young men would lift a pretty girl in a flower bedecked chair on May day. Then the girl would choose a boy on May 2nd.
May Day Tricks
In the North of England, the first of May was a kind of late 'April Fooling' when all sorts of pranks would take place and 'May Gosling' was the shout if you managed to trick someone. The response would be:
'May Goslings past and gone. You're the fool for making me one!'
May Day Celebrations today
In some places, May Day celebrations still begin at sunset on 30 April. They include lots of floral decorations and processions through towns and villages.
Charlton-on-Otmoor, a village near Oxford
A May-Day festival is held involving all the children from the Primary School. It starts with a special May-day song followed by a procession to the church. Everyone wears white and carries garlands of flowers. The girls wear straw bands and posies and ribbons in their hair.

In the church, the posies are laid in a great spread below the Rood Screen, which is specially decorated with a Rood-Cross completely wrapped in Yew leaves and branches.

After a very full special service, all the children process back to their school with all their families and friends. They dance a number of May-day dances and Maypole ones too before tucking into a great MAY Day feast.
Rochester Sweeps Festival
Rochester's annual Sweep Festival celebrates the traditional holiday that chimney sweeps used to enjoy on 1 May. It was the one time of the year when the sweeps could put away their tools and have some fun.
The Sweeps Festival is a colourful mix of music, dancing and entertainment. An opportunity to see some of the traditional dances and hear the songs which have been past down from generation to generation.

 
The oldest May Day celebration still taking place to day, is the Padstow 'Obby 'Oss celebration in Cornwall. Its roots date back to the 14th century. Every May Day thousands of people come to see the two famous Hobby Horses, the Old Oss and the Blue Ribbon Oss.
Celebrations in Padstow officially start the night before at midnight, when a groups of 'mayers' meet outside the Golden Lion Inn to serenade the owner with their Night Song:
Rise up, Mr. Rickard, and joy to you betide,
For summer is a-come in today;
And bright is your bride, that lays down by your side
In the merry morning of May.
The whole town is ablaze with bluebells, forget-me-nots, cowslips, and sycamore twigs. Dancing and other celebrations take place all day.
Morris Dancing

Another traditional dance seen throughout the month of May is Morris Dancing. The dancing is very lively and often accompanied by an accordion player.
Morris Dancers in Oxford
Morris dancers are usually men and wear different clothes depending on the part of the country in which they dance. They are often dressed in white with coloured baldrics (coloured belts) across their chests.
There are usually six or eight dancers arranged in two lines or in a circle facing each other. The dancers may carry white handkerchiefs that they shake, or short sticks that they bang against each other as they dance.
There are also single dancers who wear special costumes.
Well Dressing
The custom of well-dressing is popular all over Derbyshire.
May Day in Scotland
"It is not just England who celebrate Mayday, I come from a town in Scotland called Turriff. We celebrate Mayday on the 1st Monday of May every year. The roads are closed off to traffic from 10am - 4pm, we have a funfair at the local park, we have lots off stalls in the town & different activities & going on throughout the day, the Local pipeband (Turriff & Disrtrict Pipeband) march round the town playing. Its a fantastic day out for all & attracts crowds of people to Turriff. "
Veronica

In ancient Roman religion, the Floralia was a festival in honor of the goddess Flora, held April 27 during the Republican era, or April 28 on the Julian calendar. In Latin, the festival was known as the Ludi Florae, the Games  of Flora. Under the Empire, the games lasted for six days.
The festival had a licentious, pleasure-seeking atmosphere. In contrast to festivals based on Rome's archaic patrician religion, the games of Flora had a plebeian character.

 


Flora

Flora was regarded as one of the most ancient goddesses of Roman religion, and was one of fifteen deities to have her own state-supported high priest, the flamen Florialis. A goddess of flowers, vegetation, and fertility, she received sacrifices (piacula) in the sacred grove of the Arval Brothers, an archaic priesthood.Her altar at Rome was said to have been established by the Sabine king Titus Tatius during the semi-legendary Regal period. Flusalis (linguistically equivalent to Floralia) was a month on the Sabine calendar, and Varro counted Flora among the Sabine deities.

