<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">A maypole is a tall
wooden pole erected as a part of various European folk festivals, around which
a maypole dance often takes place. In
some cases the maypole is a permanent feature that is only utilised during the
festival, although in other cases it is erected specifically for the purpose
before being taken down again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #EFF1CA; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Primarily found
within the nations of Germanic Europe and the neighbouring areas which they
have influenced, its origins remain unknown, although it has been speculated
that it originally had some importance in the Germanic paganism of Iron Age and
early Medieval cultures, and that the tradition survived Christianisation,
albeit losing any original meaning that it had. It has been a recorded practice
in many parts of Europe throughout the Medieval and Early Modern periods,
although it became less popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the
tradition is still observed in some parts of Europe and among European
communities in North America.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #EFF1CA; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In Britain the
maypole was found primarily in England and in areas of Scotland and Wales which
were under English influence. However, the earliest recorded evidence comes
from a Welsh poem written by Gryffydd ap Adda ap Dafydd in the mid-14th
century, in which he described how people used a tall birch pole at Llanidloes,
central Wales. Literary evidence for maypole use across much of Britain
increases in later decades, and "by the period 1350-1400 the custom was
well established across southern Britain, in town and country and in both
Welsh-speaking and English-speaking areas."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a Jewish family in Yuzovka (now Donetsk, Ukraine) and was obsessed with
photography since childhood, having built his first childhood camera with his
grandmother's eyeglasses. He started working with the Soviet press agency TASS
at the age of nineteen as a photographer.
His father and three of his four sisters were murdered by the Nazis
during the war.</span></b></div>

persuaded his uncle to create a large Soviet flag after seeing Joe Rosenthal's
photo of the flag raising at Iwo Jima while the Soviet army closed in on Berlin
and took it with him to Berlin for the Reichstag shot. After the War Khaldei continued to
photograph, now working as a freelance photographer for Soviet newspapers, and
focused on capturing scenes of everyday life. Khaldei's international fame
dates from the 1990s, when exhibitions of his photographs began to be held in
the West. This photo is entitled “Rest”.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

In 1865 she graduated from the school with the Large Silver Medal. She married a prominent Russian-Hungarian violinist Ludwig Boehm, professor of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. Elisabeth painted many watercolors, illustrated children books of the Folk Library series. For her silhouettes, etchings and works of glass she received medals at the World Fairs in Chicago of 1893, Paris of 1900, Munich of 1902 and Milan of 1906 (gold medal). She is mostly known as one of the most prominent Russian creators of postcards. She painted more than 350 postcards creating a recognisable style that depicts children's faces and silhouettes.<br />

4155 - from Katya and her Mum, Marina, in Ukraine. This is Pechkin the mailman based on the book book 'Uncle Fedya, His Dog, and His Cat' by Eduard Uspensky. Uncle Fedya or Uncle Fyodor is a very independent six year old city boy, "a boy on his own". After his mother forbids him from keeping his talking cat Matroskin, Uncle Fyodor runs away from home to live on his own. He and his friends arrive at the village Prostokvashino, where a house is provided for them. There is a lot of extra space in the house, and therefore the local dog Sharik was called to fill it; he joined them cheerfully and amicably. Uncle Fyodor's parents became very agitated at the loss of their son, and even put out a missing persons notice in the paper … Such a notice couldn't pass the nose of the extremely curious mail carrier Pechkin, who right then and there declared his hopes to earn a reward for the boy's safe return — a new bicycle.<br />

Cats are more like older children. So long as you provide them with food, clean up after them and give a space of their own to snooze they are usually content. <br />
