# Freemasonry

The Freemasons' main emblem
A Masonic Hall in Alabama
**Freemasonry** is a fraternal organization of men who believe in brotherhood and helping others. Its members are known as "Freemasons" (in full "Ancient Free and Accepted Masons") or simply as "Masons"). Freemasons also help one another in times of hardship. Freemasonry can be found all over the world in various forms, and about 6 million people are Freemasons.

The local groups in various countries are known as "lodges". At the state or national level are "Grand Lodges", which are independent of one another. "Regular" Freemasonry is only for men, but there are also co-educational Masonic lodges (and women-only lodges) that are not recognized as legitimate by the "regular" lodges. All of those lodges believe in "brotherly love, relief and truth". The lodges do work for charities such as running schools for orphaned children. There is a Royal Masonic Hospital, a home for old members and their families.

The word mason means a construction worker who works with stone. He is also called a "stonemason". Freemasonry grew from the groups (guilds) of stonemasons in the Middle Ages whose men built cathedrals and other large buildings. They were called freemasons because they were free; they were not servants who belonged to a rich lord, as many workers were in those days. Stonemasons often changed jobs and moved from one town to another. In that way, they were different from other craftsmen, who often worked in one place and had guilds in one town. The stonemasons tried to keep their skills secret so that only they knew how to do their job. That is probably why the Freemasons have secret handshakes and passwords and swear to keep them secret.

About 1650, Masons' guilds started to allow people who were not masons. In 1717, the first Grand Lodge, the Grand Lodge of England, was formed. It developed into the governing body of Freemasonry in England. In 1813, it merged with a rival and is now called the United Grand Lodge of England.

Freemasonry is controversial and has been opposed. The Anti-Masonic Party, which was mainly Lutherans was important in early American politics from 1827 to 1834. The Catholic Church opposes Freemasonry although Freemasonry itself does not ban Catholics. Political authorities also sometimes oppose it. Nazi Germany and Eastern Bloc nations outlawed freemasonry.

**eBay** is a website. It is a place for online auctions. Anybody can sell almost anything they want there. People can buy many things there as well.

People have to send what they sell themselves, usually using mail. Some items may be collected by the buyer such as items to large or heavy to post. Buyers can transfer the money in any way they want as long as the sellers accept payments made that way. A lot of people use PayPal to transfer the money. PayPal was owned by the same people as eBay until 2015. Margaret Whitman was the CEO of eBay from 1995 to 2008.

## History

eBay was started in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar. It was first called *Auctionweb*. The name 'eBay' came later when he tried to register a domain name for his planned name *EchoBay*. It was already taken so he shortened the name to 'eBay'.

## Statistics

Millions of items are bought on eBay every day. It is often very cheap to list an item on eBay. Total costs are usually below ordinary auction house costs. Many people look at others' items because they are interested in them.

# Remake

**Remake** means to create something again. It usually means a movie, television series or video game. A remake is similar to the original but usually changes some things. The changes could range from just more detailed art, to a whole new story. It may change the theme or target audience.

A remake may change some parts of the plot. For example, the 1968 movie *The Thomas Crown Affair* is centered on a bank robbery. The 1999 remake involves the theft of a valuable painting. A lot of times, a remake changes graphics and art.

## Live Action Remakes (animation)

Recently, a lot of big movie studios like Disney have been remaking successful animated movies into live action ones. They usually do this because it's an easy way to make money, though lots of people don't like how studios make remakes instead of new movies. Even though they're called live action remakes, they often use a lot of CGI. The idea of live action remakes was popularized by Disney after *The Lion King 2019* grossed over 5 million dollars. Usually, live action remakes also change the actors. Sometimes, they also make minor plot changes. They usually are very similar in scripts, music, sets, and plot.

The **Western** is a genre of fiction. Western movies often include cowboys. The culture shown in westerns came from Texas, because then people living in the cattle industry began to thrive on the plains of Texas. Westerns tell stories that are set mostly in the second half of the 19th century in the American Old West, hence the name. There are also stories about Western-type characters set in other times. These include *Junior Bonner* (set in the 1970s) and *The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada* (set in the 21st century).

The genre has been popular since the beginning of the movie industry. One of the very first commercial movies was the 1903 silent western, *The Great Train Robbery*.
