About the film
Set in London, Amsterdam is a love story about two women in their fifties; Jean and Juliette. Former flames, they meet today for the first time in thirty years when Juliette visits Jean from Paris. For the first time, they face each other and their past; a past which holds an event that changed the shape of both their lives and prevented them from reuniting until now.
Romantic, intelligent, funny, sexy and provocative, the two women go on a journey over 48 hours that takes them along their former London haunts, encounters with friends old and new, leading them to confront, embrace and ultimately let go of their past.
From the director
"Amsterdam is an intimate portrait of an unresolved relationship between two women in their fifties. This story taps into something that I feel needs urgently to be expressed, to be centralised in film; that is the voice of the older woman and her sexuality. The mise en scène is London's Little Venice and against this watery beauty, our main characters take a journey to unearth their hopes and desires, to find the courage to speak their truth. With a free-wheeling spirit, with intelligence, humour and mischief and acknowledging such influences as Jean Luc Godard's, À Bout De Souffle and Roger Michell's Venus for their subtle anarchy, this film will enchant, amuse and resonate with anyone who longs to be truly honest about who they are and whom they love."

IWSG: Heading to the Lake House
Welcome to this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group where, thanks to the genius of Alex J. Cavanaugh, writers all over the world-wide web gather to share their insecurities and triumphs. If you want to join us, click the linky and add your name to the list of some of the nicest writers on the web!
For this month's post I have a question for my fellow writers. As it's summertime all over the Northern Hemisphere, I'm watching people pack up their swimsuits and head to the lake house, where they will sit under shady oak trees sipping lemonade and ruminate on the folly of the daily grind.
I've begun to wonder.
When everywhere the gainfully employed are kicking off their sneakers and running barefoot in the lawn, when do writers get a vacation? When will I feel entitled to set aside my storytelling wizard hat and turn into a normal human being for a spell?
Of course there are those who would mock me and say that sitting in front of a computer screen transcribing daydreams isn't work at all. And, in that sense, they're right. I do enjoy almost every single minute of my writing adventures. Even thinking about stopping makes me sad, and as Stephen King so aptly describes his compulsion to write in On Writing:
"… when I'm not working, I'm not working at all, although in those periods of full stop I usually feel at loose ends with myself and have trouble sleeping. For me, not writing is the real work." (On Writing pages 148-149)
And yet, in contrast, he writes, about writing workshops, where entire days are devoted to writing one's masterpiece:
" … the larger the work looms in my day—the more it seems like an I hafta instead of just an I wanna—the more problematic it can become." (On Writing page 235)
I think my issue lies somewhere in between these extremes: There is just so darn much I wanna do, that it's starting to feel like I hafta.
I just crossed over 50k words on my latest WIP and that's going gangbusters. If I could just focus on that I would be a happy camper. But I'm also more than halfway through posting my revised novel chapters at Critique Circle, and I'd really like to get through the whole book there. I'd love to devote more attention to all the courses at the Holly Lisle Boot Camps I haven't explored yet. And though I know I don't post nearly enough here at A Scenic Route, I've even thought about declaring a blog hiatus.
I know. Blasphemy!
So, Insecure Writers, how do you decide when it's time for a vacation? Is there a way to cut back and still be happy with one's progress?
And would you guys really desert me if I missed a whole month of posting?

I take vacations whenever I'm at a point where I can't see the next part. Rarely do I take them in between projects. But I often end up with a break somewhere in Act II. Go figure. As for blog hiatus, I take those the second I realize I'm falling behind or I have things i'm not allowed to talk about.
August 7, 2013 4:01 pm
I am right in the Hafta camp. It seems like the harder I work the more there is to do. Revising, editing, drawing maps, working with artist, figuring out self-pubbing, writing new first draft, and then my wife actually wants me to do something else — is she insane 🙂 Seriously, there is just not enough time to do what has to be done and having down time just feels like I am be negligent. The only time, recently, that I was able to get away from all of it was when I went out of the country on vacation and promised my wife I wouldn't take my laptop (though on the plane there and back I did pull out my legal pad and make notes). We were gone for two weeks and by the second week I was doing okay. But it can get pretty expensive having to go out of country anytime I want to become a normal human being 😦
Oh well, I guess I am stuck!
August 7, 2013 5:51 pm
Yes we would miss you!
I'm taking a vacation tomorrow. Just a couple days, mostly unplugged (not completely – can't do that) and I know it will be good for me. If we go and go, even if it's writing, eventually we burn out.
It sounds like you are doing everything possible – and then some!
August 7, 2013 9:16 pm
Because I've been kept from my WIP, writing (in perfect peace and quiet, for hours at a time) would BE a vacation. 😛
Great post! 🙂

Hey Kirsten,
You know I for one (among MANY) would miss your wise words, and not having read the above comments, all I would say is take a blog vacation to concentrate on your WIP and revisions. I know I've done that – and having focused on WIP – was able to come back and have fun again (I consider my blog to be my "treat" writing.)
I think the main thing is to focus on the writing that can help move your career forward – especially if you only have limited writing hours per day.
August 8, 2013 12:55 am
I read On Writing a long time ago… might have to pull it out and read it again.. so many great things in there. Love this post.
August 11, 2013 1:00 pm
Please forgive me as I only pop in once a month! That for me is the hardest part. Visiting all my bloggy buddies. The IWSG post day (week for me!) is the easiest for me to remember. I usually spend Wed. through Sun. popping in on folks.
Vacations are wonderful. I'm headed out on Thursday to New Mexico for an extended girl's weekend. Can't wait! As for blog breaks. I break when I need to. I put my family, work, my writing and then me first. If I can pull together a blog or two a week, I'm doing good. 🙂
I love King's book. I've read it several times, and it sits on my computer desk, as a constant reminder.
If you take a break, I don't think anyone would desert you. But you may have to pop in over at my place and kick me in the butt to let me know you're back. 😀
August 12, 2013 6:23 pm
It's funny, because even when we're not writing, we're thinking about writing. As a matter of fact, that's when stuff comes to me and I rush to scribble down strange notes. We must all take a brain break from time to time, for sure. I hope you're enjoying your summer!
August 29, 2013 12:29 pm
I've never tried Scrivener, but it looks amazing from your pics. I multi-task in my writing. I think I'd get a lot more done if I stuck to one project at a time though.
August 29, 2013 12:30 pm
LOL, I was trying to leave a comment on your newest post, and somehow, it ended up here!!!

