This book recounts the professional memories of Cleon C. Seraidaris, who was the polymath private tutor to Their Majesties the Kings Rama VIII and Rama IX when They were growing up in Switzerland. In response to the suggestion of His Majesty King Bhumibol that these historical events and images be recorded, the author, Lysandre C. Seraidaris, the son of the tutor, publishes this book fifteen years after his father’s passing. This unique testimony, illustrated with photographs and documents from the author’s private family archives, takes readers on a journey highlighting both personal and public events from a world never before revealed. It is the first publication of the memories of the private tutor who devoted twenty-six years of service to the Thai Royal Family in Lausanne. Proceeds from the sales of this book, will be presented to His Majesty King Bhumibol for His charitable causes.

The upcoming Pixar animation, Inside Out, will be in theatres this June. The film tells the story from the perspective of the emotions inside the mind of a little girl, Riley, who struggles to adjust to a new life in San Francisco. To live through everyday life, she is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. Like Riley, children are likely to feel strong emotions when there are big changes in their lives. For some children, having many strong feelings can be confusing and even overwhelming. It is important for children to identify, understand, and express their feelings and adults play a major role in the development of these abilities. When spending time with kids, we can model and teach them to recognize, name, and express their feelings in healthy ways. Helping them to name their emotions and talk about them can make the feelings more manageable. Assure your children that it's okay to feel mad and sad and confused. Let them know that it's even okay to feel lots of different things all at the same time.

Down the Rabbit Hole 150th Anniversary of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

The timeless classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is celebrating its 150th birthday anniversary! Follow us ‘down the rabbit hole’ for a closer look at this famous children’s fantasy novel that has enthralled readers of all ages since its original 1865 publication.

It all began when Oxford math professor Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, whose pen-name is Lewis Carroll, concocted another amazing story for a good friend’s three daughters during a boating trip in 1862. This time he told of a girl named Alice falling down a rabbit hole and took his young listeners, one of them the real-life Alice Liddell, on an imaginary journey to the unusual, the unexpected, and the irrational with crazy creatures and fantastical experiences like the Mad Hatter’s tea party and the Queen of Hearts’s croquet game. The Liddell children found this particular tale of Dodgson’s to be one of his best and, after the real-life Alice pestered him into writing it down, he presented the manuscript, along with his very own drawings, as a Christmas gift to her. Later on, chance came into play when English novelist Henry Kingsley caught sight of the manuscript while visiting the Liddells. Mr. Kingsley told Mrs. 10


In celebration...

Dodgson published Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at his own expense under the pen name Lewis Carroll and with his drawings redone. It ended up making waves in the literary world and it seems there are at least two reasons for this. First, as Dodgson wrote it for the eyes of only one reader, it is a truly child-centered piece of writing. This purity is most likely one of the greatest contributing factors to the book’s success. Second, prior to Alice’s adventurous story, most children’s books were created for educational purposes. However, Dodgson’s aim was not to teach any important lesson but instead simply to entertain. Thus, with the book’s 1865 release, children’s literature broke free of its moralistic pattern and ventured into the world of imagination allowing children to read just for fun.

• fiction

The Alice stories had a much greater impact than Dodgson could have ever imagined. He is credited with setting the stage for many more imaginary tales that children and adults alike would come to enjoy like the Chronicles of Narnia and the Harry Potter series. Furthermore, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’s influence extended beyond the literary realm. It had a profound impact on visual arts with Alice and her escapades being immoratlized in visual art forms like cartoons, motion pictures, photography, paintings, and drawings. One notable example of visual arts greatly influenced by the Alice stories is the works of surrealists who are known for their odd imagery and vivid colors. British literary critic Sir Herbert Edward Read even dubbed the British surrealist artists the “children of Alice.” Moreover, at least 25 TV and film adaptations have been made. The first was a silent film in 1903 and the latest, Disney’s massively successful 2010 Alice in Wonderland, has a sequel officially titled Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass in the making that is scheduled for release in 2016. Other evidence of the enormous cultural impact of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland includes an amusement park ride, card games, songs, and music videos. There has even been the first ever exhibition titled Alice in Wonderland at Tate Liverpool that explored the stories’ influence on visual arts and generations of artists. And now there is a set of special mint stamps, recently released by the UK’s Royal Mail, that are based on ten iconic scenes with names such as The White Rabbit, Drink Me, The Cheshire Cat and A Pack of Cards. Given the power that Dodgson’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has had over so many people from so many different fields, Alice’s tale will undoubtedly continue to be enjoyed in the future by children and adults alike and it will never cease to influence the world. Getting swept away by the wonder of an imaginary world such as that of Alice’s can be a truly exhilarating experience. So who wouldn’t want to find themselves in front of a portal to a strange new world?

With the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) launch, studying, knowing about and accessing different information sources on the 10 member nations are how entrepreneurs, investors and business people can successfully establish trade or conduct business cooperation smoothly and generate mutual benefit. The data and factors that entrepreneurs, investors and business people must pay attention to come in great amounts and numbers. For instance, because the customers using the services and purchasing the products of each country have varied behavior, tastes and lifestyles, learning about each market’s consumer behavior can ensure attainment of your marketing goals. Business planning is also key and making contingency plans for every possible scenario is a must so that you can have a manual for immediate executive use should any unexpected situation occur. And as uncertainty is always present, being prepared can help lower the risks. You may need to ship goods, transport people or coordinate efforts involving many people and operations. Studying the transportation route and the logistics system as well as keeping abreast of route conditions and new route construction will bolster your endeavors. Moreover, securing local allies is essential to the prosperity of your undertaking. Good local partners know how to get things done, understand the local laws and rules and have good ties with the central government and local authorities. You need to trust your potential local partner as the regulations and systems differ from country to country. To do all this and more have a look at these great reading suggestions. • DOING BUSINESS IN THE ASEAN COUNTRIES • DOING BUSINESS IN THAILAND: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO COMMERCE FOR FOREIGNERS • DOING BUSINESS IN THE NEW MYANMAR • THINK NEW ASEAN!: RETHINKING MARKETING TOWARDS ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (2ND ED.)

In Love With Death by Satish Modi “I wrote my book, In Love with Death, to encourage people to begin a dialogue with death so that they can live full and meaningful lives. It is my humble belief that people should not be afraid of death. It is through the awareness of death’s inevitability that we are jolted into lives full of compassion and love. We are only given a short time on this earth. It is my hope that engaging with our own mortality will help us to appreciate the world in which we live and encourage us to make the most of our lives.” — Satish Modi
