Shopping Malls

I think I may be allergic to shopping malls. I am not sure if my condition has ever been recorded officially by medical science but I am sure there are who suffer as I do.

All I have to do is walk inside one of these awful places and within minutes the artificial “day light” from a thousand “soft” lights to give me a headache.

Then there is the piped music which tunes in and out. endlessly from shop to shop, my brain slowly turns into a large vegetable.

Christmas is in July and Valentines’ day is in October in these unreal labyrinths. A Christmas gift, paid for in August seems wrong to.

And surely no one can believe signs that promise the sale

Ever virtually every day of the year.

Shopping should be exciting in my opinion with fresh sites and beautiful goods to buy. Instead it feels much to being in a

Strange parallel universe.

Worst still is trying to leave. I can never find my way out to fresh air and daylight. I wonder if some poor souls remain down there for weeks on end.

Church Calendar

Almost everyone uses calendars. The most common use actually is to mark the passing days and seasons. Quite a few people also mark them as or use them to remember birthdays, appointments or other important occasions.

The same is true of calendars based on religious experience and religions have annual festivals on different dates, to remember those things that are most important to them.

Those of Jewish Faith follow events that revolve around the Exodus. This was the journey of the Israelites out of Egypt to the new land that they God had promised them.

Although the Christian Church has many different “branches”, most of them have calendars based on the life and ministry of Jesus. The Calendar helps believers to remember throughout the year the most important aspects of faith.

In the UK, the festivals of the Christian Church are Christmas and Easter. The most popular by far is Christmas and huge numbers visit Church on Dec24th (Christmas Eve) each year to sing carols and remember the birth of Jesus.

Some dates in the Church are fixed — others vary. The date for Easter, for example, typically between late March and late

April (Western Christianity) and early April to early May (Eastern Orthodox). The date is set by a Iunisolar calendar, following the cycle of the moon.

As a congregation moves through the church calendar, events in an organized way with the opportunity to talk about different faith confessions. This also helps children to visualise and learn about their religion, history and culture.

Vitus Jonassen Bering

Weather in the UK

The UK lies on a boundary between warm tropical air and cold polar air. Large temperature variations create instability and this is the major reason for the UK’s often unsettled weather. In the UK many types of weather can in a single day.

Regional climates in the UK are influenced by latitude and the Atlantic Ocean. The western regions, being closest to the Ocean, are the mildest, wettest and parts of the country.

Eastern areas are generally drier, cooler, and windy but subject to greater temperature variations. Northern areas are cooler, wetter and have a smaller temperature range than southern areas.

The UK is a relatively small landmass with an awful lot of weather! Officially it “enjoys” a climate of mixed status — Oceanic, Temperate and Temperate Maritime. Is it any wonder that the British enjoy the weather?

Can you imagine a February afternoon in Novisibirsk with people discussing over tea whether there sunshine or rain during

The evening? A continental climate is generally very predictable.

Everybody in the UK about Siberian winters. So much so that many wrongly believe that there is no such thing as a Siberian Summer.

The idea of “sunbathing” and Siberia” in the same sentence is nonsense to them! Then again, many Russians seem to believe the myth that the UK is always shrouded in rain and fog. Possibly Dickens is to blame for this delusion! But it is true that the British like talking about the weather. Well — at least we do have something to talk about.

The Terrible Storm

The wind tore at the sails as the ship shook on waves like mountains. I struggled along the deck to my cabin.

The deck by icy sea water making it slippery and I slid across the deck several times as I searched for the door.

It was particularly dangerous because the deck rails hadn’t been fitted and locked properly and the storm had shaken them loose. Finally I reached the door, which was mysteriously tied open, and into a chair facing Jim.

A swaying lantern — a type of bright lamp often in

Rough weather — was throwing light and shadow around the small cabin.

It was then that I noticed that the normally happy and cheerful Jim was stricken with panic. He suddenly hold of me. He did look frightened!

For a few moments, neither of spoke. We didn’t need

Dr Who

“Dr Who” is the longest running science fiction TV show in the world. It is broadcast in 42 countries around the world, Russia, but it is in the UK that it has made the biggest impact.

The show in a virtually unbroken run since 1963 and has had a clear impact on British Culture, social history and fashion.

Although the show is called “Dr Who” the hero

Simply as “The Doctor”. He (there has never been a lady doctor) is a travelling “Time Lord” who constantly rescues planet earth from alien attack.

So far there have been 11 Doctors and each has made an impact on British style and fashion. Frock coats and cravats, stylish hats and over long scarves by Time Lords and copied by teenagers.

The Doctors have always been accompanied by glamorous young assistants some of who also made their mark on fashion.

Some of the Doctors’ became equally famous — especially the Daleks: alien organisms from the planet Skoro that live inside a robot like casing.

The show, arguably, has made a contribution to the English language than any other and has been colourful, inventive and dramatic for over five decades.

Famous British?

A recent international survey on the most important British people of all time yielded some interesting results. It turns out that three of the top ten Brits probably never even FAMOUS

Existed! This result has rather disappointed some.

