Letter From The Editor Welcome back readers.

This is our final issue-our graduation issue.

Once again students found, wrote and edited their own writings/stories with some or no help from me.

Some students continued their line of writing from the previous issue, others picked new topics for this magazine.

Once again, they wrote in their own style. Again, I decided not to interfere with my students’ work, unless necessary.

Forgive us we you see any grammatical, syntactical or orthographical errors.

I want to thank my students for participating and spending some of their free time in a creative way! I wish them the best of luck in whatever they choose to do!

By Stella Barbari C’3

Ingredients 

250g digestive biscuits



100g butter, melted



1 vanilla pod



600g soft cheese



100g icing sugar



284ml pot double cream

For the topping 

400g punnet strawberries, halved and stoned



25g icing sugar

Method 

EQUIPMENT: 23cm loose-bottomed tin, baking parchment, plastic food bag, rolling pin, large bowl, dessert spoon, chopping board, kitchen knife, electric mixer, spatula, serving plate, blender or food processor, sieve



Make the base: Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment. Put 250g digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over100g melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.



Remove the vanilla seeds from 1 pod: Slice the vanilla pod in half lengthways, leaving the tip intact, so that the two halves are still joined.

Holding onto the tip of the pod, scrape out the seeds using the back of a kitchen knife.

the edges inwards and making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula.

Leave to set in the fridge overnight.

Un-moulding and topping: Bring the cheesecake to room temperature, about 30 mins before serving. To un-mould, place the base on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down.

Once butter is melted, add the chopped chocolate. Stir until melted. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a shallow dish.  Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, until firm.  Roll the mixture into 2 to 3cm balls. For best results, use a melon baller, though a small teaspoon can also be used. Roll each ball in the cocoa powder.

The meaning of life

By Stella Barbari C’3 What is life? They say it is from B to D. From Birth to Death, but what is between B and D? It is a “C” so what is a C? It is a choice. Our life is a matter of choices. Live well and it will never go wrong. The trick is to enjoy life.

Don’t wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead.

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating your life. The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. The meaning of life is to give life a meaning. We are visitors on this planet.

We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives, if you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.

Sergio Ramos

By Konstantinos Akalestos C’1 Sergio Ramos García (born 30 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid and Spain national football team. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a right back.

Ramos is a complete and tenacious defender, who is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world. He is a strong player who excels in the air, making him a goal threat on set-pieces, and he is also a competent, aggressive tackler. He is gifted with pace, good technical ability, as well as good distribution and crossing ability. He has been criticised, however, for his lack of discipline at times, and he holds the record for the most red cards obtained by a Real Madrid player. Due to his leadership, his athletic and technical prowess, his ability to excel both offensively and defensively, as well as his tactical versatility, which allows him to be deployed as a centre back and as a full back, manager Carlo Ancelotti has compared him to legendary defender Paolo Maldini.

After emerging through Sevilla's youth system, Ramos went on to be a mainstay for Real Madrid. He acted as vice-captain for the latter, also being one of La Liga's top scorers from a defensive position.[6] Internationally Ramos competed with the Spanish national team in three World Cups and two European Championships, winning the former tournament in 2010 and the latter in 2008 and 2012. He made his first appearance at the age of 18 and, in 2013, he became the youngest player to ever reach 100 caps.

Club career

Sevilla] Born in Camas, Seville, Andalusia, Ramos began his career at local side Sevilla FC, emerging through the club's youth system alongside Jesús Navas and Antonio Puerta. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on

1st February 2004, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.

In the 2004–05 season, Ramos appeared in 41 games as Sevilla finished sixth and qualified to the UEFA Cup, scoring in home fixtures against Real Sociedad (2–1) and Real Madrid (2–2).

Real Madrid 2005–2008 In the summer of 2005, 19-year-old Ramos was purchased by Real Madrid for €27 million, a record for a Spanish teenager. He was the only Spanish player brought in during Florentino Pérez's first stint as Real's president.