Mario Lanza, the spectacular voice and pride of Little Italy.
A descendent of Abruzzi, Mario Lanza (1921-1959) was born Alfred Cocozza in Philadelphia's Little Italy. His father, a disabled veteran, and his mother, a seamstress, were so enamored of him that they overly indulged him thereby neglecting to instill a sense of self-discipline. As a youngster Mario displayed a penchant for singing, however, he quit school and worked for a time as a piano mover. Mario took some formal lessons with accomplished and noted professionals including Serge Koussevitsky whom he astonished. He equally impressed The New York Times music critic, who upon hearing him sing at a festival in 1942, when Lanza was only 21, proclaimed him one of the finest tenors of the day. Lanza's entrance into the Army in World War II not only interrupted his career, but also demonstrated a vulnerability -- his inability to adjust to changing circumstances leading to bouts of depression and rapid weight gains that would mark his later career. Because of his great voice he was assigned to special services and appeared in a couple of military-sponsored shows. Following his separation from the Army, Lanza went to New York where he trained intermittently with Metropolitan Opera luminaries whom he impressed with his powerful voice, startling breath control, and sense of spontaneity. He also briefly performed on radio and appeared in concerts that brought stunning fame. More critics joined in the chorus of praise for this naturally exceptionally gifted tenor. When he replaced the noted opera great Ferrucio Tagliavini in 1947, the result astounded audience and critics alike as the undoubted forerunner of the next generation of tenors.
Interestingly, although opera seemed his natural trajectory, Lanza appeared in only one full-length legitimate opera -"Madame Butterfly". From the late 1940s and for the next several years making films would occupy him. Beginning with "That Midnight Kiss" in 1949 he made eight movies altogether, the most important of these being the "Toast of New Orleans" in which he sang one of his greatest hits, "Be My Love" and "The Great Caruso." The latter, his best film seemed so fittingly appropriate for Lanza in that he, as an upcoming tenor and prospective successor to Enrico Caruso, played the part of the greatest of all tenors. His bouts with depression and rapid weight gain limited his role in "The Student Prince" to singing as a voice-over for actor Edmund Purdom who appeared on the screen as the prince. During the late 1950s Lanza tried to revive his waning career by performing in Italy and other countries. For a time he was very productive in making numerous recordings including memorable Neapolitan favorites, and a worthy film performance. Unfortunately the old problems of depression returned and in addition he became seriously ill succumbing in 1959, leaving a widow and four children. He also left a legacy -that of the greatest tenor this country has produced. Even the greatest of contemporary tenors such as Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo readily admit his influence on their careers.

What You Need To Know About Hives Hives are itchy, raised and annoying! They occur when the body reacts to something that it is sensitive or allergic to, which results in it releasing histamines and other chemicals into the bloodstream. While this is occurring, tiny veins and capillaries leak, and the fluid is trapped in the skin. Anxiety is the normal feeling of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear we feel in response to stressful or dangerous situations. Physiologically, blood pressure and heart rate increase, sweating increases, as does blood flow to major muscle groups.
Immune and digestive functions are suppressed. Anxiety stimulates us to act, and is a protective mechanism designed to prevent us from engaging in potentially harmful behaviors. However, a chronically recurring case of anxiety that takes over a person's life is considered an anxiety disorder. A sexually transmitted disease, also known as a STD, is an infection contracted through sexual or intimate contact such as vaginal or anal intercourse or oral sex. STDs are now commonly being called STIs, or sexually transmitted infections.
In the past, sexually transmitted diseases were known as veneral diseases or VDs. Some common STDs include genital herpes, HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and genital warts. Cancer is a highly varied disease that involves an uncontrollable replication of cells in the body. All of the cells in our body continuously replicate and generate new cells and keep our bodies in healthy working condition. When cells become cancerous, their ability to replicate is no longer orderly and controlled, and they continue to multiply even after new cells are no longer needed.
These extra cells accumulate in the form of a tissue substance called a tumor or growth. Learn About Herpes & How It Affects You Herpes is a highly contagious infection that can be transmitted through direct physical contact, it can also be transmitted through kissing or sharing the same eating utensils with an infected person. Herpes also known as Herpes Simplex Virus generally comes in two types Herpes Type 1 or HSV-1 which usually causes the appearance of cold sores in addition to this blisters can form on the lips and on the inside of the mouth. In some cases the gums can also become swollen. How To Deal With A Skin Rash A skin rash can be itchy, red, uncomfortable – and perhaps what's even worse – look gross.
But most people suffer from these skin irritations at some point in their life. When one of these annoying episodes sets in, it helps to know what they are, and why they happen. When your skin's appearance and feel changes, you may have a skin rash. Differences in texture and color are all telltale and rather reliable indicators of a skin rash, if an intense itching or series of prominent bumps haven't not appeared yet. Shingles is known as herpes zoster, an extremely painful viral infection that is caused by the chicken pox virus.
Shingles can develop in any person who already has had chicken pox. More than one out of every ten people who had the chicken pox virus as a child gets the shingles virus as adults. Usually it occurs in people that are over 60 years of age. Varicella zoster, which is the same virus that causes chicken pox, causes shingles and is in the herpes family. The shingles disease is not a new infection and it is considered a second outbreak of the chicken pox virus.
I had so much problem gettin in A BLOG. I need to talk to someone about home remedies for MRSA. I have had it once on my forhead. I think it was caused by a flea bite. I got antibotics and it cleared it up.
Now I think I have one between my thigh and my lips if you know what I mean. It feels like a hair foticale deal but since I had so much problem with it before I am really freaking out. I had a few of the antibotics left and I took them. They were like a sulfer drug. A vaginal yeast infection is pain and irritation of the vagina and the surrounding area, called the vulva.
It is caused by a large growth of the fungus or yeast in the body. Yeast infections are also known as Candida yeast infections. Yeast normally lives in the vagina in small numbers, but when the bacteria within the vagina become out of balance, the yeast will grow quickly and cause pain. Vaginal yeast infections are very common in women, but it is good to recognize that men can also get yeast infections. Yeast infections in men occur when they have unprotected sex with a partner that has a yeast infection.
If both partners are not treated for the yeast infection then they can re-infect each other again and again. Most women will experience a vaginal yeast infection in their lifetime and some might even experience two or more. Depression is a disease that affects millions of Americans, many who don't even realize they have it. The cases of it range from situational to mild to clinical. Dealing with depression brings daily challenges that never truly end.

