The devastating earthquake on Feb. 6, 2016 in Tainan, Taiwan did more than the devastation of 117 killed and more than 500 people injured. It also caused heartache, guilt, regrets, anguish, and many other mix emotions for hundreds of affected families, just as they were preparing for the most important Chinese holiday of the year. Celebrations for Chinese New Year were canceled.
After the last body was found on Feb. 13th, a week after the initial quake, the search and rescue mission was officially over. Today, volunteers from Taiwan Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation are still working in the disaster area with survivors and impacted families with the focus on their mental health.
Damaged homes can be rebuilt, but mental scars are hard to heal. People often find timely access to quality care remains out of reach, especially for the most vulnerable and marginalized. If people are unable to access the health services they require, that can exacerbate their illnesses, ranging from moderate levels of anxiety to chronic, lifelong depression.
For example, Mr. Lin was worried about his elder brother's family. His brother and sister-in-law were both in the hospital recovering from serious injuries after being rescued. His brother suffered from severe spinal injuries, and his sister-in-law might lose her vision in her right eye due to her injuries. But their pain was more than the physical ones.
Their seven-year-old daughter's body was found four days after the earthquake with her face crushed beyond recognition. From the clothes she wore, Mr. Lin immediately recognized and identified his niece.
"I'm worried that my brother and his wife might not be able to face their daughter's death," he said quietly, after a Tzu Chi volunteer spent time with him and encouraged him to be strong for his family.
Tzu Chi responded to the emotional needs of those affected with a comprehensive Post-Traumatic Mental Health Care Plan.
"Tzu Chi volunteers have been very kind," said Mrs. Tong, who managed to escape with her children from their home on the fifth floor of a collapsed building. "When we were saved by the rescuers and stepped onto the ground safely, I realized that we came out of the building without anything. All I had on was undershirt," she said. Tzu Chi volunteers immediately wrapped her in a blanket, protected her from the cold, and began helping her and her family to ease her worries.
A rescuer, Mr. Chuang, came to a Tzu Chi prayer service and shared his experience on stage about being one of the first to arrive at the disaster scene. After speaking just a few words, "the scene was heartbreaking", he broke down and was unable to continue. Mr. Tsai, another rescuer, took the microphone and explained, "We felt unbearable pain, because they were like our own families. We did our best but often without success, we were all grief-stricken at the end." This chance to share their thoughts openly really helps to relieve them of their post-traumatic stress.
To provide a holistic and comprehensive care for all those that are affected, this plan includes psychological support for survivors and families who are directly affected and also for rescue workers and general public. It began in the wake of the disaster and will continue throughout the recovery process, providing the necessary mental health care and support.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, Tzu Chi volunteers immediately went to the disaster area to provide mental and spiritual care for victims and their families in shelters, hospitals, and funeral homes. With a one-on-one approach, a care group has been established for each survivor to provide long-term care and create a sustainable support.
With medical professionals from Tzu Chi hospitals, Tzu Chi University, and Tzu Chi International Medical Association, Tzu Chi continues to provide professional consultations to survivors, their families, rescue workers, volunteers, and general public.
The first-respondent and rescue workers often face tremendous physical and mental stress from long and intensive search and rescue. To support them, Tzu Chi provided energy-boosting hot meals and snacks 24 hours a day until the end of the search and rescue phase. In addition, Tzu Chi provided garments and equipment to help rescue workers warm and dry in the wintry weather. Furthermore, Tzu Chi hosted group events for the rescuers to discuss their emotions, relieve their stress, and rebuild their spirit during and after their search and rescue missions.
Not all residents in the disaster area suffer from physical damages, but they can possibly suffer from anxiety and fear which are often overlooked. After the quake, groups of Tzu Chi volunteers and medical professionals went door to door in the affected areas, talked to residents, and listened to their concerns to comfort them and calm their anxiety. For families in needs, volunteers evaluated their needs and provided charity services.
Disasters during special holidays can be detrimental, and therefore require further spiritual care to uplift the spirit. During the Chinese New Year holiday, Dharma masters from Jing Si Abode led global Dharma services through video-conference with more than 60,000 volunteers and attendees worldwide to pray for the victims and their families. Their prayers and love were felt by people suffering from the disaster; hopefully, this will help to reduce people's post-traumatic stress and deliver the affected community out of their sorrow and distress.