At the club, Ramos was assigned the number 4 shirt, previously worn

by Fernando Hierro. On 6 December 2005 he netted his first goal for the Merengues, in a 2–3 UEFA Champions League group stage loss at Olympiacos FC.

During his first seasons, Ramos played as centre back, being also used as an emergency defensive midfielder on occasion. However, with the arrival of Christoph Metzelder and Pepe in the 2007–08 season, he was again relocated to right back. In his first four seasons at Real Madrid, Ramos displayed a goalscoring instinct unusual to many defenders, netting more than 20 goals overall. On 4 May 2008, he assisted Gonzalo Higuaín in the 89th minute against CA Osasuna in an eventual 2–1 away win, the match that sealed the club's 31st league championship. On the final day of the season, he scored twice in a 5–2 home win against already relegated Levante UD: one through a header, and another an individual effort; these goals taking his league tally for the 2007–2008 season to five.

Ramos scored a vital goal in the Spanish Supercup contest against Valencia CF, making it 2–1 in an eventual 4–2 and 6–5 aggregate win despite the fact Real Madrid playing with only nine men for a long period of time. Although he experienced a slight dip in form, he returned to his best and on 11 January 2009, netted on an acrobatic volley in a 3–0 triumph at RCD Mallorca;

continuing his scoring run in the following week in a 3–1 home win against Osasuna.

Ramos was named in both FIFA and UEFA's 2008 Team of the Year, adding the FIFA Pro Team of the Year 2007–08 accolade. He also finished 21st in the European Player of the Year nomination for 2008.

2009–10 season At the start of the 2009–10 season, Ramos was appointed as one of Real Madrid's four captains. Because Pepe had suffered a serious knee injury during this campaign, Ramos was often deployed as central defender. Ramos scored four goals in 33 league matches; and, on 21 February 2010 he played his 200th official match for the capital team against Villarreal CF (150 in the first division). Despite these personal highlights for Sergio Ramos, this season was a disappointing one for his side, with Los Blancos finishing the campaign without picking up any silverware.

2010–11 season In Real Madrid's 0–5 loss at FC Barcelona on 29 November 2010, Ramos was sent off after kicking Lionel Messi from behind, then pushing Carles Puyol in the ensuing melée. After this ejection, he equalled Fernando Hierro's previous record for red cards at the club, despite having played in 264 fewer games.

Eminem

By Andreas Mytilinaios and Mikeliano Miti Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3

American rapper, record producer and actor Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri.

He never knew his father, Marshall Mathers Jr., who abandoned the family when Eminem was still an infant and rebuffed all of his son's many attempts to contact him during his childhood. As a result, Eminem was raised by his mother, Deborah Mathers. She never managed to hold down a job for more than several months at a time, so they moved frequently between Missouri and Detroit, Michigan, spending large chunks of time in public housing projects. He would change schools two or three times a year.

OUR ENVIRONMENT RECYCLING PROGRAMS ARE CREATED TO ELIMINATE CONSUMER GUILT

By Elias Samaltanis C’4

The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living occuring naturally on Earth or some region there of. It is an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species.

Climate, weather, and natural resources that affect human survival and economic activity. 



The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components: Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without massive civilized human intervention, including all vegetation, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere, and natural phenomena that occur within their boundaries Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut boundaries, such as air, water, and climate as well as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating from civilized human activity

Land management policies have been developed to preserve the natural characteristics of Hopetoun Falls,Australia while allowing ample access for visitors

25

Bachalpsee in the Swiss Alps; generally mountainous areas are less affected by human activity.

In contrast to the natural environment is the built environment. In such areas where man has fundamentally transformed landscapes such as urban settings and agricultural land conversion, the natural environment is greatly modified and diminished, with a much more simplified human environment largely replacing it. Even events which seem less extreme such as hydroelectric dam construction, or solar array construction in the desert, the natural environment is substantially altered.