Not As Easy As It Sounds: Language Versioning For Video
Posted on: March 02, 2013
Category: General
In order to get your video's message across in an impactful manner, the audio must be clear, crisp and understandable. This is often achievable through the creation of a single version of your video. However, many companies choose to have their videos accessible to a broader audience across a variety of linguistic and cultural segments. This often necessitates a video technique known as language versioning, something that can be fairly challenging.
Language versioning is not simply pasting a translation onto an already completed video. The practice requires an in depth understanding of the culture, customs and language of the selected target audience in order to ensure that an authentic connection is made with the audience as naturally as possible.
When incorporating language versioning for video, producers must first hire a language consultant. This can be the translator for the video or a person knowledgeable about the language and culture of your target audience. This ensures that the video maintains its true meaning.
The language consultant should ensure that the grammar is flawless. This includes accents, idioms and other aspects of the language. A common mistake for companies that want to jump into versioning in a third language is to look for a cheap translator, record a voice over and place it over the original video.
If at all possible, language versioning should be a consideration from the moment the English version of the film is being produced, so that if there is a particular image or visual that could be produced specifically for the non-English video, then that image be chosen in order to help with the post-production process.
Language versioning often results in an extension of the script by about 20% in order for the syntax and grammar to remain intact. It is important then for a client to know how this will affect the final product, especially if it is required to maintain a standard length for the video. In order to accommodate this, words or phrases can be dropped or condensed, a voice over might have to be read at a quicker pace, or the video itself might require moving a couple of shots around.
Language versioning is not only a tool to target local ethno-cultural communities but can also be used to connect with the rest of the world. For example, if a coffee shop is set in an area rich with tourists, it might benefit from showcasing the shop in a few of the languages used by those visitors, in order to attract more customers.
Language versioning is a process that requires knowledge of how all the elements of a culture come together to create a strong and powerful message for a particular audience. It is paramount to have respect for that third language even if we understand "rien", "nada", "无", "nichts" "τίποτα" of it.
If you would like to use language versioning for your upcoming or pre-existing film, don't hesitate to contact us to find out how we can help you.

Do you need to start marketing your business but have no idea where to start? If so, then you should look into Facebook marketing. You have the ability to reach millions of people. Read this article to find a great plethora of amazing advice.
Link all of your content to your Facebook page. If you're a blogger you should put a link to your Facebook page at the end of your posts. Your Twitter page and other pages can be linked straight to your Facebook account.
When you use Facebook for marketing purposes, you must have a page that stands apart from the crowd. Add colors and pictures to your page. This will attract the most amount of customers.
One way to target your customers with specific ads is to add your email list to the "custom audience" feature on Facebook. This boosts your rate of conversion and reduces campaign costs because there are more opportunities for leads to be converted to sales.
No Facebook marketing campaign will succeed unless people see it, so you should concentrate on building a solid following first. Save your major marketing investments for after you have built a base of a few thousand Facebook fans. Once you gain a large following, you marketing efforts will become much easier.
You must not forget your current customer base. Many people focus on getting new fans and "likes", causing them to forget the fans they have already. You should ensure that your audience feels appreciated. This engages your consumers with your brand, so you can't forget who your champions are.
Think about purchasing a Facebook ad. You can customize your ad by having people of a certain age or gender view it. There are many budget tools to work with as well. This is a valuable tool as you do not have to commit funds long-term to the advertisement. Your ad can be ceased at any time.
One easy way to get people to engage with your campaign is to give something away. Give away something to a small group of your customers willing to be on the mailing list or those who give your Facebook page a "like." This technique will increase your visibility without the necessity of spending much money.
Try to add value and relevancy to each of your Facebook posts. Your followers should learn something from what you post or they should be entertained in some way. Don't make every post an ad, though.
Make a group dedicated to your business. This can only be a one-stop shop where people can ask questions and customers are able to chat with one another. You can alert the masses to a special deal you are running or a new product you have coming out. This is a really good way to engage your customers.
Make your Facebook content "shareable" for others. If you have valuable information on your page, you will probably have people in your audience that want to tell others about it. Facebook depends on people who interact and share with others. Getting your followers to spread the word about you to their own social circles is the entire point of Facebook marketing, and you'll have a better shot at making that happen when you provide them with noteworthy, valuable content to share.
Satisfied Customers
Ask people to put up reviews. Always welcome feedback from satisfied customers on your site. It is always helpful to have satisfied customers leave positive feedback for potential customers to read.
Use your Facebook page to engage in conversation. Get your fans talking. Start to discuss something, or ask for opinions to get the ball rolling. Once you get your fans to talk you can speak back to them. By taking part in conversations, your fans will see you as someone who is genuinely concerned for them.
Understand more about Facebook. The better you understand everything about it, the more capable of taking advantage of the features you will be. Read through the help files in the support section of Facebook if you want to learn all you need to know about it. You will enjoy the outcome.
Do not give up on Facebook as a marketing tool just because you do not get huge results immediately. Developing a solid marketing plan always takes awhile, and this is always so when it comes to social media marketing efforts. You need to allow a good amount of time for building a strong new following and getting a sales boost.
Allow your campaign on Facebook to grow and gradually develop new sales for you. Don't expect to be an overnight success. You have to build your fan base, create great content and then market effectively to boost sales. When you do, over time you'll see great rewards.
Look at Facebook as more than just something to attract fans, but rather as something to capture the hearts of existing ones. New fans who join thanks to a contest probably won't be engaged with your page. They just want an opportunity to win. Think of it as a method for rewarding your loyal customers, instead.
Facebook marketing is simple if you take the time to do it right. Everything that you've gone over in this article should point you in the right direction if you wish to start soon. You'll be amazed at just how far your marketing message reaches when you start your campaign!

LeasePlan co-founds ZEV Challenge
LeasePlan has announced it is one of the co-founders of ZEV Challenge, a global coalition to speed up the transition to electric mobility.
The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Challenge is organised by The Climate Group and C40. Other founders next to LeasePlan include Unilever, EDF Energy, the State of California and the City of New York.
Clear signal
ZEV Challenge aims to bring together states, regions, cities, businesses and NGOs to send a clear signal to the automotive industry: the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing!
As an additional push towards electric mobility, ZEV Challenge partners will develop and advocate policies and solutions designed to spark a mass adoption of EVs.
"Although we're seeing the appetite for EVs rise every day, the vehicles, infrastructure and policies to meet this demand aren't there yet", says LeasePlan's Tex Gunning. "We're therefore delighted to join the global ZEV Challenge and work with the industry to make zero-emission mobility a reality".
Starting electric can be one of the easiest ways to tackle climate change, the LeasePlan CEO says, "but only if everyone rises to the ZEV Challenge".
1.8 million vehicles
Helen Clarkson, CEO of The Climate Group is delighted that LeasePlan, with its total global fleet of 1.8 million vehicles, is stepping up to the ZEV Challenge: "Transport is a significant and growing contributor to climate change".
Road transport accounts for around a third of CO2 emissions in the U.S. and 20% in the EU. EVs cause up to 70% lower CO2 emissions than internal-combustion engine vehicles.
"Today, we're challenging automotive manufacturers to work with all stakeholder groups – states, regions, cities, businesses and NGOs like ours – to accelerate the zero-emissions mobility revolution and make electric transport the norm", Clarkson says.
Starting point
As a founding member of the ZEV Challenge, LeasePlan commits to using its policy influence and customer relationships to accelerate the adoption of EVs among some of the world's largest businesses. Over half the cars on the road today belong to companies, making corporate fleets a natural starting point for the transition to EVs.
LeasePlan is a founding partner of The Climate Group's EV100 initiative, the only scheme encouraging global businesses to transition to electric fleets by 2030. The company is leading by example, by aiming to transition its own employee fleet completely to EVs by 2021.