The road to full recovery can be very difficult. Therefore, Tzu Chi encourages survivors and rescuers to volunteer and help others by sharing their experiences in order to shorten their recovery time. By promoting deep contemplation and selfless giving, it is an opportunity for all to redefine their life's value and to encourage personal growth.
By walking the long road to recovery with survivors, Tzu Chi volunteers and survivors become friends or even like a family. Establishing a long-term care is the most important factor to full recovery. Volunteers create individualized long-term care plans to help survivors deal with their emotional challenges and march toward a new life.
A total of 18,000 volunteer shifts, including 174 medical professionals, responded.
A total of 23,500 hot meals served.
664 Jing Si foldable beds, 2,000 eco-blankets, 560 scarves, 301 hats, 400 pairs of gloves, 3,591 packs of daily necessities, 117 spiritual music boxes, 272 prayer beads, 3 tonnes of Jing Si instant rice, and 2,600 light weight raincoats were distributed.
Tzu Chi volunteers visited 293 hospitalized patients and 3,023 affected families. For those with urgent needs, more than 4.5 million TWD of emergency cash were distributed.
13 events were organized for a total of 4,166 attendees.
Five crisis response training for a total of 398 attendees.
Two months has passed since the earthquake. What remains isn't just sorrow and grief but feelings of gratitude and love.
"Tzu Chi volunteers not only sympathize with people's hardship after the disaster, but they also continue to provide comfort and support. In addition, they help the rescuers to have a belated Chinese New Year celebration," Dharma Master Cheng Yen, the founder of Tzu Chi Foundation, said during the Feb. 25 volunteer morning assembly.
"In fact, rescuers are not the only ones who do not get to celebrate the holiday, so are Tzu Chi volunteers. They rushed into the disaster zone to support rescuers, risking their own life," she said. "Tzu Chi volunteers give not only relief supplies but also comfort and love with spiritual care."
The journey to full recovery is painful and long. Tzu Chi volunteers will always be there to provide post-traumatic support and spiritual care for as long as needed. This is Tzu Chi's holistic and comprehensive care: "Be the first to arrive, last to leave" with gratitude, respect and love.

As is known, caves are the most important residences which had served as a natural shelter for human beings. Thus, caves have given the researchers the chance of doing overall studies drawing their attention on them. Furthermore, the watching and the discovery of secret mysteries and beauties provide people a different peace of mind and happiness. Besides, caves enable one to make exciting sports and “Speleology” which is an independent science developing.
There are multitudinous caves in Turkey because of its geological position. Turkey as a paradise has thousands of caves. The caves may appear in front of you in almost all over the country, though they are mostly intensive in Southern Anatolia. 2/5 of Turkish lands consist of fusible rocks appropriate with the evaluation of cave. It is estimated that there are more than 20.000 caves on the rocks that lie in the form of distinct mountain zones, but only 1200 of them could be examined. Turkey is in the first ranks of the European countries in terms of cave intensity and the specialists and enthusiasts of this subject named it “paradise of caves”.
The longest cave in Turkey is Pınargozu Cave in Isparta, with a length more than 16 km., and the deepest one is Peynirlikonu Cave in Manisa with a length of 1429 m.
Caves over 20 are reclaimed for tourism and the others are suitable for the groups of private interests who can enter only with the appropriate equipment and the accompaniment of a guide.
As an important geologic-geomorphologic process on account of cave evaluation, karstic formation appears in West and Middle Taurus Mountains (Mugla, Antalya, Isparta, Burdur, Konya, Karaman, Icel and Adana). 800 caves are examined and documented by the native and foreign groups till now.

The presidential victory of Donald Trump will lead to many regulatory changes, including in the area of employment and workplace law. A note from the law firm Fisher & Phillips spells out some areas where the firm thinks changes will come, and these include immigration, labor relations and workplace safety. With regard to immigration, the firm expects an increase in enforcement actions, including mandated employment eligibility ID checks to keep illegal immigrants out of workplaces and increased raids on workplaces. What is unclear, said Kim Thompson, chair of the firm's global immigration practice group, is whether Mr. Trump he will attempt to accomplish this by reducing the number of work visas issued or by increasing wages and other actions to encourage the hiring of U.S. citizens.