It is difficult to find absolutely natural environments, and it is common that the naturalness varies in a continuum, from ideally 100% natural in one extreme to 0% natural in the other. More precisely, we can consider the different aspects and components of an environment, and see that their degree of naturalness is not uniform. If, for instance, we take an agricultural field, and consider the mineralogic composition and the structure of its soil, we will find that whereas the first is quite similar to that of an undisturbed forest soil, the structure is quite different.

Natural environment is often used as a synonym for habitat. For instance, when we say that the natural environment of giraffes is the savanna.

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.

A Film Review

By Athina Valentaki Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;1

Confessions of a Shopacholic

Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a shopping addict who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter). She works as a journalist for a gardening magazine but dreams of joining the fashion magazine Alette. On the way to an interview with Alette, she buys a green scarf.

Her credit card is declined, so Rebecca goes to a hot dog stand and offers to buy all the hot dogs with a check, if the seller gives her back change in cash, saying the scarf

is to be a gift for her sick aunt. The hot dog vendor refuses but a man offers her $20.

When Rebecca arrives at the interview, she's told that the position has been filled. However, the receptionist tells her there is an open position with the magazine Successful Savings, explaining that getting a job at Successful Savings could eventually lead to a position at Alette magazine. Rebecca interviews with Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), the editor of Successful Savings and the man who just gave her the $20. She hides her scarf outside his office, but Luke's assistant comes into the office and gives it back to her. Rebecca knows the game is up and leaves.

That evening, drunk, she and Suze write letters to Alette and Successful Savings, but she mails each to the wrong magazine. Luke likes the letter she meant to send to Alette and hires her. Rather than completing a work assignment for a new column, Rebecca goes to a clothing sale. While inspecting a cashmere coat she has just purchased, she realizes it is not 100% cashmere and she has been duped. This gives her an idea for the column, which she writes under the name "The Girl in the Green Scarf" and is an instant success.

DOLPHINS

By Paraskevi Fokianou Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;5

Dolphins are marine mammals that belong to the same family as whales. There are about 17 dolphins genera and 40 species. The description relates mainly to "genuine dolphins" subfamily Delphinidae, but extends to other species such as those of the family Platanistidon and Stenidon.

The adult size varies from 1.2 meters to 40 kg, as the dolphin kind Maui's Dolphin, up to 9.5 meters and 10 tons, as the orca. Found in almost all the seas of the world, and some large rivers such as the Amazon and the Yangtze River in China. They are carnivores and feed mainly on fish and squid. At night the females sleep on the water surface, while the males emerge every half hour to breathe.

The family Delphinidae is the largest of Cetaceans and evolutionary perspective on news. Dolphins appeared before about ten million years ago, during the Miocene.

Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals and have become popular among people for centuries for their playful behavior and their friendly appearance.

Trip in Ikaria!!

By Kiriaki Chanioti C’5

It was Sunday morning when we caught the ferryboat to Ikaria. It was so hot when we arrived to the port of Evdilos, that we almost melted like an ice cream! We stayed in my brother’s house, not very far from the port. The window view was superb! From my balcony window, I had a view of the sea and a lot of trees.

On Monday, we went to the beach Seychelles! To get there, you have to climb down a mountain and jump on to some rocks! It’s difficult, but once you get there, you can admire green waters and pebbles. It was amazing!

Did you hear about what happened at the Laundromat last night? Three clothes-pins held up two shirts!

I was once in a play called ‘’Breakfast in Bed.’’ Did you have a big role? No just toast and marmalade!

Q: What’s the best way to ensure that you’ll always remember you wife’s birthday? A: Forget it once.

Teacher: Why is the Mississippi such an unusual river? Student: Because it has four eyes and can’t see!

Teacher: Now class, whatever I ask, I want you to all answer at once. How much is 6 + 4? Class: At once!

