Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas (Live!)



The Eagles - Please Come Home For Christmas

Artist : Eagles, The
Title : Please Come Home For Christmas
-----------
Bells will be ringing, the sad sad news,
Oh what a Christmas, to have the Blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing, Silent Night
Oh, Christmas carols, by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas,
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Years Night

TAG:Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with one you love

So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year, will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, at Christmas once again

SlideSpeech: New Year Celebrations in Poland_B

I am so proud of this.
New Year's Day and New Year’s Eve, known in Poland as Sylwester (St Silvester's Day), marks the start of the carnival period, which features celebratory events like balls and parties. A fun tradition that has been popular for centuries is the kulig (sleigh rides). Many people in Poland celebrate New Year’s Day with dances, concerts, and meals featuring traditional Polish dishes including bigos (hunter’s stew).

Said I'm all lit up
I'm all lit up, baby

Merry Christmas, baby
Merry, merry, merry, merry

My blog offered the ability to clone myself---as often as a student might need, at their convenience, and in their time zone, as often as they like, when they need information.

A Better Place | Playing For Change




Playing for Change is a multimedia music project, created by the American producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson with his Timeless Media Group, that seeks to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. Playing For Change also created a separate non-profit organization called the Playing For Change Foundation, which builds music schools for children around the world.

In 2005, Mark Johnson was walking in Santa Monica, California, when he heard the voice of Roger Ridley (now deceased) singing “Stand By Me.”  Roger had so much soul and conviction in his voice, and Mark approached him about performing “Stand By Me” as a Song Around The World. Roger agreed, and when Mark returned with recording equipment and cameras he asked Roger, “With a voice like yours, why are you singing on the streets?” Roger replied, “Man I’m in the Joy business, I come out to be with the people.” Ever since that day, the Playing For Change crew has traveled the world recording and filming musicians, creating Songs Around The World, and building a global family.

Czym jest kremacja


Kremacja według Słownika Języka Polskiego to "palenie zwłok ludzkich, jako obrządek pogrzebowy".
Kremacja jest jednym z rodzajów pochówku zmarłego, polegającym na bezdymnym i bezzapachowym spaleniu ciała, w urządzeniu służącym do spopielania ciała ludzkiego (w piecu kremacyjnym). Kremacja to jeden z możliwych w Polsce sposobów na pochowanie zmarłego. W odróżnieniu od tradycyjnego złożenia ciała w trumnie do grobu, tu następuje pochowanie urny z prochami, które pozostały z procesu kremacyjnego.Proces spopielenia odbywa się najczęściej w trumnie kremacyjnej pozbawionej warstw farby i lakieru, ozdób i uchwytów. Jest on przeprowadzany w specjalnym piecu kremacyjnym. Kremacja odbywa się w temperaturze 750-1200 °C. Spalanie trwa ponad godzinę. Prócz popiołów wydziela się woda i dwutlenek węgla. Krematorium (łac. cremo = 'palę' cremare – spalić) – budynek, w którym przeprowadza się pośmiertne spalenie (kremację) zwłok przed pochówkiem.
Przebieg kremacji w szwedzkich piecach kremacyjnych (m.in. na podstawie strony firmy TABO)
W szwedzkim piecu kremacyjnym (TABO Incinerator AB) zainstalowanym, między innymi, we wrocławskiej spopielarni każda kremacja jest przeprowadzana oddzielnie. Procesem steruje komputer PLC, którego zadaniem jest takie przeprowadzenie procesu kremacji, aby był on nieszkodliwy dla środowiska naturalnego, bezpieczny dla operatorów oraz sprawny pod względem energetycznym i czasowym.
Obecnie wszyscy producenci urządzeń kremacyjnych korzystają z zastosowanego jeszcze w XIX w. patentu generatora cieplnego. Współczesne piece spełniają bardzo surowe wymagania unijnych norm ochrony środowiska dotyczące emisji dwutlenku siarki, tlenków azotu i węgla, metali, dioksyn, bifenyli oraz rtęci.
Szczątki pozostałe po kremacji są pulweryzowane w odpowiednim urządzeniu – zwanym w technologii TABO – kremulatorem, dzięki czemu do urny wsypywany jest jednolity drobny pył. Średnio po kremacji dorosłego człowieka, w zależności od wagi i płci, pozostaje od 3 do 5 litrów prochów.

Easter Traditions Around the World

http://spoonful.com/easter/easter-traditions-around-world
In Poland, Easter Monday is marked by an activity known as "Śmigus-Dyngus” where people pour water all over each other. Young children run around the streets with water guns and buckets. The water is symbolic of a cleansing and rebirth as the season transitions to spring. It’s easy to have your kids try out this custom at home with any number of water games, like Fill ‘er Up, or with some plain old-fashioned water play. Just make sure you have your towels ready!