Temples of Flora

The Temple of Flora was built upon consultation with the Sibylline Books shortly after a drought that occurred around 241–238 BC. The temple was located near the Circus Maximus on the lower slope of the Aventine Hill, a site associated with the plebeians of Rome. Games were instituted for the founding day of the temple (April 28), and were held only occasionally until continued crop damage led to their annual celebration beginning in 173.
Flora Rustica ("Rural Flora") had another temple on the Quirinal Hill, which may have been the location of the altar erected by Tatius.

Games


Fragment of the Fasti Praenestini showing a note on the Ludi Florae

The games  of Flora were presented by the plebeian aediles and paid for by fines collected when public lands (ager publicus) were encroached upon.[Cicero mentions his role in organizing games for Flora when he was aedile in 69 BC. The festival opened with theatrical performances (ludi scaenici), and concluded with competitive events and spectacles at the Circus and a sacrifice to Flora.[ In 30 AD, the entertainments at the Floralia presented under the emperor Galba featured a tightrope-walking elephant.

Participation of prostitutes

Prostitutes participated in the Floralia as well as the wine festival (Vinalia) on April 23. According to the satirist Juvenal, prostitutes danced naked and fought in mock gladiator combat. Many prostitutes in ancient Rome were slaves, and even free women who worked as prostitutes lost their legal and social standing as citizens, but their inclusion at religious festivals indicates that sex workers were not completely outcast from society.[

 

In Romanian (a Romance language), Palm Sunday is called Duminica Floriilor. This name was derived from Floralia by assigning the name of a Roman festival to a Christian feast that is celebrated during the same season.

ENGLISH DAYS OF CELEBRATION . GUY FAWKES First and Second Year

GUY FAWKES NIGHT IS on the 5th of November and enjoyed by everyone. We build a bon fire have fireworks and eat roasted suasages, kids love it but who was Guy Fawkes ?Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England.
Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft beneath the House of Lords,File:House of Lords chamber - toward throne.jpg and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace File:Parliament at Sunset.JPGduring the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he broke. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes jumped from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed.
Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in England since 5 November 1605. His effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by a firework display.On 5 November 1605 Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination by lighting bonfires, "always provided that 'this testemonye of joy be carefull done without any danger or disorder'" An Act of Parliament designated each 5 November as a day of thanksgiving for "the joyful day of deliverance", and remained in force until 1859. Although he was only one of 13 conspirators, Fawkes is today the individual most associated with the failed Plot.Sketch of a group of children escorting an effigy


Historian Lewis Call has observed that Fawkes is now "a major icon in modern political culture". He went on to write that the image of Fawkes's face became "a potentially powerful instrument for the articulation of postmodern anarchism" during the late 20th century, exemplified by the mask worn by V in the comic book series V for Vendettawho fights against a fictional fascist English state.In Britain, 5 November has variously been called Guy Fawkes Night, File:Windsor castle guyfawkesnight1776.jpgGuy Fawkes Day, Plot Night and Bonfire Night; the latter can be traced directly back to the original celebration of 5 November 1605.Bonfires were accompanied by fireworks from the 1650s onwards, and it became the custom to burn an effigy (usually the pope) after 1673, when the heir presumptive, James, Duke of York, made his conversion to Catholicism public. Effigies of other notable figures who have become targets for the public's ire, such as Paul Kruger and Margaret Thatcher, have also found their way onto the bonfires, although most modern effigies are of Fawkes. The "guy" is normally created by children, from old clothes, newspapers, and a mask. During the 19th century, "guy" came to mean an oddly dressed person, but in American English it lost any pejorative connotation, and was used to refer to any male person.
Guy Fawkes is sometimes toasted as "the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions".

VICTORIAN LABOUR AND WORK first year class or second year

What jobs did children do?

Children worked on farms, in homes as servants, and in factories. Children often did jobs that required small size and nimble fingers. But they also pushed heavy coal trucks along tunnels in coal mines. Boys went to sea, as boy-sailors, and girls went 'into service' as housemaids. Children worked on city streets, selling things such as flowers, matches and ribbons. Crossing boys swept the roads clean of horse-dung and rubbish left by the horses that pulled carts and carriages.What were Victorian factories like?

Britain was the first country in the world to have lots of factories. Factory machines made all kinds of things. Machines did jobs, such as spinning, previously been done by families at home.
Factories were noisy. People had to shout above the rattle and hiss of machinery. They breathed air full of dust, oil and soot. Iron and steel works got so hot that workers dripped with sweat. Flames and sparks lit up the sky darkened by smoke from factory chimneys.Victorian England wasn't that 'hot' on rules of labour concerning children: typically, they were employed in the cotton mills to run beneath the moving machinery and collect waste

What were cotton mills?

