Useful Information on Military Academies and Entering One
Military academies or military schools are institutions which accept students from elementary to high school. Some only accept boys (as traditional military academies do) and some are coeducational. Some are for day students only, and some also accept boarding students.
While military academy traditions vary a lot across schools, their common denominator is the strong military influence in their daily operations. In most of these schools, students and staff wear military-style uniforms, hold military-based ranks (lieutenant, cadets, etc.), use merit and demerit systems, and others. Students are expected to be disciplined, pick up after themselves, keep their rooms and lockers clean, and obey their teachers. There's a great emphasis on these values, and students face punishment for any incursion made on the school rules.
Military school education is also associated with excellence and structure. Students are closely monitored during study hall and their progress is followed by faculty members. At an early age, students become aware of the need to follow a structure in their daily schedule and to prioritize their tasks. They wake up early in the morning and sleep early in the evening. It's not all military activities, though. Like any other college preparatory boarding school, military boarding schools also have excellent facilities for athletics and arts. Aside from military-inspired activities (like riflery, marching band, JROTC, etc.), it's not unusual for these academies to have good sports programs and extracurricular activities that will help them enjoy a more well-rounded education.
These kinds of academies are also often mistaken for boot camps for troubled teens. The truth is that military academies often only accept young people who show great potential for achievement and leadership, who are self-starters and have a drive for excellence. There's often a long waiting list for such academies and the students who get in usually have stellar academic records as well as endorsements from community leaders. The admission process is quite stringent, consistent of exams, interviews, and writing essays. They also don't come cheap. Like many college preparatory boarding schools, a military academy education is quite expensive. Sometimes even coming up to about $40,000 per year or more.
Not all students who study in military academies plan to pursue a career in the military, though. Students who are driven, disciplined, and equipped with the finest education often go on to become leaders in different fields. The benefit of sending your child to a military academy is helping them set higher goals, expect more from themselves, and have a strong sense of responsibility and moral values. Such academies concentrate on these issues and aim to produce fine young men and women who will be responsible members of society.
For young people who have other needs, there are other types of schools that may better serve their needs. For example, there are alternative schools that have wilderness programs or therapeutic boarding schools that provides individualized counseling and therapy for students. It's important to find the right fit for your child and a place where he/she will flourish and blossom and realize his/her potential.

I Love Touring Italy - Springtime In Abruzzi
The small region of Abruzzi of central Italy lies on the Adriatic Sea. It's quite traditional and is a fine place to see the "real" Italy. In this region early spring is likely to be fairly chilly, and late spring can resemble summer. March 19 is the Festa di San Giuseppe's (Saint Joseph's Day), which is celebrated in many parts of Italy including Abruzzi. The village of Rocca Pia, home to about 200 people, holds a religious ceremony complete with a traditional meal of beans and pork rind. In the small town of Fara San Martino, population 1600, the focus is on a huge bonfire. The little village of Civitella Alfedena, population some 300, lies in the heart of the beautiful Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise that covers three regions and englobes some two dozen municipalities. On March 26 it holds an Exhibition of arts and popular traditions.
On the first Thursday in May the village of Cocullo, home to about 300, hosts a Snake Handlers' Procession in which a statue of St. Dominic, the town's patron, covered with live serpents is carried through the town. Thousands of people follow this solemn procession through the village, accompanied by a band. Some people have come for the snakes and others for the fireworks and subsequent banquet. There is even a breakfast at the foot of the hill.
The city of Pratola Peligna, population some 8 thousand, hosts The Festival of the Madonna della Libera in early May. This festival involves literally thousands of people, especially on the weekends. The streets are specially lit and brass bands play all day. Food specialties include hot porchetta and warm roasted peanuts. Major highlights include the welcoming of pilgrims who walk 42 km from the small town of Gioia de Marsi and the procession of La Madonna's statue from the church through the town's historic streets. On Saturday night there is a quite spectacular fireworks display.
The last Sunday in May the small town of Rocca di Mezzo, population 1500, holds a daffodil festival attracting thousands of people who have come to greet the spring. Saturday night the wagons are festooned with thousands of daffodils. Sunday afternoon they parade through the town. Unlike many other Abruzzi festivals this one is not rooted in time immemorial. It was started in 1947 by soldiers returning from World War.
