Crime food.

A new problem of our times is 'crime food'. Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very dangerous. In Britain, tons of horse meat ended up in products that were labeled as beef. British police recently found a product that used cheaper peanut powder instead of almond flour. This could kill a lot of people. Infact in China, in 2008, six babies died because of fake milk. In it, there was fake milk powder.
 Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It is also safer than selling drugs. The assistant director of Interpol, Michael Ellis, told the BBC that food crime is very similar to the drugs trade. The British government said it was a difficult problem to tackle. It said that using technology might be the only way to beat the criminal gangs.

Bansky←

Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

"We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves."

— Banksy, Wall and Piece

Banksy once characterised graffiti as a form of underclass "revenge", or guerriggla warfare that allows an individual to snatch away power, territory and glory from a bigger and better equipped enemy.

Peter Gibson, a spokesman, asserts that Banksy's work is simple vandalism, and Diane Shakespeare, an official for the same organisation, was quoted as saying: "We are concerned that Banksy's street art glorifies what is essentially vandalism."

Blek expressed a different perspective later that same year, in the documentary Graffiti Wars, stating:

"When I see Banksy making a man with a child or Banksy making rats, of course I see immediately where he takes the idea. I do feel angry. When you're an artist you use your own techniques. It's difficult to find a technique and style in art so when you have a style and you see someone else is taking it and reproducing it, you don't like that. I'm not sure about his integrity. Maybe he has to show his face now and show what kind of guy he is."

Spring Break♥♥

In the USA, high school seniors do every year their "spring break". It is celebrated between March and April. It's something about sunny days, parties, crowded beaches and teenagers listening loud music. Nothing can compares  to these amazing weeks! You feel free and young forever. Mostly of teenager for celebrate this period go to Fort Lauderdale, in Florida

.

 The first Spring Break was in 1935. The place became famous because of the men's swimming team, which went there and had their party time. Then, it became more famous with the movie "Where the boys are" in 1960, where girls and boys met there for their Spring Break. 

But residents of Fort Lauderdale became very upset because teenagers that went there to have their free and party time, caused damage to the area. That's why in 1985 new laws limited parties and legal drinking age was changed in 21.

Irish culture :)

The culture of Ireland includes customs and traditions, language, music, art, literature, folklore, cuisine and sports. Ireland's culture has been primarily Gaelic, also been influenced by Anglo-Norman, English and Scottish culture. Much of the Irish calendar still today reflects the old pagan customs, with later Christian traditions also having significant influence. Christmas in Ireland has several local traditions, some in no way connected with Christianity. The national holiday in the Republic of Ireland is Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March and is marked by parades and festivals in cities and towns across the island of Ireland, and by the Irish diaspora around the world. The festival is in remembrance to Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The early history of Irish visual art is generally considered to begin with early carvings found at sites such as Newgrange and is traced through Bronze age artefacts, particularly ornamental gold objects, and the Celtic brooches and illuminated manuscripts of the "Insular" Early Medieval period. 

The more spoken languages in Ireland are: Irish Gaelic and English. Celtic languages are most commonly spoken on the north-western edge of Europe: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall. Is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family, originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish people.
These languages descend from a common ancestor, spoken in Ireland in the late first millennium BC and early first millennium AD. From about the first century AD the Gaels started to come to Scotland from Ireland . The first Irish Gaels, the Scots, arrived in Scotland around 450 AD from Scoti across the Sea of Moyle settling in Argyll which they called Dal Riata .
In 523 AD, St Columba came from Ulster and settled in the Isle of Iona bringing Christianity to Scotland , England and parts of Europe . The consolidation of the kingdom of Dál Riata and the ancient province of Ulster around the 4th century, linked the north of Ireland and western Scotland together, this of course accelerated the expansion of Gaelic, as did the success of the Gaelic-speaking church establishment . This is an argument which has been hotly debated in recent years, with suggestions of the possibility that Gaelic evolved as a language simultaneously in Argyll and in Ireland has been advanced. 

Celtic knots are perhaps the most notorious and recognizable artwork in Celtic history.They started appearing in history after about 450 AD; the Celtic knots meaning is sketchy at best.


The Celtic Cross, or Ionic cross, has it's roots in a pre-Christian variation of the Solar Cross. Examples of the Celtic cross date back as far as 5000 years BCE. It's origins are not known, but it was known to be an early symbol of the sun god Taranis.



The Triskele of Triple Spiral is a complex Celtic symbol – the triple spiral or triskele is also referred to as a triskelion is one of the most convoluted to decipher as symbolists believe it is reflective of many areas.


A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief.Some folk traditions hold that the leprechauns are descended from the Tuatha de Danann. When the Milesians came to Ireland they conquered the Tuatha de Danann and forced them to live under ground. When Christianity took religious precedence, this may have brought about the decline of importanceof the leprechauns. The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, whose principal occupation is making and mending shoes, and who enjoys practical jokes.

Nicole Kidman's career started in 1990 with the movie "Days of Thunder". In this film starred also Tom Cruise which she is both married and divorced. In Nicole's latest film "Stoker" take part also Mia Wasikowska.

'I play Mia's mother, but she's kind of really very hard to read, she's fragile, yet she's kind of needy, yet she has got and elegance, you know, 'cause she speaks fluent French, and knows everything about wine and has been raised with this sort of very... good education and good upbringing, yet she's trapped in this house with this daughter who she has a very complicated relationship with, and that's great way to start a film!

We both said "Next time we'll be nicer to each other in a film!" 'cause it's a mother-daughter relationship that very, very fraught with resentment and anger all of those things that, as a daughter and as a mother, there's tiny little bits of it I can understeand, but it's so foreign for me, si it's like I can kind of act it, but now I want to go and be the mother that nurtures her and is kind to her!" 

The story is about the mysterious Uncle Charlie, who has relationships with the mother and the daughter. Charlie is played by a British actor: Matthew Goode.