It’s probable a Trump administration will curtail pro-union and anti-employer activities by the National Labor Relations Board—and eventually replace current NLRB members with more business-friendly successors, said Steve Bernstein, a partner in the firm’s labor relations practice group. Republicans support requiring transparency so union members know how their dues are being used and back right-to-work laws permitting workers to opt-out of forced union membership—positions Mr. Trump showed support for during his campaign. Since executive orders are easy to repeal, partner Howard Mavity said he expects Mr. Trump will overturn the fair pay and safe workplace executive order—the so-called ‘blacklist’ rule—as well as similar government contractor executive orders. “I suspect that the very burdensome new EEO-1 electronic recordkeeping obligations will be changed, modified, delayed or eliminated,” said Mr. Mavity in an email.
In the area of workplace safety, Fisher & Phillips attorney Travis Vance said he expects a Trump presidency to streamline the Occupational Safety and Health Administration by repealing some or all of its recent rules on increased penalties that saw fines rise as much as 80%. It’s also likely Mr. Trump will seek elimination of rule set to take effect July 1, 2017 that mandates certain employers to report injury and illness information to OSHA. Also, Mr. Mavity and Mr. Vance both said the next administration will almost certainly shift resources away from the Obama administration’s efforts to protect whistleblowers from retaliation, especially when it comes to reporting injuries. Mr. Vance said OSHA currently enforces the whistleblower provisions of approximately 22 statutes and Mr. Trump may attempt to eliminate OSHA’s jurisdiction over many of these, as well as heighten the threshold for a claimant to establish a whistleblower claim. “These changes would allow OSHA to focus on high-hazard industry enforcement, accident and fatality inspections, and safety outreach consultations with employers,” said Mr. Vance.
The art of the internal investigation. Michael W. Johnson, chief executive of Clear Law Institute, which provides training to companies on how to conduct internal investigations, speaks about why the best investigators are more reporter than prosecutor, and debunks myths that body language or whether someone looks you in the eye are the best ways to discern if someone is being truthful.
U.K. lawyers still grapple with DPAs. Corporate lawyers in the U.K. continue to grapple with how to negotiate with the Serious Fraud Office to secure deferred prosecution agreements in ways lawyers with experience in the U.S. process don’t, said David Green, the SFO’s director.
U.S. puts sanctions on alleged Nusra Front leaders. The U.S. imposed sanctions on four alleged leaders of the Nusra Front, and it added the group’s new name–following a split from al Qaeda–to the blacklist.
U.S. charges four with sanctions evasion. Prosecutors in New York charged four people with conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran through a scheme they say caused U.S. banks to conduct at least $100 million in funds transfers to aid the Iranian steel and copper industries.
Mr. Trump's point man on regulation favors a light touch. Donald Trump has tapped a longtime critic of heavy regulation to flesh out his new administration’s plans for remaking the financial rule book, including the potential dismantling of much of the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, WSJ reports. Paul Atkins served as a Republican member of the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008, where he spoke out against big fines for companies, arguing they punish shareholders. Now Mr. Atkins, 58 years old, is the member of the president-elect’s transition team charged with recommending policies on financial regulation, according to current and former regulators briefed on the matter.
CFPB faces de-fanging under Mr. Trump. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, already in legal limbo after an October court decision, could find its powers scaled back by President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican-led Congress, Reuters reports, citing members of both political parties, lobbyists and lawyers.
Financial firms turn to technology to serve regulatory needs. Financial services firms are increasingly turning to digital technology to meet onerous regulatory demands aimed at fighting financial fraud, creating a niche tech market that is estimated to grow to around $120 billion by 2020. Regulatory technology, or RegTech, offers banks automated solutions that can speed up the cumbersome process of vetting clients and transactions, which is necessary to prevent money laundering and other financial crimes.
Singapore convicts ex-BSI banker in 1MDB case. A Singapore court sentenced a key suspect in a continuing probe into alleged misappropriation at the Malaysian state fund 1MDB, making Singapore the first country to successfully prosecute an individual linked to the alleged multibillion-dollar fraud, WSJ reports. Yak Yew Chee, 57, a former relationship manager at the Singapore branch of Swiss bank BSI SA, pleaded guilty to two charges of forgery and two charges of failing to report suspicious transactions. He was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison and a S$24,000 (US$17,000) fine.