The medieval town of Loreto Aprutino, population about 7,500, hosts the Festa di San Zopito to honor their patron saint on the Monday after Pentecost, for example on May 24, 2010. Please note, because the Easter calendar is complicated, this festival may be in summer, for example on June 12, 2011. According to tradition, in 1711 the remains of the Christian martyr Zopito were in transport from the catacombs of San Callisto in Rome. A farmer tending his fields failed to stop working and pay his respects to the passing procession. But his white ox genuflected in front of the statue of the saint and the urn. The villagers were really impressed and since then every year a white ox is trained to kneel and gets 40 days off from working in the fields. A young child dressed as an angel, holding a red carnation in his mouth and sporting a lace umbrella, sits atop the adorned ox as it wends its way through the medieval streets stopping and genuflecting at every church.

Great Hymn Writers Part 3
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
Newman was born in London on February 21st, 1801, the eldest of six children. His father, John Newman, was a banker. His mother, Jamima, was a member of the Fourdonier family. In 1808 he was enrolled at a private school in Ealing. As a boy he was a voracious reader, especially of the Bible. In 1816 he had a conversion experience. The religious background to this was of a somewhat evangelical character. This also was the year of the collapse of his father's banking business. It was only as the result of a scholarship that he was able to enter Trinity College, Oxford, in 1817. In 1822 he was elected a Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. Edward Bouverie Pusey, with whom he was to be associated closely in later years, was elected the same year.
In 1825 Newman was ordained as a priest of the Church of England and 1828 he became Vicar of St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford. He retained this post until 1843. During the earlier years of his time at St. Mary's Newman began to question his former evangelical views. In 1833 he preached his famous sermon on 'National Apostasy', which could be regarded as the beginning of the Oxford Movement in the Church of England. The two other great figures were Keble and Froude, along with Pusey somewhat later. Newman published the first 'Tract for the Times' in the same year. A considerable number of tracts were written by these men, all priests of the Church of England over a number of years.
This resulted in the Oxford Movement also being known as 'Tractarianism'. They sought to recapture the Catholic heritage of the Church of England. In 1845, having finally come to the view that the Church of England could not be a true home to his Catholic beliefs, Newman was received into the Roman Church. In 1847 he was ordained to the Roman priesthood in Rome and was created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1878. He published his account of his journey of faith in the book entitled 'Apologia Pro Vita Sua' in1864. Newman founded the English Oratory in 1848. He preached his last sermon in 1888 and died in Birmingham on August 11th, 1890. The well known and frequently used hymns in Anglican hymnals which were written by Newman are, Firmly I believe and truly; Lead, kindly light and Praise to the holiest in the hight. He is also known for his translation of Come, Holy Ghost, who ever one.
JOHN MASON NEALE
J. M. Neale (1818 – 1866) was an English divine, scholar and hymn writer. He was born in London, his father being an Anglican priest, the Rev'd. Cornelius Neale. He was educated at Trinity College Cambridge where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. He was ordained in 1841, but due to poor health was only able to take up an appointment in 1846 when he became warden of Sackville College. This was an alms-house in East Grinstead. He held this post until his relatively early death.
In 1854 Neale co-founded the Society of St. Margaret, a Church of England womens' religious nursing order. Many Anglicans at that period though were suspicious of anything suggestive of Roman Catholicism. The Tractarians had sought to re-establish the Catholic heritage of the Church of England, and just nine years previous to this one of the leaders of the movement, John Henry Newman had been received into the Roman Church. All this suggested to many that people such as Neale with their Catholic sympathies were in reality agents of the Vatican endeavouring to subvert Anglicanism from within. This backlash sometimes became violent, the Protestants encouraging mobs to invade services and the like. Neale was threatened with violence on several occasions. He was actually attacked once when conducting the funeral service for one of the Sisters. He encountered opposition also from Church authorities for the same reason, including a fourteen years inhibition by his bishop. He received no preferment or honour in England, and his doctorate was bestowed by an American college, Trinity College, Connecticut.
However, his basic goodness eventually won the confidence of many who had previously bitterly opposed him. The Sisterhood of St. Margaret survived and prospered. Neale translated the liturgies of the Eastern Church into English and wrote a mystical and devotional commentary on the Psalms. However, he is best remembered as a hymn writer, and especially as a translator of many ancient and medieval hymns from their original Latin and Greek. More than any other single person he enriched the worship of English-speaking congregations by making them aware of the heritage of centuries of Latin, Greek, Russian and Syrian hymns on which they could draw. His translations include: All Glory, Laud and Honour, Sing My Tongue, the Glorious Battle, To Thee Before the Close of Day, and O Come, O Come, Emmanuel! He is commemorated in Anglican Church Calendars on August 04 and in some Lutheran Calendars on July 01.
