THE LEGEND OF GELERT

This story is about a prince called Llywelyn. He liked hunting and he had many hunting dogs, but his favourite dog was Gelert. He had also a son, the mother of the baby died when he was born, so Llywelyn promised her to protect him. A day he didn't find Gelert and he went hunting, he left the baby in the bedroom near the fire and when he arrived home he found Gelert's head and the floor covered with blood. He thought that Gelert killed his son, so he killed the dog. After he heard the cries of the baby, he was alive, and near him there was a dead wolf. Llywelyn was struck with remorse and built a grave near the river.

BOB MARLEY
  
Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican reggae singer, songwriter, musician, and guitarist who achieved international fame. Starting out in 1963 with the group The Wailers, he forged a distinctive songwriting and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide. The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry.

 After the Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career upon his relocation to England that culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977, which established his worldwide reputation and produced his status as one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records. In 1978 he released the album Kaya, which included the hit singles "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul".
 
Diagnosed with a type of malignant melanoma in 1977, Marley died on 11 May 1981 in Miami at the age of 36. He was a committed Rastafari who infused his music with a sense of spirituality. He is considered one of the most influential musicians of all time and credited with popularizing reggae music around the world.

MY VOKI

 THE ART OF RECYCLING

The Italians have played an important role in the New York art scene for many years. Leo Castelli opened to Paris an art gallery. When the Nazist invaded Paris, Castelli moved to New York. He died in 1999, but the Italian connection lives on. Ronaldo Politi is an Italian artist in New York, although his world is very different. He is a "Trash Artist", he takes trash from the street and transforms into art. He and his friends used to occupy abandoned buildings and start living there. He adds that they always cleared out the trash and they often tried to salvage it and use it for something else. His life and his art were one and the same. Thirty years ago people weren't very interested in the concept of recycling, but things are very different today. He particularly enjoys collecting and working with plastic bottle caps. Politi belongs to a network called "Trash Warship", which was founded in 2000.
