Dear Sir,
I assist the committee of the Medieval Society which organized the medieval fair last Sunday. We read your newspaper report and want to address some of the things you wrote about the fair. In your article you stated that the archery display was rather tedious and that visitors were unimpressed by the medieval dancing display, but we received emails telling us otherwise. Kids loved the archery display, and we received positive comments about the dancing. There were few parking spots, and we are truly sorry about that. The people that were able to get a parking spot enjoyed themselves. You also stated that there was a small number of demonstrations pertaining to traditional cookery and craft skills. Unfortunately we did not have enough space to host much of this, but what we did provide got a good response from the audience.
We would like to ask you to print another article about the medieval fair addressing these issues.
Regards
Marit C. S. Reinertsen

Nightmares
Dear Heidi
Lovely to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about your problem with nightmares latley. Reading your letter actually got me thinking about the subject.
When I was about seven years orl I watched the movie 'The Exorsist'. My friend had seen it several times, and it was one of her favorite movies. I did not share her opinion. That must have been one of my worst days, I was shaking.
After telling my parents about the movie, we agreed that I should sleep in their bed that night. When I went to bed I had a creepy feeling that someone would crawl over me. At last I was able to fall asleep, and the dream I had is inked into my memory. I'm in a totally white place, and suddenly massive white walls are coming from nowhere and accumulates to a house. Suddenly I woke up, I was sweaty and very scared.
I really don't know why I thought that dream was so scary, because it was a really nice house. Anyway, when I got your letter and read about the nightmares you have been having, I thought about the nighmare I had. I noticed different patterns in our dreams and I started to google mightmares. I found a case written by professor Erik Harald Schultz, and his theory is that there are three different kinds of anxious dream stages. The first one is anxiety dreams, the second one is nightmares and the third one is night terrors. Anxiety dreams are the stage as normal dreaming, you are then in the lightest sleep. The dreams you have in this stage can be very uncomfortable, but you don't wake up. Nightmares are the kind of dreams that wake you up, you will then be sitting with the feeling of fright and anxiety. Nightmares occur between teh deepest dream stage and the dreamless sleep. Night terror am I not going into since it is caused by a sleeping sickness.
As you said in the letter, you do ot wake up from your dreams, but that you sleep so restless that you do not get into the deepest sleep. It sounds to me that you are having anxiety dreams. Dreams like this can often be caused by stress. I can be caused by any kind of stress. This kind of dreaming is stressful by it self. I read that many find calmness in yoga and meditation.
I hope this can be a little helpful in your struggle.
Write back soon and let me know how things are going.
Best wishes
Marit

My secret ambition is concealed with a MAC brush
My secret ambition is to become a makeup artist. To play with makeup and be creative on peoples faces. Makeup has been a passion of mine since my teens, in that time I have learned a lot.
To become a makeup artist you need to be highly devoted to your goals, this is not a profession that is easy to find success.
Colors is a important part of makeup, you need to know about primary colors and secondary colors. In addition, to know about theory. You also need to be willing to try different colors together, even though they may not fit well together. Who knows? Maybe they actually do.
To become a good makeup artist you need to be a daredevil and be willing to try out things that nobody ever has before. You need to be able to step out of your comfort zone and dare to take chances.
I believe that I have these qualities to become a makeup artist. I enjoy experimenting with makeup and trying out different techniques.
I would love to do my passion for a living, if I got the chance I will work my hardest to accomplish my dream.

Synthetic elements, so functionable
A synthetic element is a chemical element that is handmade and will not occur naturally in nature. We have many different types of synthetic elements around us in our life, and the most common types are synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber and plastic.
About half of all fibers we use are synthetic fibers, and the four dominating synthetic fibers in the market are nylon, polyester,acrylic and polyolefin. A big part of clothes in the market have a certain percentage of synthetic fiber in it in addition to natural fiber. There are a lot of different kinds of synthetic fibers, but most of them have the same common properties; they are heat-sensitive, resistant to most chemicals, resistant to most insects, fungi, and rot, and they are flame resistant.
In world war ll, nylon was used for was equipment, such as parachutes because the fiber is so strong. The material was wanted by women for stockings, but it was too expensive. The middle class and the lower class women would draw a black line down the back of their legs so it would look like they were wearing nylon stockings. Now nylon stockings are more common and more available. Women can use nylon stockings when ever they please.
Synthetic rubber and plastic are also materials we see all around us in our everyday life, and some of us will maybe not realize how much of it we use everyday. Rubber is a very strong and elastic material, and it is water repellent. Rubber is often used for shoe soles and rubber boots because of it's way to resist water and its way to easily bend. Rubber doesn't breathe, so when you use rubber boots, you will easily feel sweaty and warm on your feet. Rubber is also used as tires because it is so strong. Plastic is typically seen as water bottles, containers and wrapping for food. Even CD's are made of plastic. Plastic comes in many variations, from oft to hard, from paper clips to spaceships. It has in time displaced many traditional materials such as; wood, stone, leather, paper, metal, glass and ceramic. These materials are not good for the environment, such as plastic that contains contains nurdles, which are raw materials that all plastics are made of. They are tiny pre-plastic pellets that kill large numbers of fish and birds that mistake them for food.
This all leads me to the conclusion that synthetic materials are such a big part of the 21st century that we will have a hard time to put it aside and not use it in the future. There will be invented a material that is environmentally friendly and serves the same abilities. Let's hope so.