They think it a shame that the people of the world have recognised as real, historical characters, three fictional characters as being among nation’s top ten most well — WE

Known and influential.

So who are these three, who denied Henry VIII and David

Beckham a top 10 place? Who over John Lennon and STEP Guy Fawkes in world esteem? Which 3 stand head and shoulders in fame above Margaret Thatcher and Queen Victoria?

Nottingham exists and so does Sherwood Forest but, People of the World, please understand that Mr R. Hood never existed! Of course there are stories and legends of various robber HERO but the story of Robin Hood is as historically accurate as that of Father Christmas.

Finally who could be so important, in world opinion, to HOLD in fame above Sir Issac Newton and Mr Bean (sorry — Rowan Atkinson)? The answer of course is that romantic, sword twirling, nation saving monarch with a round table — King Arthur.

You could of course read lots of books that argue for and against King Arthur. Or you could take my word for it — he never existed! Certainly he a top ten place. Neither in my NOT DESERVE opinion does Princess Diana, who is also in the top 10.

In my opinion it is similar to the world on the all time VOTE

Most famous Americans and the list including Mickey Mouse, Superman and Indiana Jones! If it did, I wonder if the American people would be pleased with the result.

Our school used to have a ritual day of torture, embarrassment and humiliation for the less athletic pupils at the school. It Sports Day.

Traditionally we were treated to this day of horrors two days before the end of the school year. Even now I remember well the awful practice afternoons up to this inglorious spectacle!

And indeed there were many spectators: parents, teachers and classmates were all there to cheer and applaud the, fastest and most successful athletes in the school.

For useless athletes like me, these were the worst days of our school.

However, I eventually developed a strategy that made it a little. I took up throwing the hammer. The Hammer throw demanded little energy. A fast spin and then letting the thing go at the right moment (and hopefully not killing any innocent spectator) was all that was needed.

Amazingly I quite good at it. At least I was no longer

The poor, red faced fool coming in last on the race track!

Finally, on my last Sports Day — two days before my last ever school day — I came in the Hammer Throw, stood on a

Podium and was presented with a bronze medal!

1. Lucky escape

2. Long journey

3. Good way to meet

4. Growing in popularity

5. Ordering in

6. Fast food is unhealthy

7. A new way to buy

8. Too much choice

A. When
you are tired and don’t want to cook, just pick up the phone. Restaurants are
expensive and take some time and effort to reach if you don’t live in the
centre of town. Ordering food for home delivery is cheap and these days there
is a huge choice. Indian and Chinese are the most popular but I prefer to get
in a pizza.

B. A
school group on a skiing holiday to Italy narrowly avoided disaster when their
coach left the road and fell eighty meters into a valley. Trees slowed down the
falling coach and because of the fresh new snow the vehicle landed quite
softly. Amazingly no one was injured.

C. A
teenager from London is making news around the world. On his recent holiday in
Australia he set off without his mobile phone. Experts are amazed that he is
still alive after walking for fourteen days, surviving extreme temperatures and
living off the land. However, a lot of Australians are unhappy with him. The
rescue cost is estimated at more than 100,000 dollars.

D. You
can buy almost anything, new or second hand, on the internet. On one site you
can offer the price you want to pay for something. Whoever offers the highest
price can buy that item. Recently I made the highest offer for a nearly new
pair of skis. However, I only paid half of what they would have cost new in a
shop.

E. Making
new friends on the internet makes so much sense. You can see someone’s photo
and read if they share your interests and opinions. The important thing is you
can spend time getting to know people who are attractive to you and looking for
the same things in life that you are. Still, for personal safety, most sites
recommend that in person you meet initially in a public place like a cafe or a
gallery.

F. I like
eating out but some restaurants have huge menus. And usually every item sounds
mouth watering. The trouble is I like to read about everything on offer and
sometimes waiters wait for me rather than on me! The other issue is how they
can offer so much whilst maintaining quality? I’d rather take one of five
options knowing that each one was brilliant.

G.
“Facebook” is a social networking website that has 250 million members and
despite lots of criticism by employers, governments and media, continues to
attract thousands of new users daily. In spite of claims of concerns about
privacy, safety and wasting time at work, “Facebook” is one of the most rapidly
establishing phenomena of recent years.

Beaches of Portugal 

Covering more than 850
km, the Portuguese coast boasts such a large number of fine, white sandy
beaches that it is almost impossible to keep count. All bathed by the Atlantic
Ocean and all different, their beauty is hard to describe, so there is nothing better

12. The
first similarity between the narrator’s school and Hogwarts is that both
schools are situated

1) far from pupils’
homes.

2) in an unusual school
building.

3) not far from London.

4) near a village.

Kimbolton School

I went to school in a
large village called Kimbolton in the county of Cambridgeshire. In recent years
I have been reminded of my time there by, strangely enough, the Harry Potter
books by J.K. Rowling. The first and most obvious reason is that Kimbolton is a
castle school; just as Hogwarts is the castle school for Harry and his friends.

