PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s most colorful day of the year came May 8 as the Presidio opened its doors and welcomed a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 during its 31st hosting of Language Day. Attendees were treated to a diversity of songs, skits, dances, classroom demonstrations as well as food and wares that represented the cultures of 23 languages studied here at the military’s preeminent language training facility. Also in attendance were 54 combat veterans of the Vietnam War, honored guests during a “Welcome Home” ceremony led by Col.

Although 16-year-old Lee So-hee attends high school in a city that’s home to a big U.S. Army base, she’d felt fearful of meeting foreigners, let alone trying to speak to them in English.
But that changed in a matter of hours after Lee and 31 other 10-graders from the Dongducheon Foreign Language High School took part in a two-day “English Camp” hosted by the U.S. Army in Dongducheon July 24 and 25.
The students visited Camp Casey in Dongducheon and Camp Red Cloud in Uijeongbu for an up-close glimpse at life inside the installation gates, combined with a chance to use English.
“Before I went here I was afraid of meeting foreigners and speaking [with] foreigners,” said Lee. “However, after this program, I could meet foreigner comfortable and my thinking was changes. The foreigners was very kind.”
The U.S. Army in Area I hosts the English Camp visits periodically under the U.S. Forces Korea’s Good Neighbor Program, which aims to foster good relations between the U.S. military and the South Korean public.
At Casey they toured the post fire station, visited the 6th Battalion, 37th Field Artillery, and were shown around the Carey Physical Fitness Center. At Camp Red Cloud they toured the 2nd Infantry Division Museum.
Lunch both days was at Camp Casey, first at the Gateway Club, next day at the golf club.
There was also an informal discussion time at which the students got to exercise their conversational English skills by talking with U.S. Soldiers at the Camp Casey Community Activity Center.
“By learning English,” Lee said, “I can understand the other cultures and I can speak with various cultures’ people. And the English, studying English was very interest for me.”
Student Hwang Ji-eun had a similar reaction.
“Before, I was so nervous to talk with foreigners, but with this experience I can more fluent. I can talk with foreigners more fluently so it was useful for me.
“Actually, it was the first time to visit the Army,” said Hwang. “So, first I was so nervous. But the system is so good so I want to go here next time.”
Besides the chance to improve English skills the program affords the students a look at a culture different from their own, said Shin Jae-ouck, one of two teachers who accompanied the students.
“So it’s a wonderful chance to provide my students to motive their foreign language studying,” said Shin.
The program finished with a dinner and awards ceremony at the Warrior’s Club on Camp Casey.
There, students took their turn at the microphone giving a 30-second speech in English summing up their experience during the two days.
Each thereafter received a certificate of graduation, handed them by Lt. Col. Edward D. Eldridge, Commander, U.S. Army Garrison Casey, and their principal, Park Choon-woo.
Instead of only seeing Americans at a distance, such visits give the students a chance to meet and talk with them face-to-face, said Eldridge.
“It allows them to see, not imagine, what the Soldiers are doing, but come and actually participate with them on day-to-day activities,” Eldridge said.
“They get to see, ‘Hey, that’s the guy that we don’t ever get to interact with and that’s the way they really are. They are real people too.’ So it allows everybody to see each other as real people, for what they are,” he said.
“So,” said Eldridge, “not only is it helping the local community but it helps us to better understand the students as well.”