A 25-year-old man went and asked his dad, ‘’Dad, give me ten dollars.’’ The dad replied, ‘’Son, don’t you think you are a bit old to be asking your dad for ten dollars?’’ And the son replies, ‘’Very well, give me hundred dollars then!’’

A girl comes home from school and tells her mom, crying, ‘’Mom, today the teacher yelled at me for something that I didn’t do!’’ And the mom said, ‘’That’s very bad of your teacher. What was it that she thought you did?’’ ‘’My homework.’’

A manager walked past an employee’s desk and asked him, ‘’Why are you not working?’’ The employee replied, ‘’Because I never saw you coming, Sir!’’ A new psychology teacher shouted angrily, ‘’If you think you are an idiot then stand up, now!’’ After some time, no one moved. Then a student said, ‘’Mr. Kaplan, you are the only one who is standing.’’

A new student joined the class. After asking the student’s name, the teacher said, ‘’What does your father do?’’ And the student replied, ‘’Whatever Mom says!’’

A teacher saw one of his students was sleeping in the classroom. He said to another student to wake him up. The student said, ‘’Mr. Smith, you put him to sleep, so you better wake him up.’’

A woman went to a doctor and said, ‘’When I looked in the mirror this morning, I saw that my hair was frizzy, my skin was wrinkly, and my eyes were bloodshot-what is wrong with me, Doctor?’’ The doctor replied, ‘’Well the good news is that your eyesight is fine.’’

After Johnny answered a question correctly, the teacher then said, ‘’Johnny, tell me an important incident which has never happened before, within recent history.’’ And Johnny replied, ‘’I answered correctly today!’’

Dad#1: My boy doesn’t listen to anything I say. Dad#2: Is he

that stubborn? Dad#1: No, he is deaf.

The Naming of the Days The Greeks named the days week after the sun, the moon and the five known planets, which were in turn named after the gods Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Cronus. The Greeks called the days of the week the Theon hemerai "days of the Gods". The Romans substituted their equivalent gods for the Greek gods, Mars, Mercury, Jove (Jupiter), Venus, and Saturn. (The two pantheons are very similar.) The Germanic peoples generally substituted roughly similar gods for the Roman gods, Tiu (Twia), Woden, Thor, Freya (Fria), but did not substitute Saturn.

Sunday -- Sun's day Middle English sone(n)day or sun(nen)day Old English sunnandæg "day of the sun" Germanic sunnon-dagaz "day of the sun" Latin dies solis "day of the sun" Ancient Greek hemera heli(o)u, "day of the sun" Monday -- Moon's day Middle English monday or mone(n)day Old English mon(an)dæg "day of the moon" Latin dies lunae "day of the moon" Ancient Greek hemera selenes "day of the moon" Tuesday -- Tiu's day Middle English tiwesday or tewesday Old English tiwesdæg "Tiw's (Tiu's) day" Latin dies Martis "day of Mars" Ancient Greek hemera Areos "day of Ares" Tiu (Twia) is the English/Germanic god of war and the sky. He is identified with the Norse god Tyr. Mars is the Roman god of war. Ares is the Greek god of war.

Wednesday -- Woden's day Middle English wodnesday, wednesday, or wednesdai Old English wodnesdæg "Woden's day" Latin dies Mercurii "day of Mercury" Ancient Greek hemera Hermu "day of Hermes" Woden is the chief Anglo-Saxon/Teutonic god.

Mercury is the Roman god of commerce, travel, theivery, eloquence and science. He is the messenger of the other gods.

Hermes is the Greek god of commerce, invention, cunning, and theft. He is

the messenger and herald of the other gods. He serves as patron of travelers and rogues, and as the conductor of the dead to Hades.

Thursday -- Thor's day Middle English thur(e)sday Old English thursdæg Old Norse thorsdagr "Thor's day" Old English thunresdæg "thunder's day" Latin dies Jovis "day of Jupiter" Ancient Greek hemera Dios "day of Zeus".