Cotton mills were factories where cotton was spun into thread. In woollen mills, wool was spun in a similar way. Weaving machines turned the thread into textiles, such as cloth and carpets. In Victorian Britain, the cotton and wool industries employed thousands of workers, mostly in the north of England. Mill workers lived in small houses close to the factories.
Quarry Bank Mill - Cottage Industry

Cotton is a natural material that comes from cotton plants which grow in hot countries like India. It is a soft, white fibre that that is used to make clothes because is: cheaper, more comfortable to wear and easier to wash than wool.
Originally, cotton fibres were twisted together with a wooden spinning wheel to form threads of yarn which were then woven together to make cloth using a device called a loom. Families often farmed land during the day and then made cloth at home in the evening. The women would do the spinning, whilst the men would do the weaving. It was called a 'cottageindustry' industry'.
Early cotton mills were built near to rivers and used large water wheels to power the machines inside them. In 1781, Sir Richard Arkwright opened the world's first steam-powered textile mill on Miller Street in Manchester. When Boulton and Watt developed a more efficient steam engine in 1783, the textile industry grew rapidly. Textiles like cloth and carpets could be produced quickly and sold across the world. Lancashire's damp climate made it perfect for keeping cotton yarns moist and unlikely to break so it became the centre of the industrial revolution in Britain. Lots of people moved away from the countryside to work in the mills. Manchester had 108 mills by 1853 and it became known as 'Cottonopolis'. The Bridgewater Canal, connecting Manchester with the port of Liverpool, was built to move large amounts of raw cotton and finished cloths around.


The mills were hot and dusty places so they were hard to breathe in. People had to shout above the rattle and hiss of machinery, which were deafeningly noisy. Women were employed to do the spinning and weaving and the men would oversee them to make sure they did not break the rules or fall asleep.

Small children called 'scavengers' were used for cleaning out machinery whilst they were running so it was very dangerous. Many lost fingers and some were killed.


Wages were low and people worked for up to 12 hours a day in the mills because their owners wanted to make as much money as possible.

Streets of small, cheap houses were built nearby. People walked to work early in the morning and walked back at night. Often, whole families shared a single room. They suffered from bad health because they could not afford: good food, warm clothes or medicines.

Why was factory work dangerous?

Factory owners employed children because they were cheap, did not complain, had nimble fingers, and could crawl about under machines.
Small girls worked in mills as 'piecers'. They mended broken threads. 'Scavengers' crawled beneath clattering machines to pick up scraps of cotton. They risked getting caught in the machinery, losing hair or arms. Yet most mill-owners thought factory work was easy. At first, there were no laws to protect working children.

Rich and poor families

In Victorian times, many families had 10 or more children. Sadly, many children died as babies, or from diseases such as smallpox and diphtheria. Child-death struck rich and poor families.
In a Victorian town, it was easy to tell who was rich and who was poor. Children from richer homes were well fed, wore warm clothes and had shoes on their feet. They did not work, but went to school or had lessons at home.
Poor children looked thin and hungry, wore ragged clothes, and some had no shoes. Poor children had to work. They were lucky if they went to school.

Why did children go to work?

Many Victorian children were poor and worked to help their families. Few people thought this strange or cruel. Families got no money unless they worked, and most people thought work was good for children. The Industrial Revolution created new jobs, in factories and mines. Many of these jobs were at first done by children, because children were cheap - a child was paid less than adults (just a few pennies for a week's work).

New laws to protect children

People called reformers, such as Lord Shaftesbury (1801-1885), argued in Parliament for laws to stop child-work. Inspectors, called Commissioners, went into factories and mines. They talked to working children to find out the facts. These are three of the new laws passed by Parliament.
1841 Mines Act - No child under the age of 10 to work underground in a coal mine.
1847 Ten Hour Act - No child to work more than 10 hours in a day.
1874 Factory Act - No child under the age of 10 to be employed in a factory

VICTORIAN CHILDREN first year

Who went to school?

At the start of the 19th century very few children went to school. Most poor children worked. If they went to school, their families lost the money they earned.

There were some good schools for boys, for example, grammar schools and public schools. Only richer families could afford to pay the school fees, though some schools gave free places to poor boys. Poor girls did not go to school when the Victorian age began meaning they had little education. Girls from wealthy families would usually be taught at home by a governess. Sometimes, wealthy girls may have attended boarding schools too.

