Pink Stinks.

In 50s the color pink was devoted to male children because it is derivative to red, a strong, lively, aggressive color typical of the male character while the blue, quiet and tranquility color, was for females.
Now pink is a color only for girls. Pink Stinks means "il rosa puzza" it is a campeign create of two sister Emma and Aby Moore. They have seen that pink has the absolute monopoly on females and they tried to stop this belief but they didn't succeed.

Zorbing.

The colour Green..!

My favourite colour is Green.

It ralates to balance and harmony. It is the great balancer of the hearth and emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and heart. Green is the color of spring, nature and hope but also of possession and envy. In Ireland the color green is very important because it is the national colour associated with good luck and Saint Patrick's Day.

First Facebook, then Twitter and now Pinterest.
Pinterest is one of the world's most popular social networks. It's a virtual Pinboard where the people use a pin and so they "pin" the notes and photos to the board. The word "Pinterest" ia a combination of "pin" and "interest". Pinterest's mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the things they find interesting". As Facebook and other popular social networs, you can "Like" photos. The difference whit Pinterest is that you use the "Pin It" button.

The History of Surnames...!!!

For a long time people didn't have family names. People have first name only. This custom slowly change, the Romans introduced a combination of personal and family names. They usually used three names "Prenomen, Nomen and Cognomen". In England people started to use surnames in 13 centuries. Many family names came from jobs like Baker, Cook, Carpenter, Miller show an occupation. People used places for family names like River, Hill are some examples. Other surnames come from personal names, for example Stevenson, Richardason. Lots of Gaelic names are preceded by MC or O' like O'Brien, some surnames from Nicknames.
