Inside Prince Charles' World As He Quietly Takes Charge
Britain's future king has used a long apprenticeship to build a charitable empire
The gardens sport a coronet of dew under a rare Scottish sun, but Prince Charles remains indoors, doing what the heir to the thrones of the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Jamaica and 12 other Commonwealth realms has always done — his duty. He's a champion at enduring windy speeches, toes scrunched in his shoes to keep awake. But this particular duty lies closer to his soul: he's teaching his firstborn to wield a sword. Prince William needs to master the key move of granting knighthoods, laying a blade on the shoulders of recipients, ideally without inflicting injury. So on Sept. 26, Charles interrupts a family visit at his Scottish residence Birkhall with his son, wife Camilla, daughter-in-law Kate and the youngest Windsor, baby George, to stage a dress rehearsal.
His grandson is "what this is all about," says Prince Charles, 64, sitting down with TIME later that day to discuss his hopes — and profound concerns — for the future. For George, third in line to the throne, that future looks secure enough, a parade of pomp and swords. Britain's monarchy emerged from 2013's mass testing of U.K. public opinion, the British Social Attitudes survey, as the only institution to gain in popularity, while others slumped. It did so because it stands for consistency — its opponents would say, for resistance to change — in a world of relentless transformation.
The Prince's own popularity is questionable. Sheltered by his position and exposed by it, the Prince appears a mass of contradictions, engaged yet aloof, indulged and deprived, a radical at the pinnacle of Britain's sclerotic establishment, surrounded by people but often profoundly alone. Yet the strangulated diction of the uppermost crust — even members of his inner circle can't resist imitating him — disguises a real magnetism.

PRONOMES - PRONOUNS
Pronome é a classe de palavras que acompanha ou substitui um substantivo ou um outro pronome, indicando sua posição em relação às pessoas do discurso ou mesmo situando-o no espaço e no tempo. Os pronomes nos ajudam a evitar repetições desnecessárias na fala e na escrita. São divididos em:
Pronomes Pessoais - Personal Pronouns
Os Pronomes Pessoais referem-se a alguma pessoa, lugar ou objeto específico e são subdivididos em Pronomes Pessoais do Caso Reto (Sujeito) - Subject Pronouns e Pronomes Pessoais do Caso Oblíquo (Objeto) - Object Pronouns.

Ben Affleck Admits He Was ‘Reluctant’ to Play Batman

In an interview with the website 411 Mania, Ben Affleck said he was hesitant to don the mask (and gravelly voice) of the Caped  Crusader in the reboot of the Batman franchise (announced only one year after the last Christopher Nolan-directed Batman film).
“Initially, I was reluctant, as I felt I didn’t fit the traditional mold,” said Affleck. “But once [director] Zack [Snyder] showed me the concept, and that it would be both different form the great movies that Chris [Nolan] and Christian [Bale] made, but still in keeping with tradition, I was excited.”
Warner Brothers CEO Kevin Tsujihara recently described the new version of Batman as “tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile.”
Batman fans took to Twitter to complain about Affleck as Batman after his casting was announced, listing his lackluster performance as Daredevil among other concerns.

History of Halloween

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.  The word Halloween is a shortening of All Hallows' Evening also known as Hallowe'en or All Hallows' Eve.

Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand.
 

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced "sah-win").
The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

The festival would frequently involve bonfires. It is believed that the fires attracted insects to the area which attracted bats to the area. These are additional attributes of the history of Halloween.
Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.
Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as confectionery with the question, "Trick or treat?" The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner or his property if no treat is given. Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
The history of Halloween has evolved.  The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and due to increased American cultural influence in recent years, imported through exposure to US television and other media, trick-or-treating has started to occur among children in many parts of Europe, and in the Saudi Aramco camps of Dhahran, Akaria compounds and Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia. The most significant growth and resistance is in the United Kingdom, where the police have threatened to prosecute parents who allow their children to carry out the "trick" element. In continental Europe, where the commerce-driven importation of Halloween is seen with more skepticism, numerous destructive or illegal "tricks" and police warnings have further raised suspicion about this game and Halloween in general.
In Ohio, Iowa, and Massachusetts, the night designated for Trick-or-treating is often referred to as Beggars Night.