Where did Victorian children play?

Although many children worked in Victorian times, they still had time to play.

Outdoors, most Victorian children played in the street or in the fields and woods. Not many families had gardens big enough to play in, and there were no children's playgrounds. Rich families had playrooms or nurseries, but poorer children played wherever they could find space. With ten or more children often crammed into one or two rooms, play-space for poor families was a luxury. Playing outside was the usual escape.

 

Street fun

In street games, children shared toys like hoops, marbles and skipping ropes, with friends in the street, or in the school playground. They played chasing games such as tag and played catch with balls. If they hadn't got a proper ball, they made balls from old rags, and bats from pieces of wood. They also played hopscotch. Victorian children were able to play out in the street as there was less traffic than today. There were no cars until the 1880s. They crowded around street musicians, wheeling a barrel organ, which played tunes when the handle was turned.

Sometimes barrel organ players had a monkey with them.

Books for children

Victorian children were often given books with improving moral lessons, about characters with names like Lazy Lawrence and Simple Susan. A favourite story was Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies about a badly treated chimney-boy. There were lots of books written specially for children, such as Treasure Island (about pirates) by R L Stevenson and Black Beauty (about a horse) by Anna Sewell. Perhaps the most famous Victorian children's book is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) written by Lewis Carroll.

Children's games

Children played outdoor chasing games such as tag (which had lots of other names, such as touch or tig), and others like Tom Tiddler's Ground, where one player (Tom) tries to catch anyone trespassing on his or her ground, shown by a line. They also played a version of musical chairs, using cushions or old rags to sit on. At Easter, children played 'Egg-Shackling'. In this game, everyone put an egg with their name on in a basket or sieve, which was shaken until the eggs broke. The last egg left unbroken won.

HEALTH FOR CHILDREN

Here are my ideas on what is best for young children and young people to do to avoid illness, its good for adults too.


1.Little red meat , don't let your child eat lots of red meat its not good .Never buy red meat from supermarkets unless it is totally organic.Buy red meat that has come from animals that live free in fields.

2.Honey. Its a wonder food , use this always instead of sugar.

3.garlic capsules, one a day Another wonder food . It staves off fever and is brilliant for the body

4. Tumeric, a wonder food. You can use it on a spoon or in a curry.

5.Lots of green food or food that is black. Mix green veg with wholemeal pasta

6.No white pasta or white bread, cuts the immune system and is radio active in Italy as it is grown in North America.

7.Real organic Milk if you can find it. Ordinary milk is full of bad elements from sick overbloated animals

8.Nuts of all kinds

9.Lots of fruit, Kiwis are the best.Mix Kiwi and orange with organic ice cream for children, twice a day.

10.Make sure she has enough Iron, serve asparagus three times a week, mix with poached eggs (buy a poacher in the Uk) or wholemeal pasta

11.Avoid Tuna, it could easily be radio active.Tuna swims thousands of miles and no one knows if they pass through the radio active waters of Japan, no checks are done.

12.If she can eat raw onions then this is brilliant to stop fever. The stronger the onion the better,is also against cancer.

13.Wash hands all the time . Very important against fever. Wash the private parts too during a fever.

14. Fever is a competition between positive micro organisms and negative ones. The positive are on our skin so use ordinary soap when washing hands not really strong disinfectant.

15.Fruit rich in Vit C

16. Try to keep mouth closed in crowded places, fever enters the mouth

17.INULINE=garlic, onions, Artichoke,leeks (porro). Inuline stops the stomach becoming a source for other fevers as it is pro biotic.very important

18. Baked Beans instead of some meat courses, put beans on buttered toast , kids like this.

19.Peas and Soya beans, these are very important. Peas and Soya carry things in them that are vital to the body.

20. People get fever in Winter because people tend to crowd into places to keep warm. When I was in the army we were out all night, sleeping rough, sometimes 20 below zero but no one ever got a fever. Fever comes from people , from people all breathing the same air.

21. I got a slight fever in London at Christmas as I was working out every day.One night I came home bathed in heavy sweat and sat down instead of going straight up for a shower as there was a good programme on TV. The next day I had a slight fever so always dry down a child who has been sweating.

I will next show a variety of herbs for stopping fever in Children