kathak is a flamboyant style of a dance form. But when you bring in the language of Bharatanatyam and Odissi, obviously you will be restrained.
Parkahya, literally, 'The Body of Another' this festival features cross-currents in classical dance. It attempts to expand the boundaries of our performing arts as well as augment existing repertoires meaningfully. Whilst adhering to certain rules and formats, each style also absorbs and imbibes from others, though retaining its essence. In Parkaya, three exemplary dancers work with each other and collaboratively use elements of each other's forms that are visualised by one and executed by another.
It is hoped that this endeavour goes some way in sensitizing one dance form to another and benefitting from this interaction, since there is so much that is shared in the Indian art aesthetic.
Three signature pieces taken from each style form the basis of this festival's repertoire: the Varnam from Bharatanatyam, the Pallavi from Odissi and the Thumri from Kathak.
Prerna Shrimali is amont hte leading kathak dancers and gurus of her generation. A versatile dancer, she has evolved an individual style in her presentation and gained wide popularity as a soloist. She incorporates various elements of classical, medieval and contemporary poetry in her performances and has to her credit many choreographies. She receive her training in Katha Guru Shri Kundanlal Gangani of the Jaipur Gharana.
Prerna has participated in several international dance seminars and congereces and has presented Kathak in the festivals in UK, USSR, Japan, France, Switzerland. She has presented at Liconln centre and Carnegie Hall, New York and present a series in Jordan, Syria and Muscat.
She is a recipient of Sangeet Natak Akademi award, Rajasthan Sangeet Natak Akademi Award..
Prerna is Senior Guru in Kathak Kendra.

Our objectives are to get in position that any salesman, interviewer, attorney, Executive and public speaker will use our kits on daily day based.
The body language kit is definitely a great addition to any workshops that covers non verbal communication, body language, public speaking, leadership and more. So, we don’t think that we have to take any position or agenda.
Research shows that in a week after the workshops, most of the participates don’t remember most of the material and the skills that they learned in the workshop. The body language cards will help them to refresh their memories. That the place that we want to be, that also the reason for the low cost of the product – we want to get to the mass market.

Strobist Sunday - theme - Hobbies outside of photography.
Well, a real challenge.
With my 2 year old terror and work and the house, I barely have time for photography, let alone any other hobbies. And I refuse to photograph the vacuum cleaner.
So this is more my husbands' hobby than mine. I adore books and am always reading, and the house is absolutely full of books. But hubby is the languages student, really. I did study Spanish for a bit a few years ago, and picked up the tiniest bit pf Portuguese for those days long ago when we used to go abroad for a holiday.
Anyway - lighting: Yongnuo 460 camera left on shelf, dialled down low for rim. Sony 42AM on 1/8th camera right about 45 deg from camera axis, through cereal box snoot. Triggered with CTR-301Ps. Tried to do something clever with it in photoshop to try and make it a litttle less flat, but didn't really get anywhere with that, so this is the original.

The Bournemouth Air Festival took place from the 30th August to 2nd September 2018. Voted best Tourism Event by Visit England and celebrating it’s 10th year, the Bournemouth Air Festival is the UK’s biggest, best and free aviation festival! RAF Red Arrows displayed on ~ Thursday 30th August ~ Saturday 1st September.
Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Imax ~ built in 1998, Bournemouth Borough Council bought the waterfront building from long leaseholders Nilgosc for about £7 million in 2010. It will cost another £2 million to have it demolished. The authority had hoped to keep the structure, but to lower it by 25ft ( 8 mtr ) and turn it into an all-weather leisure centre or cultural attraction. John Beesley, leader of Bournemouth council, said demolition work would not begin until after the holiday season and it was hoped the work would be finished by summer 2013. The building opened as an Imax cinema in 2002 despite protests from residents against the plans.The building was demolished in 2013.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into a small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.

Imagine over 400 students singing and dancing in a daily program intended to help develop the English language and vocabulary. This summer program is Learning the Language in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Learning the Language is being hosted at Central Elementary this year.
Since 1985, Bilingual and ESL students in C-FB have been attending Learning the Language during the summer. The purpose of the program is to develop English through the use of fairy tales, songs and movement.
The Pied Piper visits the students every day for one hour to sing songs that he wrote himself and dance, while developing oral language in kids. Each student receives a CD to keep with all the music they sing to practice at home.
Teachers use fairy tales, poems, and hands-on activities to engage kids in the learning. Kids love coming to school every day during the summer to learn and sing with teachers and the Piper. The program consists predominantly of Pre-K and Kinder students. Students in 1st-5th grades who are new to the country also attend. Older students participate in a puppet show that correlates with the fairy tale they read that week. The program is four weeks long, starting June 10 and ending July 3.
Through singing, dancing, fairy tales and reading, students in C-FB learn at high levels.