Hogwarts is of course
filled with ghosts, such as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington — better known as
Nearly Headless Nick: But Kimbolton also has a reputation for being haunted and
in fact lays claim to a very famous ghost. This is Katherine of Aragon — the
first wife of Henry VIII. She was sent there in April 1534 after refusing to
accept the legality of Henry’s divorce proceedings. When I arrived there as a
first year in September 1971,1 was told that her ghost was often seen — but
only from the knees upwards. This, I was told, was because she walked on the
original rather than the later modern floors. I am ashamed to confess that at
times we set up “ghostly” tricks to scare our friends. These usually involved
almost invisible fishing lines being used to “mysteriously” open and close
cupboards or move chairs.

There are other
comparisons to be made however. In Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School there are
four “houses”; Gryfinndor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and the dark house, Slytherin.
The four houses being named after famous headmasters of Hogwarts’ past. At
Kimbolton we also had four houses named for the same reason. They were called
Ingram’s, Bailey’s, Dawson’s and Gibbard’s. As I recall there were no sinister
connotations with any house although probably the Slytherin equivalent was
Gibbard’s. At the time Gibbard’s was the house for “day boys” who lived at home
and travelled to school each day. The other houses were for the “borders” that
lived in the castle. The dayboys were nicknamed “day bugs” and the residents
were called “border bugs”. I was a day bug.

There were common rooms
and detentions which I suppose all schools still have. But few schools, like
Kimbolton, have narrow, long corridors lined with portraits whose eyes seem to
follow you round! Mind you — none of our paintings spoke to us as they
sometimes do at Hogwarts! Kimbolton also has a fantastic staircase in the
castle and huge murals by the Italian Rococo painter Pellegrini.

Apart from the castle,
ghosts and houses there were other comparisons to Hogwarts. The teachers (who
were called masters) also wore black gowns and addressed us only by our
surnames. We pupils had to wear suits and ties to school and actually were not
allowed to take our jackets off unless the day was exceptionally hot. But there
were some fairly important differences too.

 Firstly
Kimbolton, at the time I was there, was a school only for boys. It has changed
since, but then we had no Hermione Grangers to fight against evil with. We
played football and cricket rather than Quidditch and took ‘O’ Levels rather
than OWLS. That is “Ordinary” Level exams rather than “Ordinary Wizarding
Levels”. But still, looking back on it all, I have to say that I, at least,
thought the place was rather magical.

13. Students
in Kimbolton School believed that

1) Katherine of Aragon
became a ghost as Henry VIII murdered her.

2) the ghost could be
scared by moving furniture with a fishing line.

3) the ghost regularly
appeared in the castle at midnight.

4) the ghost could be
seen partially, if at all.

14. Kimbolton
School had four houses that

1) got their names as in
Hogwarts.

2) selected students
similarly to Hogwarts.

3) had different
reputation as at Hogwarts.

4) had the same names as
houses at Hogwarts.

15. The
house the narrator belonged to

1) was the privileged
one.

2) had an evil
reputation.

3) had one particular
difference.

4) was similar to other
houses.

16. The
narrator thinks Kimbolton was not like other schools as it had

1) a special system of
punishments.

2) a very special kind
of decor.

3) common rooms.

4) several houses.

17. Both
teachers and students in the narrator’s school

1) had to follow a
certain dress code.

2) were dressed in
school uniform.

3) were addressed by
their surnames.

4) could be compared to
the ones in Hogwarts.

18. According
to the narrator, Kimbolton was unlike Hogwarts because it

1) had a different exam
system.

2) had a different kind
of magic.

3) used to be a school
for boys.

4) had recently become a
school for boys.

A trip to Thailand

I have always been

imagine my delight when my father 32 ______ me that he was taking us on a
holiday to Bangkok and from there to visit a remote tribe that lives about 200
kilometers north of the capital city. As my father explained, the tribe lives
an isolated life and the members are cut 33 ______ from the rest of the world
in terms of their unique and even weird cultural practices.

During our trip I have
noticed that the Thai people are very friendly and their greetings are very 34
______ to the Indians’. For example, when they meet you they bring their palms
together in a prayer-like position and bend their bodies a little as a way of
welcoming and acknowledging you. It would definitely 35 ______ you feel as an
honored guest. At first, I was rather 36 ______ by these greeting traditions
which seemed so unusual and respectful to me. Surprisingly, soon I got used to
doing that myself and 37 ______ this procedure during my entire trip to Thailand.
We spent only two fantastic days in Bangkok before heading 38 ______ the remote
village which was going to be the most exciting time of our lives, dad
promised. We were excited and could not wait seeing everything with our own
eyes!

and there are some optional field trips to
places such as Six

Flags and the Getty Museum. Transportation
is available from

the Hollywood/Burbank Airport on the first
and last days;

reservations are required.

OUR TAKE: This is a really useful program
for the ambitious art

student. Many opportunities are opened to a
student after

spending only four weeks at this camp. It
would be beneficial

for any art student.

OUR RECOMMENDATION: The program requires a
lot of time

and energy on your child’s part. Students
are accepted based

on their talent and creativity, so it’s
pretty competitive. Before

applying, make sure your kid knows the
set-up of this

camp and is willing to devote a large amount
of time to his or

her art.