CUMBERLAND — Voters rejected re-election bids by two incumbent School Board members Tuesday, but approved next year's School Administrative 51 budget.
The budget referendum passed, 1,470 to 1,015. The vote was 1,080 to 657 in Cumberland and 390-358 in North Yarmouth. Voter turnout was 31 percent in Cumberland and 27 percent in North Yarmouth.
Three Town Council races were uncontested in Cumberland. Incumbents Shirley Storey-King of Shirley Lane received 1,545 votes, while Ron Copp of Interurban Drive earned 1,454 and George Turner of Carriage Road drew 1,494. All sought third terms.
In the School Board elections, James Moulton narrowly defeated incumbent Todd Nicholson, 341-327, for a North Yarmouth seat. Jeffrey Porter defeated incumbent Karen Campbell, 1,043 to 762, for a three-year Cumberland seat.
Moulton, 63, of Mill Road, served on the SAD 51 board from 2002 to 2005. He has lived in North Yarmouth for 60 years, is married, has two daughters and four grandchildren. Three of those grandchildren will be in the SAD 51 system by next school year.
"It was close," the owner of Jim's Auto Repair said Tuesday night about his 14-vote margin of victory. "I figured it would be, because the vote was pretty close on the budget."
Along with his time on the School Board, he has served 12 years on the Board of Selectmen, most recently from 2005 to 2008. Moulton has also served six years on the Cumberland County Budget Advisory Committee and several years on the town Zoning Board of Appeals.
He served on the Policy Committee during his time on the SAD 51 board.
Nicholson, 46, of Hawthorne Road, was elected to the board in 2009 and was seeking his second term. He has lived in North Yarmouth for 20 years, is married and has three children in SAD 51 schools.
Nicholson said Tuesday night that he was unsure whether he would ask for a recount.
"I'm pleased that the budget validation referendum passed," he said.
Nicholson is director of advancement at Maine Audubon and serves on the Freeport Historical Society board. He is chairman of the SAD 51 Finance Committee and serves on the board's Strategic Thinking and Planning Committee. He has also chaired its Policy Committee and served on its Negotiations Committee.
Porter, 46, of Crossing Brook Road, stepped down from the Cumberland Town Council last year after 12 years. His wife has worked in SAD 51, but is now teaching in Pownal, which allowed him to seek a School Board seat. They have five children; four are still in district schools.
"I look forward to serving the citizens of Cumberland," Porter said Tuesday night.
A lifelong Cumberland resident, Porter is a Cumberland-North Yarmouth Lions Club member and spent nine years on the People's Regional Opportunity Program board, including two as chairman. His job with the U.S. Commercial Service, as director of the U.S. Export Assistance Center in Portland, has taken him to about 30 countries since 1995.
His town service has included work on the Greely Middle School Building Committee; the Cumberland Housing Authority; the Val Halla Golf & Recreation Center board and Twin Brooks and Rines Forest committees; Cumberland's finance, recreation, energy advisory, Doane and town center committees, and a local regionalization committee.
Campbell, 50, of Stonewall Drive, has lived in Cumberland for nine years. She is an a married, at-home parent and has three children; two are in the SAD 51 system.
She is the School Board vice chairwoman and is also involved with its finance, negotiations, and strategic thinking and planning committees. Campbell also led the board's communications committee for two years, has been the policy committee chairwoman and has served as liaison between the School Board and parent-teacher organization.
The budget ratification by residents of the Cumberland-North Yarmouth school district followed the June 7 approval at a town meeting at Greely Middle School. More than 110 registered voters attended that meeting.
Next year's spending plan reflects a 5.3 percent increase, from $28.9 million to $30.4 million. The fiscal 2012 budget, a nearly 3 percent increase over last year, followed three years of flat budgets of $28 million.
The budget is expected to cause a tax-rate increase in Cumberland of 50 cents per $1,000 of property valuation, a climb of 3.1 percent. The increase would be about $150 a year on a home valued at $300,000.
North Yarmouth could see a tax rate increase of between 94 and 98 cents, or about about 7.1 percent, pending final valuations. The owner of a $300,000 home there could experience an annual increase in school taxes of between $282 and $294.
As a percentage of the overall (state-equalized) valuation of the two communities, North Yarmouth's increased slightly, shifting about $130,000 to that town, according to SAD 51 Finance Director Scott Poulin. That town's percentage of the total combined valuation has increased this year from 28.7 percent to 29.4 percent.
The recent growth of Cumberland's tax base is another key factor behind the two towns' sharing of costs.

West Beirut
In April, 1975, civil war breaks out; Beirut is partitioned along a Moslem-Christian line. Tarek is in high school, making Super 8 movies with his friend, Omar. At first the war is a lark: school has closed, the violence is fascinating, getting from West to East is a game. His mother wants to leave; his father refuses. Tarek spends time with May, a Christian, orphaned and living in his building. By accident, Tarek goes to an infamous brothel in the war-torn Olive Quarter, meeting its legendary madam, Oum Walid. He then takes Omar and May there using her underwear as a white flag for safe passage. Family tensions rise. As he comes of age, the war moves inexorably from adventure to tragedy.