U.S. Interior Department issues rule for renewable-energy development on public land. The Interior Department issued a regulation aimed at speeding up development of renewable energy on federal lands, WSJ reports, one of at least five major energy rules the Obama administration is expected to release in coming weeks, even though they may be swiftly unraveled by President-elect Donald Trump.
India court ruling means firms must pay billions in back taxes. The Indian Supreme Court rejected a petition by major firms seeking the withdrawal of a tax on the movement of goods through the states, a decision that would force them to pay an estimated $4.5 billion in back taxes and interest, Reuters reports.
Rail regulators reject delay in drug, alcohol testing. Federal regulators rejected an effort by the railroad industry to delay a proposed expansion of mandatory drug and alcohol testing, WSJ reports, saying that a “crisis” of drug abuse requires immediate action.
FCC tells AT&T its "zero-rating" plan may be unfair. The Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to AT&T Inc. to express concerns over the telecom company’s practice of exempting its own streaming video services from data-usage caps for its wireless customers.
Tata Group continues fights with ousted chairman. Tata Motorsid Tata Sons called for an extraordinary general meeting to oust two directors, Cyrus Mistry and Nusli Wadia, from the automaker's board, as the nasty spat between the Tata and Mistry camps escalates, Reuters reports. Mr. Mistry denied that he mishandled a harassment case at the company's hotel arm, an incident that media reports said was one of the factors leading to his removal.
CME Group CEO to retire. CME Group Inc. Chief Executive Phupinder S. Gill, who has pushed the world’s largest futures-exchange operator into new markets in Europe and Asia since assuming the job in 2012, intends to retire Dec. 31, WSJ reports.
Zuckerberg denies Facebook fake-news problem. Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg fought back against accusations that the social network harmed political discourse this year by allowing fake news to flourish on the platform, WSJ reports.
Pollsters face reckoning after a year of failures. Pollsters are rethinking how they operate after a string of astonishing misses around the globe this year—from incorrectly calling the Brexit vote in the U.K., the peace accord with rebels in Colombia and now the U.S. presidential election.
New Balance faces social-media backlash after welcoming Mr. Trump. New Balance Athletic Inc. may be the first corporation to get hit by backlash against President-elect Donald Trump, WSJ reports. The privately held sneaker company—long an opponent of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement—welcomed the election of Mr. Trump as a reprieve from the policies of President Barack Obama.
Trump faces private lawsuits ahead of inauguration. President-elect Donald Trump is headed to Washington while involved in an array of private lawsuits, cases that could take time and attention away from his new job of running the country, WSJ reports. His lawyers in one of the most prominent cases—set to begin here on Nov. 28, regarding allegations of fraud against the now-defunct Trump University—addressed the concern at a hearing by asking that the trial be delayed while Mr. Trump prepares to take office. The judge asked the litigants to settle, Reuters reports.
College accreditors largely staffed by employees of schools they oversee. Two-thirds of the officials responsible for policing the quality of the nation’s colleges and universities are employed by schools their agencies oversee, WSJ reports, highlighting potential conflicts of interest in a system that faces reform efforts in Washington.

An article about the Festival is here.
Additional info about the Festival is here.
Much of the audio in the below-mentioned recordings is not very clear. Running the sound out of one's computer via a cable into an external speaker might make these recordings more listenable.
Soon I would be posting on this page some ideas regarding how the audio and video could be improved when using this kind of technology.
The CSF 2014 Workshops not mentioned here either were not recorded due to some human or technological error, or the audio or video quality of the recordings were so poor as to make it seem not helpful to make the recordings available.
Opening talks by Dr Premeela Gurumurthy and Susan Perrow.
Storytelling by Rajammal, Alli, and Arulmozhi. Translation by Jeeva Raghunath.

Workshop on "Visual Art Therapy, and Storytelling and Healing". Conducted by Susan Anand. Lavanya Prasad, a professional storyteller, participated via videoconference from Bangalore. During the small-group-discussion segment of the Workshop, Ms Lavanya and participants in the hall in Chennai formed a small group: they discussed the puppets they had created, from 1-hour-28-minutes onward.
