Film Preview by Fotini Zaharaki
Last week, I saw two films at the cinema; "Asterix and Obelix", a cartoon and "Spiderman", an adventure. The music was better in "Asterix and Obelix" than in "Spiderman", but "Spiderman" was more interesting. The acting was very good in both films, but the special effects in the adventure film weren't as good as in the cartoon. The tickets were cheaper for the adventure film than for the cartoon. I think I liked "Asterix and Obelix" more than "Spiderman".

OUR TREE PROJECT
Do you remember our tree project that most of you wrote your names on when we got the blessing (αγιασμός) on the 14th Sept?
Well, here are your leaf-names on the Willpower Tree! Can you make out your handwriting?For those who forgot to do so, that's ok! You can still see your classmates's names.Stay tuned as the same project will be published in different forms in the next few weeks. Should I say in a form of modern art? Or more stylistic maybe?
A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognised his footsteps and asked: 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'
The man said: 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What had the man written? Can you have a guess?
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Be thankful for what you have! Be creative! Be innovative! Think differently and positively!
Invite others towards good with wisdom. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Handle your present with confidence. Keep the faith and drop the fear. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling! And even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

PROJECT BY C.FRAGGOS, G. VASILIOU AND M. TSINIA ON ASPIRIN
Main article: History of aspirinA French chemist, Charles Frederic Gerhardt, was the first to prepare acetylsalicylic acid in 1853. In the course of his work on the synthesis and properties of various acid anhydrides, he mixed acetyl chloride with a sodium salt of salicylic acid (sodium salicylate). A vigorous reaction ensued, and the resulting melt soon solidified. Since no structural theory existed at that time, Gerhardt called the compound he obtained "salicylic-acetic anhydride" . This preparation of aspirin was one of the many reactions Gerhardt conducted for his paper on anhydrides and he did not pursue it further.

DID YOU KNOW THAT...
REVIEWS OF THE WEEK BY THE PROFICIENCY CLASS
Ecology is not only a desire to protect the Earth.It is a way of seeing the world! I am inclined to believe that HOME is a forceful project designed to raise awareness across the widest audience possible. It provides a different angle from which to look at old problems under a new light!''
By Vassia Liakopoulou,
Proficiency class
**********
''The miracle of life is a stunning theory! What made a real impression on me while watching the movie was to hear that the human race has brought great changes to our planet. Most of them have a negative impact and they do not support the living forms of life. Nevertheless, people become aware of the dangers and start to be concerned in an attempt to save our planet.''
By Chris Fraggos,
Proficiency class
**********
''The film gives us a complete view of how beautiful the Earth is and what human beings have caused -and are still causing to it. The natural sceneries are breathtaking. The videos show a vast range of primates, some of which are very hard to capture.
Through HOME I got to know the importance of the natural balance in our lives! People have damaged our planet to such an extent that our lives are in serious jeopardy. The movie also suggests alternative sources of energy that could slightly improve the situation.
It is my firm belief that this documentary can affect people's lifestyle and make our planet a worth living place!