John Wayne still has it at this point...the "it" isnt the same "it" he had in earlier films...but it's still John Wayne. Attenborough is good in here as well. Is it a great work of cinema? Not especially. Is it's story particularly original? By all means no! Is it fun and at times stylish? Yes! I really enjoyed this movie!
Ola G (au) wrote: In the 1942 Pacific War theatre of World War II, Lieutenant Sam Lawson (Cliff Robertson), is a Japanese language interpreter who - so far - has avoided combat. His commanding officer Capt. John G. Nolan (Henry Fonda) unexpectedly cancels his leave and informs Lawson that he is to be assigned to a British infantry commando unit in the New Hebrides Islands for a combat mission. The British base is in the middle of a large open field, several hundred yards from the edge of the jungle; on the other side of the jungle is a Japanese observation and communications post. Shortly after Lawson's arrival at the base, a patrol of British soldiers sprint out of the jungle and across the open field, pursued by the Japanese. The base commander, Col. Thompson (Harry Andrews), instructs his men to keep well back, out of enemy range; they watch as the patrol are cut down by Japanese rifle fire. Lawson's commando group is instructed to destroy the Japanese radio transmitter to prevent them from sounding the alarm about an American naval convoy which is scheduled to appear on the horizon in three days. The post's radio operator transmits an "all's well" signal every night at midnight; it will be Lawson's job to transmit a fake signal (in Japanese) to buy the Allies another 24 hours. The commando group is led by Captain Hornsby (Denholm Elliott), an upper class officer who apparently has a history of foolhardiness. The other members of the squad are draftees from Singapore whose enthusiasm for fighting leaves something to be desired: Pte. Tosh Hearne (Michael Caine), a cynical Cockney who is also the squad's medic; Pte. Jock Thornton (Ian Bannen), a lean Scot whom Lawson at first considers slightly cracked for skipping on patrol and singing the "Teddy Bears' Picnic", Pvt. Campbell (Ronald Fraser), a fat Glaswegian; grey-haired Sergeant Johnstone (Percy Herbert); Scott the radio operator (Harvey Jason); Griffiths, Rogers, Currie, Connolly, and Riddle. By the time the squad reaches the Japanese post, Riddle, Connolly, and Currie are dead from a botched ambush - which, Tosh mutters to Lawson, was entirely due to Hornsby's incompetence: they were positioned on both sides of the trail, and the dead men seem to have been the victims of friendly fire. When Johnstone is wounded in another encounter, Hornsby leaves him behind; shortly thereafter, Johnstone is discovered by the Japanese and his throat slit. Things continue to go wrong for the men, and eventually they have to fight to survive while exposing their weakness in character...Robert Aldrich recalled that the production company ABC Films, wanted another version of his classic and successful "The Dirty Dozen" and that "Too Late the Hero", a property that could use some of the same elements, had been languishing in studio drawers for over a decade. The idea of the film came from an unpublished novel called Don't Die Mad by Robert Sherman who had worked on several films with Aldrich. The plot surrounds a rag tag of unsympathetic and insubordinate soldiers that fight only to save their lives and not for patriotism or idealism. Robertsons anti-hero Lawson redeems himself in the end and becomes an American hero. Of course. The dialogue is quite cynical and yet theres humour mixed in the drama and violent outcomes. The sets and environments in the Philippines add to the authenticity of the picture and the cinematography is fine. However, the problem with "Too Late The Hero" is first of all the casting of Cliff Robertson in the main role as he simply cant carry that role. Aldrich said he wanted "anyone but Cliff Robertson" for the lead role but he was overruled by the studio. I agree with Aldrich. The second problem is that it is so clear that this is simply a poorer carbon copy of Aldrich "The Dirty Dozen" as said and it just doesnt come near to the former one. And third of all, it never really becomes that exciting and theres too much running time that doesnt add to the film. The enjoyment of the film is Michael Caine and not much else.

Botanic Abatement
Overgrowth of plants and foliage along roadways results in hazardous driving conditions and often serves as habitats for potentially disease-carrying pests. Restricted vision, damaged roads, and distraction are just a few of the hazardous driving conditions that can be caused by overgrowth along the roadsides. Mosquitos, snakes, and some rodents are a few of the pests that commonly inhabit this overgrowth.
Foliage can block pedestrians, signs, intersections and driveways from a driver's view. Pavement can be damaged or destroyed by the roots of plants growing up to the edge of the road. Water standing in ditches can undermine roadbeds and result in damaged or destroyed pavement. A driver can be distracted by overhanging limbs and foliage too near the roadside.
Overgrown ditches are a favored habitat for many mosquitos, snakes, rodents, spiders, and other creatures. It is true that not all of them carry diseases, but most of them cause irritation, injury or damage to humans or property. Reduction of their habitats and breeding grounds is beneficial to the residents of our community.
The purpose of Botanic Abatement is to manage and control roadside vegetation, with the goal of improved driving conditions and decreased habitats for pests, while maintaining and improving the integrity of the environment and the quality of life of the residents. These aims are best met through the practice of Integrated Vegetation Management.
Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) is proven to be effective, economical, and environmentally friendly. Prevention of traffic accidents, decreased need for road repair, and pest habitat reduction are ways that IVM lessens expenditures and improves quality of life. The methods and techniques employed in the IVM program are designed to have the most positive impact on the environment that is possible while effectively managing roadside vegetation.
The major methods that are used in IVM are Cultural, Mechanical, and Chemical. Promoting the growth of desired plants and removing undesired plants, when done by hand, are examples of Cultural methods. Mechanical methods consist of techniques such as mowing, trimming, and grading. The most common Chemical methods are banding and spraying.
A wide range of county services, performed jointly with Botanic Abatement, bring about effective and economical use of resources, better drainage, reduced erosion, increased traffic safety, less road repair, improved appearance of roadways, protection of wildlife, and the greater comfort and safety of residents. Communication with the residents and response to the needs of the community provide the final link in achieving the purposes and goals of county services.

Have a question? Call 1-800-233-6690
The greatest thing about corporate gift baskets is that the possibilities are endless for customizing your gift to fit your exact needs. Have an unusual theme that you are working with and having a hard time finding just the right promotional gift to meet your needs? Fill a basket with a variety of small items that work well together to expound upon your theme.
Many pre-stocked gift baskets are available to fit a wide variety of occasions, if you prefer. Many basket ideas are geared around food, including cookies, crackers, cheese, wines, teas or coffees. You can also include complementary items, such as mugs to go with coffee items, a bottle opener with wine or even a t-shirt that fits your theme.
The basket itself is also part of the selection process when choosing a corporate gift basket. For higher-end gifts you can package your items in a beautiful picnic basket or in a silver-plated, handcrafted wine cooler. You can also use items that fit the products, such as packaging tea in a tea pot.
While most food items are already branded, you are welcome to include another item inside the gift basket that includes your logo or company branding on it. You can also have personalized gift cards added to the basket. A thoughtful, inspirational gift card may be kept, providing a lasting impression long after the baskets contents have been eaten.
When selecting baskets as corporate gifts, keep shipping costs in mind as you anticipate your final costs. Because baskets are bulky, they need to ship in larger containers and frequently cost a bit more than standard-sized shipments. This is particularly true for expedited shipping, which may be chosen if the contents of the basket are highly perishable. (In these cases, you will also want to make sure the recipient will be in town to receive it. Youd hate for them to return to a basket of spoiled food items.)
Gift baskets make particularly good welcome baskets. After a busy day traveling, a plentiful gift basket awaiting you in your hotel room makes for a nice surprise. (Especially since it will stop you from breaking into those exorbitantly high-priced mini-bars!)
Baskets also make a nice corporate gift when they are being delivered to a team of workers as a thank you. A gift basket can be easily shared among a group, and there is sure to be something for everyone in the mix of items.