Workshop on "Building a Web of Trust in Storytelling Events". Conducted by Deepa Kiran (first 30 minutes).
Then, Workshop on "Creating and Telling Inspirational, Transformative, and Healing Stories". Conducted by Eric Miller.
Dhara Kothari, founder of the Katha Kosa storytelling organsation, participated in these Workshops via videoconference from Mumbai.
Note: In the future, I am hoping a split-screen configuration could be used in similar events, so viewers could see both parties (in a two-party videoconference) at the same time.
To initiate a "Google Hangout On Air"
If possible, please use the browsers, Google Chrome, or Safari.
For this process, one needs to have a gmail ID. If you might not already have a gmail ID, perhaps you could create one.

ChiIL Mama : WEEKEND PICKS: XQ SUPER SCHOOL LIVE TOUR COMING TO CHICAGO’S HARRIS THEATER AT MILLENNIUM PARK SATURDAY, MARCH 30 AT 7:30 P.M.
WEEKEND PICKS: XQ SUPER SCHOOL LIVE TOUR COMING TO CHICAGO’S HARRIS THEATER AT MILLENNIUM PARK SATURDAY, MARCH 30 AT 7:30 P.M.
COMING TO CHICAGO’S HARRIS THEATER AT MILLENNIUM PARK SATURDAY, MARCH 30 AT 7:30 P.M.
An immersive and innovative tour across America will combine the power of storytelling and theater, inspiring communities to reimagine high schools.
Host committee includes Ava DuVernay, Sophia Bush, Jimmy Iovine, Yo-Yo Ma, Hebru Brantley, Geoff Canada, and over 100 community organizations including Chicago CRED, Generation All, Chicago Unity for Equity and Urban League of Chicago.
XQ and Pop-Up Magazine Productions announce XQ Super School Live — a new, one-of-a-kind, immersive storytelling tour to inspire people to reimagine high schools in their own community. This innovative tour is coming to Chicago’s Harris Theater at Millennium Park, 205 E. Randolph Dr., Saturday, March 30 at 7:30 p.m. for a night of high school drama — full of stories, selfie confessionals, viral gratitude, and multimedia adventures that celebrate the everyday heroes transforming America’s high schools.
General admission tickets are available for $19 at HarrisTheaterChicago.org or by phone at 312.334.7777.
Contributors on the tour include Chris Duffy (Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas), Clio Chang (Splinter, New Republic), Dana Bialek (Panoply, Slate), Christina Esquivel (education activist, Communities in Schools), and Andrew Boryga (New York Times, New Yorker). Stories will be accompanied by illustration, animation, photography, an original score performed onstage by Magik*Magik Orchestra, and 17-year-old DJ Prince.
“We’re thrilled to partner with XQ on this innovative, one-of-a-kind tour that brings Pop-Up Magazine Productions’ signature storytelling to life — live, multimedia, reported — to help shape the way we think about our high schools,” says Derek Fagerstrom, producer, XQ Super School Live and Director of Special Projects at Pop-Up Magazine Productions.
Stories such as Mike Floyd, a Texas teenager who in his senior year of high school decided to run for school board. And won. Or Gary Chery, a student whose hilarious cafeteria reviews amazed his teacher — a future professional comedy writer who celebrated Gary’s creativity — but who struggled in a traditional high school environment.
From the minute the audience walks into the theater, they will be immersed in XQ Super School Live — greeted with art installations by world-renowned artist and XQ Super School Live Creative Chair Hebru Brantley. Brantley is creating special-edition versions of his iconic, youthful Flyboy and Lil Mama. Brantley’s work challenges the traditional view of the hero with his iconic characters and XQ Super School Live saw parallels with the work needed by everyday heroes to reimagine high schools. This innovative and immersive night continues, from the audience receiving an “Orientation Pack” when they enter to being integrated into the actual show (with phones off!), to a reception after the show that fosters network and community-building to help people connect and take on the work of changing our high schools.
XQ is a growing and passionate network of educators, students, families, and civic-minded citizens reimagining high school education in the United States. Our mission is to fuel America’s collective creativity to transform high school, so every student succeeds, no matter their race, gender, or zip code. We want to see that change underway in every high school and in every community — in all 14,000+ school districts.