SONG OF THE WEEK!
Ska-p is ska punk band from the working-class Vallecas neighborhood in Madrid, Spain. Intifada is a song from the band's fifth album ''Que Cora La Voz!'' It refers to the revolution of the Palestenians. There are 2 Intifadas. The First (1987-1991) was a Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule in the Palestenian territories and the Second was a period of intensified Palestenian-Israeli violence which began in late September 2000.In fact, this song talks about the unpleasant situations these people were forced to endure and the death of million of innocent local citizens. Additionally, it presents how awful it is to be kicked out of your own home, prevent you from protesting and eradicate your culture. However, they don't gine up and they keep trying to resist to war, racism and unjustice...
Lyrics:
Seis miliones de judios aniquilados de la forma mas cruel.
Un genocido imperialista por ejercitos fascistas, de la historia hay que aprender.
Las victimas se han convertido en los verdugos se vuelven del reves,
clonizando territorios Palestinos, de nuevo atentando a la sensatez.
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Israel
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Yavé
Que harias tu si te echaran de tu casa sin derecho a rechistar
Pisoteando tu cultura, sumergido en la locura por perder la dignidad.
Palestina esta sufriendo en el exilio la opulencia de Israel
por un govierno prepotente, preparado para la guerra, por tu ya sabes quien.
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Israel
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Yavé
Piedras contra balas una nueva intifada en Cisjordania, en Gaza o en Jerusalem.
Ohh, quién podria imaginar oh...
que David fuese Goliath (2x)
Ohh Intifada, Intifada
Ohh Intifada, liberación!
No confundas mi postura, soy ateo y no creo en ningun dios,
no diferencio a las personas por su raza, su cultura o su mierda de religion!
Solo condeno el sufrimiento, la injustia y el abuso de poder
Palestina es sometida a la mas terca de las guerras, la opulencia de Israel.
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Israel
Muertos, muertos!!! ¿En nombre de quién?
Muertos, muertos!!! De Yavé
Piedras contra balas una nueva intifada en Cisjordania, en Gaza o en Jerusalem
Ohh, quién podria imaginar oh...
que David fuese Goliath (4x)
Ohh Intifada, intifada
Ohh Intifada, liberación! (2x)
Lyrics in English:
Six million Jews
Annihilated in the manner most cruel,
An imperialist genocide by the fascist armies.
You must understand history.
The victims have become executioners,
Switching roles,
Colonizing Palestinian territories, against all common sense.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
In the name of Israel.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
What would you do if someone kicked you out of home,
Giving you no right to protest,
Trampling on your culture,
And you were plunged into madness by the loss of dignity?
Palestine in exile suffers
The opulence of Israel
For an all-powerful government
Prepared for war
By you know whom.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
In the name of Israel.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
Stones against bullets
A new intifada
In the West Bank, Gaza, or Jerusalem.
Who could imagine
That David would become Goliath? (x2)
Intifada, intifada, intifada — liberation!
Don’t get me wrong,
Nor do I differentiate people
By their race, culture, or religion .
I only condemn oppression,
Injustice, and
The abuse of power.
Palestine is subjected to
The toughest wars,
The opulence of Israel.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
In the name of Israel.
Dead, dead!
In whose name?
Dead, dead!
Stones against bullets
A new intifada
In the West Bank, Gaza, or Jerusalem.
Who could imagine
That David would become Goliath?
Who could imagine(x4)
Intifada, intifada, intifada — liberation! (x2)
For those who are interested in hearing the song, search for it in 'you tube' under the title Intifada.

CALL IT A JOKE
An hour later, the zoo worker gets his van fixed and heads to the zoo. On the road, he sees the bus driver and the penguins driving in the opposite direction. He catches up to the bus and pulls them over.
The zoo worker yells, "I gave you a $100 to take the penguins to the zoo for me. Why are you still driving them around?"
"Calm down," the bus driver says, "I took the penguins to the zoo. We had change left over, so now I'm taking them to the movies."

IN THE LIMELIGHT
Although it is not known why the actress has been ordered by a judge in Beverly Hills, California, to appear it is rumoured she is not complying with a court ordered alcohol education course.
Lindsay, 23, was ordered to take the course as part of her three-year probation for a charge of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in 2007.
Gossip website TMZ claims sources running the education course contacted the court about Lindsay's conduct and that she has been "outright violating the terms of the programme".
The court order was made during a routine progress report on Wednesday (14.10.09). Records show no warrant has been issued, suggesting it is unlikely a probation violation has occurred.
However, if the judge determines Lindsay has violated the terms of the programme, her probation could be revoked and she could be jailed.
Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, has raised his concerns about his daughter, saying he thinks she is addicted to prescription drugs and is planning to stage an intervention and force her to get professional help.
He said: "I'm going to get her off the prescription drugs that she's on. I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse because it's not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you.
"Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop."
Lindsay famously served just 84 minutes behind bars in 2007 before being placed on probation after pleading guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine, and no contest to two counts of drunken driving and one count of reckless driving.
EVENTS AT WILLPOWER
How about some facts and figures about the film?The shooting schedule added up to 54 countries,217 days'shooting and 488 hours of footage! Three film crews worked simultaneously for 21 months in all four corners of the Earth.It's the first ever movie that is 100% aerial footage!
There are the pictures. There's the text. And then there's the music, which accompanies, flies, reveals emotions. It lends movement to the pictures of the film and the emotion that its vision provokes is exacerbated by the soundtrack. Just stunning!
The movie shows the genious of human beings and their ability to adapt to their environment...or to adapt it. And the big question is, 'How do we choose to exploit our genious?''
Let's just think about it!!!
In brief, the Prof students and myself absolutely enjoyed the documentary as much as the pizza we had! ;)