No. 559-06 IMMEDIATE RELEASEJun 16, 2006
DoD Announces Army CasualtyThe Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Sgt. Roger P. Pena Jr., 29, of San Antonio died in Musa Qulah,Afghanistan, on June 14, when his convoy came under enemy small arms fire during combat operations. Pena was assigned to the 10th Sustainment Brigade, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), Fort Drum, N.Y.
Harlandale alum killed in Afghanistan Web Posted: 06/16/2006 12:00 AM CDTCarmina DaniniExpress-News Staff Writer
There's just one thing people should know about Army Sgt. Roger P. Peña Jr., a champion chess player and Harlandale High School alumnus, his grieving father said Thursday.
"He was a hero. That's how I want him to be remembered," Roger Peña Sr. said. "It's a great loss. Nobody understands the pain unless they've been there."
Peña, 29, a combat medic with the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, N.Y., was killed Tuesday in Afghanistan.
Details of what happened have not been released by the Defense Department, but his father said he was told Peña was caught in an ambush.
Another soldier was wounded.
Peña only had recently been promoted to sergeant and was considering staying in the military, his father said.
"I was distraught when I learned he was going to Afghanistan, but it was his wish," his father said. "To me, going into the Army was a bad decision but I supported him."
The older of two sons, the sergeant never told his family members about his work out of fear they would worry more than they already did.
A good student who made excellent grades, he was in the youth club at St. Leo's Catholic Church and he enjoyed competing in chess against kids from the North Side.
Nine years old when his father began teaching him chess, Peña took to it quickly. He joined the chess club when he got to Harlandale Middle School and began taking part in more serious competitions.
In 1991, Peña took first place overall among eighth-graders at the Texas Junior State Championship in Austin.
The team placed second in the state meet.
"Roger was one of the top players at that time in the state," said Felix Fierros Jr., a chess coach and computer literacy teacher at the middle school at the time.
Fierros, who will be teaching at Inez Foster Elementary School in the fall, said the football coaches at Harlandale High School, where Peña played on the football and soccer teams, were overjoyed at his chess-playing ability.
"Because of chess, coaches knew he could think ahead and calculate what strategies would be needed in football," Fierros said. "Besides that, he was one of those kids who's a born leader. He had the looks, the smarts, the charisma and the kids liked him."
Peña almost attended Texas A&M University, but his father talked him into attending the University of Texas at Austin because it was closer to home.
His goal was to graduate and teach history.
At UT, he met a pretty student from Mission, Marisol Gomez. He took a semester off after they got married, thinking he would return to get his degree. Instead, until he joined the Army, Peña worked with the H.E. Butt Grocery Co., first at the store on Fredericksburg Road, then at the one on Goliad Road.
The sergeant made his last visit home in January to see Marisol, their two sons, Ivan, 5, and Gabriel, 2, and his parents.
"When he arrived, he told his mother he needed a home-cooked meal," his father said. "He liked everything, but Mexican food was his favorite."
Now, Peña's little boys have no idea what has happened to their father.
"They know he's away, but they don't know that he's never coming back," their grandfather said.
08 Mar 2006I am a soldier from Fort Drum, NY. Right now some of us are in Afghanistan working in a clinic treating military personnel, DOD civilians, and locals. We can use a lot of entertainment like magazines, music, movies, books, because our access is limited. Stuff like sweets, popcorn, candy and coffee are great. Also, for the females that work for me I wouldn't know what to request other than female stuff. Thank you.
Why? Because this list changes all the time due to unit movements, soldier transfers, or even soldier casualties.
It is also illegal. ALL content on this site is copyright Any Soldier Inc.
DO NOT send any letter or package to a soldier's address unless you check this web site the same day you mail your packages.
Please do not burden the soldiers or the APO/FPO by sending things when the soldiers are gone. If a soldier is not listed here anymore then that soldier's address is expired. Check here often!
DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply!
DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a Soldier!
A supporter said it perfectly, "I mean, these guys and gals have other things on their minds, y'know? Like...oh, STAYING ALIVE?"
(NOTE **): The number shown is how many times a form was submitted requesting this address. This does NOT necessarily mean that this contact will be helped by that many folks. Rule of thumb is that anything 5 requests or less may in fact be no support at all. No way to tell exactly unless the contact lets you know in his/her update how much support they are getting.
(Note 1.): Note that postage to APO AE and FPO AE (E = Europe) is only to NY where the connection to the APO/FPO (APO = Army Post Office)(FPO = Fleet Post Office) is, or to San Francisco for APO AP and FPO AP (P = Pacific), so you don't pay postage all the way to Iraq/Afghanistan.
You might consider picking contacts closer to your mailing area to help cut the cost of mailing. If you live on the East Coast, pick "AE", West Coast, pick "AP", Midwest, well...uh, Thank You for your Support! ;)
New with us (December 2005) you might notice "APO AA" and "FPO AA". This is for units in the Caribbean/South America. Normally. However, due to the nature of some units they may be in Iraq but have an address showing "FPO AA". Mail addresses to "AA" goes out of Miami, Florida.
(Note 2.): Why are military addresses weird? There isn't a street address or city. What gives? Correct, just about everything about the military is weird to civilians. Military units are very mobile, they move around a lot, often they even become part of another unit. The APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) assign APO and FPO numbers as needed, they are NOT static. An APO/FPO number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO/FPO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.
(Note 3.): The "Expect to not mail past" date is only an approximate and is one of the least reliable things on this web site. It is because of this that you must check often before you send anything to this unit. There are a few reasons this date is not reliable, to include: it IS the Military, we ARE dealing with the APO/FPO/DPO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a Contact is dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their date leaving to help avoid mail bouncing.
(Note 4.): (Removed for OPSEC reasons)
(Note 5.): The lines, "Contact with approx number of Soldiers:" and "Approx how may Female Soldiers:" have NOTHING to do with unit strength. They are approximately how many other Troops the Contacts believe they can get packages to. This helps you understand that you should not send 100 packages to someone who only deals with 10 Troops.
Don't forget that if your package is for a female Soldier, be sure to change "ATTN: Any Soldier®" to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier".
Note 6.): This is simply where the unit this contact is from. This is NOT a true picture of the folks in the unit as most all units are made up of folks from all over the United States.) A "Composite Unit" is one made up of other units and is usually temporary for a particular mission.
Note 7.): Updated APO/FPO/DPO mailing restrictions> courtesy of Oconus.com (gone now)
(Note: About Restriction "U2": "U2 - Limited to First Class Letters", Box "R" is for retired personnel that live overseas and are still authorized an APO/FPO box. Their address will be something like Box 3345R. Doubt you will see anything like that in Afghanistan or Iraq or ...)(Please Note: Sometime in August 2013, Oconus.com changed the code on their page and our form doesn't work with them anymore, so a link to their page is the best we can do, sorry.)

Take a moment to rethink
About logic and insanity
Caught on the ice rink.
Pamper the darkness
Let it slowly grow
For when night comes
You'll depend on the moon's heavenly glow.
But beware of Pride
And keep your eye on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The three together is the lovechild
Of a nightmare's most infamous ride.
So proceed with caution
And remember the price
Because all things come and go
And there's nowhere left to hide.
We all face the same moment
When our choices will unveil
Through the fire and hail
If we shall live or die
Or simply survive.