XQ launched in September 2015 as an open call to the nation to reimagine the American high school. More than 10,000 people from all 50 states took part. More than 700 teams created unique ideas for innovative, student-centered high schools. From these, 18 Super Schools are now turning their visions into reality.
Super Schools are just one element to XQ’s work. We offer free, open source tools and materials so that every community can rethink their high schools. And because we believe that great high schools for all are a hallmark of a great nation, we are carrying that message into homes, schools, and neighborhoods across the country to tell stories that show how innovative and creative high schools can and should be.
XQ is led by Co-Founder and CEO Russlynn Ali, former Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights under President Barack Obama, and Co-Founder and Board Chair Laurene Powell Jobs, president of Emerson Collective. Board members include Geoffrey Canada, Marc Ecko, Jimmy Iovine, Michael Klein and Yo-Yo Ma.
Pop-Up Magazine Productions brings unforgettable multimedia storytelling to major theaters across the nation with the acclaimed live event, Pop-Up Magazine, called “a sensation” by The New York Times and “beautiful” by the Los Angeles Times. Renowned writers, photographers, radio and podcast producers, and filmmakers perform new, true stories onstage, accompanied by a live band and original score. Pop-Up Magazine Productions also publishes The California Sunday Magazine, the national magazine featuring ambitious reported features and photography from across California, the West, Asia, and Latin America. The California Sunday Magazine, founded at the end of 2014, has been named a finalist for 10 National Magazine Awards, including Magazine of the Year and General Excellence, and won three, including the National Magazine Award for Design and the National Magazine Award for Photography two years in a row.

As you play, it becomes clear that the consequences of your character’s CFS are wide-reaching. It’s not just that you only have enough energy to do 3 or 4 things per day, and it’s not just that each day you feel a little more tired than the last. The game shows us that CFS plagues you with guilt and saps the enjoyment from things that should bring you happiness.
As you have to choose between self-care and self-fulfillment, each choice is shadowed with dread. If you choose to eat, will you have enough energy to work on your novel? Should you clean your room or take care of your pet? Robin forces you to make each choice deliberately and fully conscious of the sacrifice it entails. When each task takes a big chunk out of your character’s energy meter, you can’t help but feel frustrated and helpless. It’s not that you didn’t want to take a shower — it’s that you simply couldn’t.
At the end of each day, you get a screen that tells you what you didn’t accomplish. Always, the list of failures is longer than accomplishments. So what if you read that book you’ve been meaning to get to? Because you did that, you couldn’t muster up the energy to clean your room and now you feel grimy and stifled by the clutter.
Robin is a bite-sized game and it’s best experienced in repetition. The game makers say that there are 3 endings, but I could only successfully achieve two of them. I kept trying different combinations of tasks, striving for balance but always somehow falling short. Even though the artwork is chipper and bright, the sound effects soothingly familiar, I started feeling a kind of despair. It all felt like an exercise in futility.
I can see Robin as a great tool to help people develop some empathy if they’re unfamiliar with CFS or depression. Personally, I also felt like the game forced me to take a moment to be fully present in my choices and their effects — an important reminder, I think, when you live in a culture that fetishizes the “side hustle” and the eternally busy.

In June, King Edward VI High School will be launching their very own TV channel. It will be broadcast in school and online through the school website and USTREAM. The channel will host educational videos on topics such as healthy eating, literacy, numeracy, fitness, as well as subject-specific videos and documentaries on Science, English, History, Geography, Citizenship, PSHEE, Sports and PE and more! The channel will also showcase videos from celebrities who have starred in videos targeted at secondary school students. On top of this, The Edwardian team have been busy preparing some of their own material to be broadcast on the channel. KEVI TV will be broadcast around school at break and lunchtimes but will also broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the school website at www.kevi.org.uk, as well as to visitors to the school in the waiting room.
The TV channel has been set up by The Life Channel, a company specialising in TV broadcast for schools, hospitals and businesses. Programmes will be updated regularly and it is hoped the channel will be a point of information and interest for parents and students, any time or day of the week.
The channel launches on Friday 17th June at 8.30am and can be watched online on the school website where you can also see the latest news and events from the school.
Election 2015: The Edwardian asks "Should 16 and 17-year-olds be allowed to vote?"
