Medieval castle at the mere mention of which every educated person is created in the imagination of a familiar pattern, and every tolerated by the idea in the era of tournaments and the Crusades, has its own history. The castle with its famous toiletries - lift bridges, towers and battlements - appeared not at once. Scientists, researchers, dedicating his work on the origin and development of the castle structures, noted several times in this story, of which the most interesting is the time of the earliest: to the extent the initial locks are not like castles subsequent time, But with all the diversity that exists between them, it is easy to find, and similar features, it is easy in the original castle to see hints of later constructions. The ability to find these initial forms and reports question the interest of which we have just spoken.
The devastating raids of the enemy encouraged to build such fortifications, which could serve as a reliable shelter. First castles was the earthen trenches more or less extensive in size, surrounded by a moat and topped by a wooden palisade. As such, they resembled the Roman camp, and this similarity, of course, was not mere coincidence; there is no doubt that these first fortifications were organized on the model of the Roman camps. In the center of the last rose tent commander, or the courtyard of the Praetorium (praetorium), and in the middle of the space, semiquavers castle shaft, climbed natural or, for the most part, artificial earth rise conical shape {la motte). Usually this nassi was built a wooden structure, the door of which was at the top of the mound. Inside the mound was arranged progress in the dungeon with a well. Thus, to get in this wooden structure could only be climbing on the mound. For the convenience of the inhabitants were organized something like a wooden platform, running on props; in case of need it is easily understood, making the enemy who had penetrated into the dwelling itself, met serious obstacle. After mirovaniya danger disassembled parts as easily cited in the previous state. If we, without going into the details, let us imagine only the big picture, which, as we previously mentioned, arises in the mind of any educated person at the mere mention of the castle, if we this General picture is comparable with just described original castle, with all the diversity we both without much exertion will find and common features.
A significant part of the medieval knight's castle is obvious, this unpretentious the construction of the house on earthen mounds corresponds to the main castle tower, demountable descent - draw-bridge, shaft and a palisade - toothed wall
Andy Wallace has invited me to dinner while I interview him, so I meet him at eight o'clock, not at some charming local cafe or new Japanese sushi bar, but at the back of the local supermarket beside the rubbish bins. 'Have a tuna sandwich - they look delicious. And here's some almond croissants. Fantastic' Andy is a 'freegan' - pronounced /fri:gan/. He can perfectly well afford to buy food, but he chooses not to as a protest against our shamefully wasteful consumer society. 'This food is perfectly good and could have fed at least thirty people. According to a recent government survey, up to a third of the food we buy is thrown away, which in the UK amounts to a staggering £420 of wasted food per adult per year. Lord Haskins, the government's food and farming adviser, said, 'We are very greedy when we go and shop. Our eyes are bigger than our stomachs in homes and in restaurants.' However, according to Andy, the government itself is simply not doing enough in the first place to combat this incredible waste.The food redistribution charity, 'Fareshare', specialises in collecting high-quality food before it is past its sell-by date, and taking it to the many charities who feed our country's poor and vulnerable. If we were able to redistribute as muc food as they do in the states, we could give out at least 50,000 tonnes of free food a year. If only our governmentsupported these food redistribution charities, along with forcing our food businesses to cooperate, then it would be possible. Freegans feel strongly that our wasteful consumerist culture with all its endless producing, packaging, buying and binning, is entirely to blame for the destruction of the planet. 'I just never buy food,' he explains. For many people, Freeganism will be a step too far, but it serves to highlight the shameful waste of millions of tons of food every year in the UK.