Mayor to be recognized
Mayor Russell Thomas will be recognized along with two city retirees during Monday night's City Commission meeting at City Hall.
Thomas has served as mayor for the past 18 years, having been elected to the position nine times. This year, though, the mayor is hanging up his hat.
Ahead of the May 7 election, Monday's meeting will serve as the final one before the City has a new mayor-elect.
The meeting comes amid a City election in which two Ennisites are grappling for the mayoral seat. Early voting at Ennis Public Library for Monday closes an hour before the Commission meeting begins, at 6 p.m.

What Is A Mullet Haircut And When Did It Start?
So, what is a mullet haircut? Well, it's been around since the 60s and was very popular during the 80s with many hockey players. It has actually started seeing a comeback recently, thanks to the number of magazines employing models who enjoy the retro look. This hairstyle is cut short in the front and left long in the back.
There is a range of hair lengths left in the back. Hair can reach to the shoulders or all the way down to the waist. Mullet haircuts are more common on men and can be a fun change from the traditional buzz cut or flat top for the summer. Not everyone can pull off the same style of mullet, due to their face shape and hair type.
For instance, individuals with a long face might prefer a mullet that is longer in the back as well. The mullet can be left to do its own thing or altered for a bit of flair. Some men find that adding a little curl to the length in the back is best done with a mild perm. This can add a bit of body to even the thinnest hair.
Celebrities have even been seen sporting mullets pulled into ponytails or dyed in an array of colors. A few singers in the 70s and 80s had some fascinating mullets that caught on with the general public. Some men liked this hairstyle enough to keep wearing it, even today. Punk rockers have been known to combine a Mohawk with their mullet haircut.
No special care is usually needed with a mullet haircut. These can be washed, dried, and styled the same as any other type of cut. Achieving the perfect mullet cut can be tricky, especially if the person giving the haircut hasn't a clue as to what a mullet is supposed to look like. Taking a photograph along of the desired mullet will eliminate the question: What is a mullet haircut?

the world's largest loon
Vergas, MN

Excerpted from Frazee-Vergas Forum, "Trail meeting set Jan. 14 in Frazee", by John W. Dermody, Jan 7, 2009
Three groups working to promote trails will meet Wednesday, Jan. 14, at the Frazee Event Center from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
The meeting is expected to bring together about 50 participants who are concerned with the formation and development of the trails, although one is more likely to be referred to as a "canoe route."
Some of the persons present Wednesday will be from the Laurentian Lakes Chapter of the North County Trails Association (NCTA), while others have been intimately involved with the Heartland
Each of the trails could have a great impact on this community, he pointed out, although the work on developing them will take a significant amount of time.
For example, conversation at next week's FEC meeting will center on how the North Country Trail might eventually wind its way from Itasca - via Clearwater - on toward the southwest, with Frazee featured as a trail town.
Editor's note: One of the best pieces of pie to be had along the NCT is a buttermilk pie in Vergas, so I'm biased in wanting the trail to go through there!

The Grand Army of the Republic Remembered
Memorial Day, formerly 'Decoration Day,' evokes memories, as it should. The holiday's origins as a 'look back' in memory of Union veterans who served in the Civil War are sometimes forgotten now; even the movie scene like the one in 'The Wizard of Oz' where the Wiz explains to the Cowardly Lion that back where he came from there were men called 'heroes,' and that once a year they took their courage out of mothballs and paraded it down the main street of the city. Surely L. Frank Baum was thinking of 'The Grand Army of the Republic,' or 'GAR,' America's first great veterans organization, and one of the most powerful lobbies of its' time, when he penned those lines in 1900. The GAR, formed in 1866, became a dominant force in Republican politics by the 1880s, and used that influence to elect friendly politicians to state and national office and to lobby successfully for veterans benefits, the latter so successfully that from originally securing pensions for those whose war woulds left them unable to work, and for the widows and orphans of Union soldiers killed in action, to, in the early years of the 20th Century, a pension for everyone who claimed Union service and who had attained 62 years of age, because, as President Theodore Roosevelt said in signing 'Order #78,' 'Old age is the greatest disability of all.' This action was lambasted as de facto vote-buying reminiscent of Roman 'bread and circuses' by Mark Twain and indicates that the support for payment of universal benefits was far from being universal itself.
(Confederate veterans were not eligible fort GAR membership nor for Federal benefits, but former Confederate states often provided generously for them, the more so as they were mostly mired in varying degrees of poverty after enduring combat on their soil and loss when the war concluded. Their systems were mostly in place by the 1890s, and continued to pay out benefits until 2008, in the case of the last known surviving Civil War widow, Maude Celia White Hopkins of Arkansas. )
The GAR passed into history, but traces of their existence are still to be seen, as many of their old meeting halls still stand, such as the one pictured below in Detroit. (This building is recently purchased by an owner intending to renovate it for office space, so the old GAR hall will have a new lease on life well into the 21st Century.)
Three lessons are apparent for the student of history: The first is that noble intent to justly relieve obvious distress can, by slow, incremental additions of only slightly less-deserving eligibility groups, morph into something entirely different: An exercise in what the Public Choice school of political economy terms 'rent seeking,' a threat to public morals as much as to fiscal prudence. The second is that the legacy cost of war often lasts a full lifetime beyond the end of hostilities. In planning for war (as opposed to wars thrust upon an unwilling participant nation), it is almost universal to underestimate the difficulty and cost to be encountered; it is also true that a nations' leaders rarely stop to think about the bills they leave to future generations that attend upon the care of the families of the war dead, as well as for veterans who carry the costs of battle with them, in the form of wounds visible and invisible, for the rest of their lives. While the case of Maude Hopkins receiving a Civil War pension until her passing in 2008 is an extreme outlier, it does illustrate the point that we continue to pay for war long after the final shot is fired.
The third lesson, inherent in the story of the GAR itself, is that organizations with restrictive membership requirements are likely to enter the pages of history when the events whose memory they perpetuate recede into time out of mind. The American Legion (to which this writer belongs) and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, among others, have survived by making the care of all veterans their mission, and by opening their memberships to those who served in any war-time (American Legion) or overseas during hostilities (VFW). Thus, they may pass us by, as they did this writer earlier today (see below), but they do not pass away, as did the Grand Army of the Republic.