The general election has reached fever pitch. Parties are fighting for seats, with MP’s knocking on doors and posting their parties manifestoes in letter boxes. All over the country, 18 year olds and over will be making their ways to voting stations or using the postal vote to have their say on who should be running the country. But should the voting age be lowered- should 16-17 year olds be allowed to vote?
There are plenty of reasons why people think that the voting age should be lowered. One is arguing against the proposition that 16-17 year olds are too immature to vote and do not have the knowledge needed to make a rounded decision of whom to vote for. The argument against this is that 16-17 year olds are able to cope with the responsibility of voting and are mature enough to do so. For example, 16-17 year olds are able to join the army aged 16, and are able to get married aged 16- if 16-17 year olds are mature enough to do this, why are they deemed not responsible to vote?
Another reason for allowing 16-17 year olds to vote is that it would increase the number of people that vote- low numbers are a significant issue. By one estimate, less than 45% of 18-24 year olds voted in the 2010 election. If 16-17 year olds were allowed to vote, this number would increase. It would also give young people the chance to have their say in issues that affect them, such as schools and public transport; this would also help the voting number to increase, and could stop politics from alienating so many young people.
However, there are a lot of people that think that 16-17 year olds should not be allowed to get the vote. Many people think that they’re too immature to vote, as they need parental permission for just about everything, from huge responsibilities like getting married to joining the armed forces (and even then they cannot fight on the front line) to even getting a tattoo. They also would struggle to find a job that generates enough income that means they’ll have to pay income tax, whilst people that are 18 are out of full time education and can commit to a full time job.
To conclude, whilst there are plenty of good reasons why 16-17 year olds should get the vote, like helping young people become more involved with politics. On the other hand, there are many reasons why people believe that 16-17 year olds shouldn’t get the vote- for example young people being too immature or lacking the knowledge needed to make the decision of who should be running the country. The question of lowering the voting age has been debated often in recent memory- including the correct general election; perhaps one day a decision will be made and it will become normal to see 16 year olds going to the voting stations!
As the country gets set to take to the polls this week for the General Election, students and staff at King Edward's have been taking part in their own elections for Head Boy and Head Girl.
Sixth Formers Brandon McEleny and Frances Bishop have been voted in as the new Head Boy and Head Girl from September 2015. They will replace the outgoing Sixth Formers Frances Critchley and Luke Acton who were elected last year and have served in the role this academic year as ambassadors for the school and organisers of the School Council.
Headteacher, Mr Christey, congratulated the students on their election and wished them every success in their new roles. He also thanked Fran and Luke for their "hard work in representing the school at major events and representing the student voice in the school."

Like Wesley Brown who had President Jimmy Carter to support and defend him from 1945-1949, I also had the best group of peers to help and support me from 1972-1976. Good or bad they were there to help me and because of their personal accomplishments I was able to be in a position to achieve my goals, dreams, and vision at Annapolis. During the four years at Annapolis we finished 1st as Plebes, 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 1st again during the four years at Annapolis.
To my knowledge no other Company in the history of Annapolis has done better. I might be wrong about this last fact but I am very proud to have been a member of the 17th Company Band of Brothers. As of the writing of this no member of the 17th Company has died. I thought it was appropriate at this time to write these comments because although we are young at heart we are all over 63 years old.

Two brothers living with albinism under Group Village Headman Namkumba in Sub Traditional Authority (STA) Masache in Chikwawa have commended President Peter Mutharika for providing them with decent houses.
The two, Alfred and Yohane Misoya expressed their gratitude on Wednesday during the visit by Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Anna Kachikho to the area to appreciate progress on construction of their house.
President Mutharika ordered construction of houses for the two brothers under the Malata and Cement Subsidy Grant Component in the aftermath of their cold blood attacks in March 2017 when unknown thugs broke into their house.
“I would like to express my gratitude to President Mutharika for the kind gesture. This clearly shows that our president is a loving and caring father who fulfills to the promises he makes.
“We can assure you now that with these houses, our lives are secured as compared to how we lived in the past. This gift from the State President under the Malata and Cement Subsidy Grant Component is quite helpful we never thought something like this would come our way,” Alfred Misoya said on behalf of his brother.
Chikwawa District Council Vice Chairperson, Councilor Clement Kamoto appreciated the gesture by the President saying the houses would enhance security for the two brothers.
