Hallowe’en Hallowe'en is a popular festival in many countries all over the world, and every year it seems to get bigger. Find out some more about the traditional festival of Hallowe'en. The origins of the name The festival of Hallowe'en has its (0) roots in Celtic and Roman traditions. Over 2,000 years ago the Celts in Britain, Ireland and parts of France celebrated Samhain to (1) mark the beginning of winter. When the Romans invaded, they merged this with Feralia, their celebration of the passing of the dead. As Christianity spread, the Church tried to replace these pagan feasts with official Church holy days. One of these was November 1. It was called All Saints Day, or "All Hallows", and October 31 was known as "All Hallows' Eve", and then Hallowe'en. Hallowe'en traditions In the past there was a tradition called "souling". Poor people went around houses asking for food. In exchange, they promised to say prayers for the dead. People no longer go souling, but the habit has been transformed into a modern Hallowe'en game for children in America, who dress up as ghosts, witches and monsters and go around people's houses, asking for sweets. This game is called ‘Trick or Treat’. Witches Hallowe'en wouldn't be fun without witches. Witches have always been part of popular folklore. Shakespeare's (2) play "Macbeth" opens with three witches. A witch was someone -usually a woman - who had special powers and had dealings with the devil. The American town, Salem, in the state of Massachusetts, is famous for the "witchcraft trials", which took place there in 1692. Pumpkins The pumpkin is a symbol of Hallowe'en. People empty a pumpkin, cut a face into the side, and put a candle inside. It's known as a Jack O' Lantern, from an Irish legend about a man called Jack, who made a deal with the devil.
1. But rock phosphate is a finite resource and the biggest supplies are mined in politically unstable places, posing risks to the many countries that have little or no reserves.
2. Phosphate use has increased in the last 50 years as the global population has grown and the date when it is estimated to run out gets closer with each new analysis of demand.
3. With some scientists projecting that moment could come as soon as a few decades’ time.
4. “Phosphate supply is potentially a very big problem,” said Martin Blackwell, at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural research centre in the UK, and lead author of a new study. “Currently the population is growing and we are going to need more food.”
5. “In a few years' time, it could be a political issue with some countries effectively controlling the production of food by having control of rock phosphate supplies,” Blackwell said.
School does prepare you for the future. School prepares you for the future because it teaches you how to become an everyday worker. Think of it this way, your boss doesn't want you slacking and not doing your work in a everyday environment. Well thats what school is an everyday environment where you complete assignments and whether you do them is up to you or not. However in a common work place if you don't do your work you end up fired, or in an almost same way you fail the class. Which if you think about it is almost like failing your job.