Sir Henry Williams BAKER, Bart.
Continuing the series on Hymn Writers of the Church: Sir H. W. Baker is a name we see frequently in our hymn books. As well as being a prolific hymn writer he was also an eminent priest of the Church of England. He was born in London in 1821, the son of Vice Admiral Sir Henry Loraine Baker. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated BA in 1844. he took holy orders in 1844, and became vicar of Monkland, Herefordshire in 1851, which benefice he held until death. He succeeded to the baronetcy also in 1851. He is best known as editor in chief of Hymns Ancient and Modern, to which he contributed a number of his hymns.
This hymnal sold 60,000,000 copies and its successors Hymns Ancient and Modern Revised and Hymns Ancient and Modern New Standard (which we currently use) still enjoy considerable popularity throughout the Anglican Communion, with the exception of the Episcopal Church of the United States of American and the Church of Ireland. A critique of Baker's work says, 'Of his hymns four only are of the highest strain of jubilation, another four are bright and cheerful, and the remainder are very tender but exceedingly plaintive, sometimes even to sadness.' The language of his hymns is smooth and simple, the thought is correct and sometimes very beautifully expressed. Best known of his hymns, a number of which are frequently sung here in S. Margaret's, are O God of love, O King of peace, The King of love my Shepherd is, Praise, O praise, our God and King, Lord, thy word abideth, My Father, for another night, and O praise ye the Lord. Baker was also the translator of the version of O sacred head surrounded which we use in Holy Week.
He also wrote two well known hymn tunes, St. Timothy and Stephanos. Baker died on February 12, 1877. His last audible words were a quotation from the third verse of his own exquisite rendering of the twenty-third Psalm, The King of love my Shepherd is. Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed But yet in love he sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home rejoicing brought me.

Effective Use of Music in Movies
One of the main contributing factors to a movie's success is its soundtrack. Music is an essential element in most plays and dramas. Shakespeare made efficient use of music in his famous plays. Movie makers realize that a lot of the movie's business at the box office depends upon the music recording. There are many ways to incorporate songs in a movie. Musicals are one genre which is exclusively based on songs and lyrics. However, even if it is an action movie, filmmakers find ways to include some soundtracks into it.
In fact, Bollywood films are renowned for the excessive song and dance sequences they have. Hollywood movies too use orchestral or synthesizer score or even a new hit song to add to the interest element. Sometimes a movie's popularity is increased by its musical score. Celine Dion’s “My heart will go on” for Titanic stayed on in public memory long after the movie left the cinema halls. The soundtrack of Love Story is one of the most enduring ever, and who doesn't download music from Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. Many a times, blockbusters become classics because of their excellent scores. Hence, composers and song writers are in great demand in Hollywood.
There are different types of motion picture music. One is the underscore category like the score for Steven Spielberg's E.T. Another is the category of original recording like “Hungry Heart” for the movie Perfect Storm. Finally there is the song that is written especially for a movie like “Over the rainbow” for the hugely popular Wizard of Oz. Each of these types is used frequently in movies and requires different recordings, contracts and royalties.
Songs are used in movies to show all kinds of emotions. A romantic setting is enhanced by an appropriate love song. Similarly music has been used to make people laugh and cry. In fact the story itself can be narrated through cleverly inserted songs. Moreover, with a great background score, emotions and dialogs acquire more significance. If a producer wants to use an existing soundtrack for his movie, he can do so by negotiating with the music producer. Often, a pre-existing, hit song can help create the mood required in the movie. The soundtracks of many movies come out and go on to become huge hits in their own right. These days with digital music recording, adding new songs to movies is becoming easier.
My Fair Lady was a complete musical whose main claim to fame was the witty use of lyrics to show every mood. Similarly, Chicago and Moulin Rouge used songs and extravagant dances to create the required atmosphere. Even if the movie does not use songs every other minute, it will show action with a background score playing regularly. Who can forget the scenes of Psycho with the spine tingling music in the background? The audio mastering was such here that the score heightens the audience's fear and any time one hears the music he quickly associates it with Psycho. Such is the power of appropriate music in cinema!

Is this the Moonlight Sonata or the Moonlight Sonata plus another song?
Does someone mind telling me if this song is the Moonlight Sonata all the way through, about half way through, it sounds like a seperate song: http://www.familiesties.com/MidiFiles/m/moonlightsonata.mid
That's the Moonlight Sonata, alright, the entire thing, all three movements.
What you're hearing in the middle is the second movement, followed by the third movement closer to the end.
The most famous bit at the beginning is the first movement.
