Republic of Cyprus

• Cyprus is a large island that is located in the Eastern Aegean area of the Mediterranean. It is about the size of Connecticut. The coastline is approximately 400 miles around. It is a divided island with the northern portion under Turkish control, called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This is not recognized by the United Nations or any other country. The southern portion is an independent republic called the Republic Of Cyprus. This area is controlled by the officially recognized Cyprus government.

• Because of a Turkish invasion in 1974, the United Nations made a buffer zone and that zone runs through the middle of the island and right through the capital Nicosia. The capital is divided by “The Green Line” into two parts. This is similar to the way Berlin was once divided. Access between the two parts of Cyprus has often been restricted. A United Nations peacekeeping force patrols the “green line”.

• The Mediterranean climate of Cyprus has hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The sun shines brightly there around 300 days a year.

• There is a central plain with a limestone mountain range to the north called Kyrenia and the Troodos Mountains in the southwest. Cyprus in well known for its beautiful beaches.

• The people of Cyprus are known as Cypriots.

• Their products are potatoes, vegetables, citrus fruits, olives, grapes, wheat, and carob seeds.

• Natural resources are pyrites, copper, asbestos, gypsum, lumber, salt, marble, clay and earth pigment.

• The two largest rivers are the Pedias and Kariyoti.

• Cyprus has a prosperous economy. The island gets a major share of its income from the tourism industry.

• The traditional music of Cyprus shares many similarities with the Greek mainland and island folk music. The most common instruments used in the folk music of the country are the lute, violin and the Cyprus flute called “pithkiavlin”.

• Hellium cheese, popularly called halloumi, is a product of this country that was initially made during the Medieval Byzantine period.

Mount Olympus is the highest point in Cyprus at 6,403 feet.

Cyprus is the home to the mythical birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. Aphrodite is known as the Greek god of love and beauty. On a rock that protrudes from the sea, Aphrodite was allegedly born from the waves. Today the folklore is that if you swim around the rock three times, it will bring eternal youth.

What Is A Harpsichord?

The harpsichord is a musical instrument that looks like a piano but it sounds much different. Like the piano, it is played by means of a keyboard. It produces itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound by plucking a string (rather than striking, as in a piano) when a key is pressed.

The harpsichord was used in Renaissance and Baroque music. The first music written for the solo harpsichord was published around the 16th century. Some of the famous composers that wrote music for the harpsichord were William Byrd, Domenico Scarlatti, J.S. Bach, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

During the late 18th century, it gradually disappeared from the music scene with the rise of the piano, but in the 20th century, it came back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being used in historical performance of older music, in new compositions and in popular culture.

Johann Sebastian Bach Johann Sebastian Bach was and is a famous composer. He was born in Eisenach, Germany.

He was born March 21, 1685. His father was a town musician. In fact, over 300 years of his ancesters all worked as professional musicians. As a child, Bach's father taught him to play violin and harpsichord. His parents had died by the time Johann was ten, so his older brother raised him. His brother, Johann Christoph was the organist at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Ohrdruf in Germany and it is assumed he taught Bach much about the organ. He also learned about organ building where he fixed the church organ often.

Johann held three major jobs in his life. He first worked for a duke, then a prince and finally became the director of music at the St. Thomas Church and School in Leipzig, Germany. His job kept him very busy. He became the cantor, organist and music composer and remained there for the rest of his life. In his spare time, Bach conducted a group of musicians and performed at a local coffee house.

He was thought of as just an ordinary musician until about 100 years after his death. At this time, Felix Mendelssohn, another composer conducted a performance of Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Matthew Passion. Bach composed in many established musical forms, including, for example, the cantata and fugue, and developed them into complex pieces. He composed over 1,100 works in almost every musical genre (except opera).

Bach was married twice and had over 20 children, including four who became famous musicians in their own right, including Carl Philipp Emanuel, Wilhelm Friedemann, Johann Christoph Friedrich, and Johann Christian.

Bach is now known as one of the great geniuses of music.

Enjoy Sledding and Tobogganing This Winter!

Downhill sledding and tobogganing are wonderful winter sports.

People of all ages can enjoy the fun and participate. Some communities have designated sledding hills for people to sled down.

Sleds come in all shapes and sizes. They’re usually made of plastic or wood and some can hold more than one person. A toboggan is a long, light sled that has a curved front that can hold three or more people.

Here are some good guidelines for safe and fun sledding and tobogganing.

• Keep all your equipment in good condition.