Here are four things we learned this weekend;
Karela win in Wa
Another fantastic performance at the Malik Jabir Park saw Karela FC take all the three points against a poor Wa All Stars side.Sarfo Castro has had no luck or whatsoever since taking over the Northern Blues, and they were behind in the latter parts of the second half when Ibrahim Moro came up trumps for the visitors. It was no more than they deserved but it appeared to knock the stuffing out of the hosts with more than two thirds of the game left. All Stars simply couldn't get near the ball as Karela stroked it around with ease. There was simply nothing that All Stars could take away from this game, and they look doomed to relegation on this performance.
Dwarfs leave it late
Dwarfs bounced back after their defeat to Asante Kotoko with a 2-1 victory over Inter Allies. However,they looked heading for a draw with the game only 1-1 with two minutes remaining. Benjamin Eshun had scored from the spot to put Liberty Professionals in the lead , then Alhaji Mustapha equalised for the hosts before Dennis Arkoh Mensah netted in the dying embers of the game to ensure all three points.
Rasmussen understanding the size of the task at WAFA.
Just a season ago, they were in contention for the title. Several of their players left during and after the season but many still gave them the chance to wrestle the title from Aduana Stars this campaign but that's increasingly becoming unlikely as the academy lads have not won since recording three consecutive victories at the start of the league. They lost 1-2 to Techiman Eleven Wonders over the weekend. Yusif Hussein and Emmanuel Boahen scored for the hosts. Mohammed Alhassan did get a consolation for Wafa and with goals a real problem for them at present, Rasmussen's men are without a win in their last four games, as their initial bounce has well a truly worn off.
Dreams shock Kotoko
Former Asante Kotoko boss, Karim Zito got one over his old side as Dreams FC pulled off a 1-0 victory over Kotoko on Sunday. George Dwubeng got the much needed goal to place his side fifth on the log.
Pressure mounts on Wellington
Hearts suffered a 1-2 defeat to Elimina Sharks. They home side had an uneventful first half with Wellington failing to provide any kind of inspiration. They did improve in the second half but it wasn't enough to bring them into the game as the Phobians suffered their third defeat in seven games.

A joint venture between Tufts Medical Center in Boston and Quincy-based Shields Health Care Group Inc., is on track to proceed after the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission (HPC) announced Monday it will not proceed with a formal review of the transaction.
The two providers plan to enter into a clinical affiliation to jointly manage MRI services at existing sites owned by Tufts and Shields in Dorchester and Dedham, according to documents filed by the HPC.
The HPC decision not to move forward indicates changes to healthcare cost and access aren't expected as a result of the deal, which is set to be final on April 1. Under state law, the HPC conducts an initial review of all transactions between providers to examine the potential for increasing cost and reducing access to health care in the state, and then can move forward with a cost and market impact review, based on the findings.
Shields has similar clinical affiliations for imaging services with Worcester-based UMass Memorial Health Care.

We will take
care of your kids
OMH Day Care Centre
Indian Montessori Centre launches Indian Montessori Training Courses in Gurgaon from April 2016, in association with Our Montessori House.
What Parents Say
- Our little one was inducted into OMH at the young age of 2 years. The teachers and staff at OMH were extremely supportive and recognised the fact that he had early milestones. They took adequate care to match him with children of his capability rather than age group so that his intellect and interest was piqued. The curriculum at the school is diverse and well rounded and ensures that children are treading on the learning path while enjoying the journey. As anxious parents we have often reached out to OMH with silly, basic and maybe annoying questions as times. Nandini has been extremely accommodative, patient and supporting and has always lent an ear to our concerns. She has also been an excellent counsellor in helping us choose the right school for our child, as he takes the next steps in his formative years. We are very thankful to Nandini and OMH for their invaluable contribution to our child's development.
- I'm really glad that I decided to put my daughter in OMH. The teachers there teach from their heart and not from books. I must credit OMH teachers who ignite the fire of learning in the minds of the kids who are yearning for knowledge. It was indeed a beautiful learning experience for my daughter….thanks a ton!!!
- "It takes a big heart to shape little minds" Thank you so much for all of your hard work and all that you have done for Aarav and Ahana.Im sure they are going to have a bright and great future because of the foundation being so strongly rooted inside them. Thank you again for all your hard work. We truly appreciate it.
- It gives me immense pleasure to share my child's experience at OMH. Early years of a child are the most crucial ones and requires a skill to groom and nurture his inquisitiveness. At OMH he has been inculcated with moral values, culture, respect, self belief and faith in Almighty. I am proud to say that now my son is a confident, independent and a smart child. I feel privileged to be associated with OMH and wish the entire team of OMH astounding success in all their endeavors.
- My son Advaith Pandalai studied at Our Montessori House between 2008-10. The two years helped Advaith turn from a shy two year old to a confident, polite and self assured four year old and it still holds him in good stead. He enjoyed going to school immensely and remembers his teachers and staff fondly. My fondest memory of Advaith during this period was his transition from being part of Sri Ramchanderji's "Vaanar Sena" in his first year to being Sri Ramchanderji in his second year during their loveable skit for Dussehra/ Diwali!
- Education is the biggest investment you could ever make in your child and we are proud to say that we started Riana's journey into the world of learning at OMH, under the capable guidance of Ms. Nandini Ghosh. She instills confidence in the child from a very young age which makes them achievers n go-getters from the beginning. Her methodology n Montessori approach helps the children grasp concepts in a simple way without putting any pressure on their tiny minds. Her one to one interaction with the children at the school helps her deal with every child in a specific way perfect for their overall growth. I am glad that I chose this beautiful school for my daughter where learning was made fun n easy setting the wheel in motion for her future years of learning.
Preschool session begins on Wednesday, 5th August, 2015 at OMH Vipul World
Points to Ponder
"Play Is The Work of the Child" – Maria Montessori
A child's play is a child's work. Play activities are essential to healthy development for children. The activities they engage in by children both stimulate and influence the pattern of the connections made between the nerve cells. This process influences the development of fine and gross motor skills, language, socialization, personal awareness, emotional well-being, creativity, problem solving and learning ability.
The most important role that play can have is to help children to be active, make choices and practice actions to mastery.
'Our work as adults does not consist in teaching, but in helping the infant mind in its work of development.' – Dr. Maria Montessori
What we all should realize is how important the absorbent mind is and that the first years of our life are crucial for our existence as adults. The absorbent mind is a unique kind of mentality that allows the child to absorb knowledge quickly and effortlessly. The child absorbs everything from the environment during his first years after birth and that is why the first plane of development is of main importance. During this period, the child has a different kind of mind. It does not matter whether what he absorbs is simple or complex because the child puts the same effort.
Art is one of the many ways children express themselves. Art is a way for children to communicate their feelings. It is through art that children develop their fine motor skills. In the Montessori environment, we provide open-ended art activities that help children explore and use their creativity.
Most 2- to 6-year-old children are in the fundamental movement phase of motor development. They are also in the Sensitive Period for movement. The sports activities done with them during these years facilitate children's acquisition of mature locomotor skills, object control skills, and stability, all of which are developmentally appropriate fundamental movements for young children. Through practice, the child further develops order, concentration, coordination, and independence.
