Best Answer
The Victorian International School of Sharjah — designed by Victorian firm Taylor Oppenheim Architects, run by a Victorian principal Rob Blachford and staffed by a team of Victorian teachers — opens in September. With classes taught in English, the school will cater for both local and expatriate children and will initially take students from kindergarten to year 9 before expanding into year 10 to 12 in 2008. Both the VCE and Victorian Essential Learning Standards will be offered at the coeducational school, which will eventually cater for 2600 students. For Maribyrnong College physical education and health teacher Erin Ripley the chance to work overseas while still teaching a familiar curriculum was an opportunity too good to miss.

if i die in a combat zone box me up and ship me home by tim o'brien is a good book. i had to do it for summer reading and write a review in class. there are a lot of underlying themes and contrasting characters you can talk about plus it's about vietnam so it's not totally boring

You could do "1984" it is good and your teachers should like it. If you Miss something they will probably cut you some slack to.

What law books should I read to prepare for law school

What law books should I read to prepare for law school?
I would like to prepare for my first year in law school. I am looking to purchase books on torts, contracts, civil procedure, constitutional law, and criminal law. Any recommendations on which books to read? I've heard Gilbert's Law Reviews have good outlines, but is it easy to read and understand? Please advise.

Emanuel's is a good outline - I liked it better than Gilbert's. Examples & Explanations is also good. For class, you should get High Court Case Notes, which are keyed to your textbooks and summarizes each case in the book. You do not need to purchase any books on the above topics until you get your book list though. The books are very expensive and you do not want to get the wrong book. You should take it easy before heading to law school. Maybe read 1L or watch the Paper Chase. But, to begin reading textbooks is not something I would advise you do. You will be doing enough of that when school starts!!!!!

Would my high school grades have any benefit when I enlist in the Air Force

Would my high school grades have any benefit when I enlist in the Air Force?
My orginal plan was to apply and hopefully attend the air force academy in colorado. But after taking my sat's and reviewing my overall high school grades, ive accepted that it will not happen. Insteat, im planning on enlisting in the Air Force and go to college that way. Although not good enough for the academy, my grades are still pretty proficient. I was wondering if good grades in high school would make any difference when I enlist?

There is also the afrotc "scholarship program" and "college program." While most "scholarship program" scholarships are awarded to students planning on technical majors, that is not the case with "college program" scholarships. Are your grades and SAT scores competitive for the "scholarship program": http://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/hsschol/eligibility.php It is also possible to prep for a year and then apply to the Academy: http://academic.nmmi.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=2&poid=8&bc=1 http://www.nmmi.edu/prep/faq.htm http://www.nmmi.edu/business/newcosts.htm http://www.nmmi.edu/FinancialAid/index.htm There is financial aid available for students with identified need, however a student must fill out the FAFSA by May 1 to have priority: http://www.nmmi.edu/FinancialAid/index.htm The college will make a financial award based on the information submitted. It is not uncommon for a very expensive private university to end up costing less out of pocket than a low cost public university. AFROTC is available at many junior colleges through cross town school agreements: http://airforcerotc.berkeley.edu/_crosstown-schools.htm [20 of the 36 cross town schools are junior colleges.] It is also possible to direct commission to the Air Force through USMMA: http://www.usmma.edu/military/usaf/index.htm http://www.usmma.edu/military/ Calculate regular military compensation at the link. Location makes a significant difference due to the housing allowance(BAH.) Single Enlisted Sailors and Coasties ranking below E-5, Enlisted Marines and Soldiers ranking below E-7, Enlisted Airmen below E-4 live in the barracks and do not collect BAH: http://www.defenselink.mil/militarypay/mpcalcs/Calculators/RMC.aspx 2nd Lt( Army, Air Force, Marines) = Ensign(Navy, C.G.) = O-1. 1st Lt( Army, Air Force, Marines) = Lt JG(Navy, C.G.) = O-2. Captain( Army, Air Force, Marines)= Lt(Navy, C.G.) = O-3. Advancement to O-2 around the 18th month. Advancement to O-3 by about 42nd month Good Luck!

No, all they care about is that you have the diploma.

Answer 2
I think only college credits can give you any benefits. I'm joining the army and I'm going to promoted up one rank with that alone.

Answer 3
No, but learning more now will help with your ASVAB. It will also help when you enlist, if you want to do college while on active duty. Trust me, the more study now the easier it will be to study when you enlist.

Answer 5
They will actually be more interested in your ASVAB score.

Best Answer
I was a college admissions officer for 3 years. Although I've never heard of reviewing all applications from one school and then moving on to another school, it is also good to note that many admissions reps have clearly defined territories and are responsible for all the schools in a particular territory. This means that admissions officers are often quite familiar with the specifics of individual schools and can judge some things about the caliber of student applications on the basis of their class rank, gpa, and test scores within the specific school system the student belongs to.

Whom should I contact in order to get a press pass to an early viewing of a film for my high school newspaper

Whom should I contact in order to get a press pass to an early viewing of a film for my high school newspaper?
Help! I'm writing a movie review of the Twilight Movie (coming out November 21) for my school's publication and I'm trying to figure out whom I should contact in order to see the movie before the release date. I know movie critics do it, because the reviews come out several days before the movie is released. Should I talk to the studio? The distribution company? The production company? Thanks for the help.

Here's where you start: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/ Production Companies * Imprint Entertainment * Maverick Films * Summit Entertainment * Temple Hill Entertainment * Twilight Productions Start Date: February 2008 Release Date: 21 November 2008 Production Co: Imprint Entertainment 100 Universal City Plaza Bungalow #7152 Universal City, CA 91608 USA Phn: 818-733-5410 info@Imprint-Ent.com Distributor: Summit Entertainment Santa Monica, CA: 1630 Stewart St. Ste. 120 Santa Monica, CA 90404 USA Phn: 310-309-8400 Fax: 310-828-4132 http://www.summit-ent.com/ You'll likely want to send a very nicely written email to Imprint Entertainment/Universal with your request. What likely will happen is that there may be a screening for "entertainment journalists" about a week prior to the premiere. A few days after that, on a weekend, the studio will host a "press junket" at a hotel where the "entertainment journalists" are invited to interview the key cast as well as the Director and Producers. You are not trying to contact any of the filmmakers to get access to the screening. Instead, you need to speak with someone in Universal marketing. Email and/or call (very very nicely!) until you reach the person who can tell you yes or no. Good luck! Brian Dzyak Cameraman/Author IATSE Local 600, SOC http://www.whatireallywanttodo.com