Make sure there are no broken parts, sharp edges, cracks or split wood.

• Dress warmly enough for the outside conditions. Protect your head with a warm hat. Sledders should wear thick gloves or mittens and boots to protect against frostbite.

• Sled on spacious, gently sloping hills which have a level run-off at the end so the sled or toboggan can come to a stop safely.

Avoid steep slopes located near streets or roadways.

• Check the slopes for bare spots, holes and other obstructions which may cause injury. Bypass these areas or wait until conditions are better.

• Make sure the sledding path does not cross traffic and is free from hazards such as large trees, fences, rocks or telephone poles.

• Do NOT sled on or around frozen lakes, streams or ponds because the ice may be unstable.

• The proper position for sledding is to sit on the top of the sled.

Sledding head first increases the risk of head injury and SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES. • A good rule of thumb is to slide down the middle of the hill. When you reach the bottom of the hill, move out of the way quickly.

Climb back up the sides of the hill and watch for oncoming sledders as you do so.

• Don’t use hills after dusk unless proper lighting is provided.

• Don’t go out in icy or excessively cold conditions.

Sledding and tobogganing are great activities to do with a large group of people. So grab some friends or some family and get outside to enjoy the snow.

Having Fun With Science Experiments!

As with all science experiments, it is important to have responsible adult supervision.

Mixing Oil and Water Blowing Up Balloons With CO2 Chemical reactions make for some great experiments. Make use of the carbon dioxide given off by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction, by funnelling the gas through a soft drink bottle. Blowing up balloons was never so easy!

What you'll need: Balloon About 1/4 cup of water Soft drink bottle Drinking straw Juice from a lemon 1 teaspoon of baking soda Instructions: Before you begin, make sure that you stretch out the balloon to make it as easy to inflate. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the soft drink bottle.

Add teaspoon of baking soda and stir it around with the straw until it has dissolved. Pour the lemon juice in and quickly put the stretched balloon over the mouth of the bottle.

What's happening?

If all goes right, your balloon should inflate! Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base, while the lemon juice is an acid, and when the two are combined they create carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, the gas can’t escape the balloon, so it pushes it outward, blowing it up.

Some things just don't get along when they are combined. For example, take oil and water. You can mix them together and shake as hard as you like but they'll never become mixed together.....or will they?

What you'll need: 16 ounce clear plastic soft drink bottle About 1/4 cup of water Food coloring 2 tablespoons of cooking oil Dish washing liquid Instructions: Add a few drops of food coloring to the water in a small glass. Add 2 tablespoons of the colored water and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the clear soft drink bottle. Screw on the lid tightly and shake the bottle as hard as you can. Put the bottle down and take a close look. It may have seemed the liquids were mixing together, but the oil will float back to the top.

What's happening?

While water often mixes with other liquids to form solutions, oil and water does not. Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other and this is the same for oil. Because they are more attracted to their own molecules, they just don't mix together. They separate. The oil floats above the water because it has a lower density.

If you really think oil and water belong together then try adding a tablespoon of dish washing liquid. Dish washing liquid is attracted to both water and oil helping them all join together and form something called an emulsion. This is extra handy when washing greasy dishes!

)DPRXV $PHULFDQ :RPHQ Annie Oakley Annie Oakley was born August 13, 1860 in Darke County, Ohio. Her parents were Susan Wise and Jacob Mosey, two Quakers of English descent. Annie was the sixth of the nine children, seven of which survived.

Annie did not attend school as a child because of her fathers death in 1866. She was sent to the county poor farm, but at age 10 she got sent to work for a family who wasn’t very kind to her. Annie ran away from that family and was reunited with her mother.

Annie decided to help her poor family. She decided to support them by shooting game in the nearby woods.

Luckily her marksmanship paid the mortgage on her moms house. Because of her skill she was able to enter a shooting match on Thanksgiving day. At 15 she beat the touring champion Frank Bulter. Within the next year, she fell in love with him and they were soon married.

Soon after, Annie and Frank became shooting partners.

Annie was good at what she did and she knew how to please a crowd. Her career took off when she performed with Buffalo Bill Cody’s show at the American Exposition in London, 1887. Queen Victoria called Oakley “a clever little girl”.

2DNOH\ ZDV $PHULFD¶V ¿UVW IHPDOH VXSHUVWDU 6KH LV quite admirable in the respect that she never forgot her roots of a struggling home.

Annie died November 3, 1926. Her partner for 50 years, Frank died only 18 days later.