Minister Kachikho said it was the wish of government to see to it that poor households were living decent lives thereby calling on all Malawians to join hands in assisting government to achieve the said vision.
She said through the Malata and Cement Subsidy Grant Component it was possible to provide such decent houses to the poor communities.
“Since the houses here are almost finished, I should assure all of you that we will shortly handover the houses to the two brothers after minor works are done for them to be fully occupied.
“The dream as we can all see has been accomplished and eyes have it. I should take this opportunity to ask the two brothers to take care of the houses forever. It is the wish of our president to help the underprivileged,” Kachikho explained.
Wow! Extremely nice. DPP woyeeee!!!!
Give them food to sustain their lives as well. The old saying that teach a fisherman to fish works well. Kamuzu asked people to work hard in their fields. Today stealing starts with the president himself and his ministers like George.
God bless you for the good works.

I mentioned on my last post about writing the Ironman 70.3 World Championship preview. (To answer your question, Sunnyrunning), the list of pros we compiled was mostly a co-effort between Brad Culp and I, and the points rankings played a role in helping to choose. Beyond that, I also like to dig around on the pros and see who's worthy and interesting to feature. That's how I chose Tim Reed for the list, who I just had on endurance planet podcast, and other rising stars like Liz Blatchford. Liz is now focusing on long-course racing full time, after coming off an ITU/short-course tri career that ended with not being selected for the London Games last year. Sad ending for a very talented athlete. So you can imagine she's hungry for some championship racing at the 70.3 and full IM distance now! She won her first IM at Cairns recently, among other smashing wins and performances, proving she's the real deal.
Q) TP: Are you still doing Vegas this year? I saw that you might do IMMT for Kona points, and wondering if that is still the case.
A) LB: I am racing IMMT to try and qualify for Kona. Given Vegas is 3 weeks after I am undecided at this point if I will do Vegas. I will have to see how I recover from Tremblant and also see whether I have qualified for Kona.
Q) TP: If you do race IMMT and Vegas, how do you think the IM in late August will factor into your Vegas performance?
LB: I'd say very likely. I have only don the one Ironman earlier this year and didn't feel particularly recovered 3 weeks later. However I am better prepared for this one so will have to wait and see.
Q) TP: How has it been moving from short-course to long-course racing? You seem to be dominating the distance (congrats on Cairns!).
Q) TP: How was it racing Melissa Hauschildt at Koh Samui? You did great against her!

In 2016, The New York Times asked Vishaan Chakrabarti and his firm Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) to develop a proposal for the redevelopment of Penn Station that would address issues not resolved by current initiatives to redevelop the Farley Post Office. Most notably, the Farley plans do not solve the problem that a very large proportion of daily users of the station cannot use a redeveloped Farley building because of the position of Long Island Railroad and New Jersey Transit platforms, which are largely located between Seventh and Eighth avenues and cannot be moved.
PAU developed a proposal that would repurpose the current Madison Square Garden as a new terminal serving LIRR and New Jersey transit riders to complement the Amtrak station proposed by Governor Cuomo for the Farley building. Michael Kimmelman, the Times architecture critic, called the idea of creating a new grand entryway to New York from the existing Madison Square Garden structure a possible solution “hiding in plain sight” to the issues that have long bedeviled efforts to redevelop the station. The PAU proposal, presented in an interactive feature in the Times on September 30, has been further developed with support from the Ford Foundation.
On February 23, Vishaan Chakrabarti will present the proposal in a program co-sponsored by The Architectural League and the Regional Plan Association. RPA president Tom Wright will provide a brief history and policy context of issues surrounding Penn Station redevelopment, and the presentation of the proposal will be followed by a discussion with Wright, architectural and urban historian Hilary Ballon, and architect Henry N. Cobb.
Presented in association with the Regional Plan Association.

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, immediately after the passing of "The Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889," a memorial of the owners, lessees, mining population, and inhabitants generally of the "Munster Coal Field," extending over an area of 20 square miles, and second in extent of 877 coal-bearing strata to that of the "Leinster Coal Field," was duly presented to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, setting forth:— That the Coal Field has hitherto been worked by the Mining Company of Ireland, but which is now in process of being wound up and the mines abandoned, and the mining population, unaccustomed to agricultural pursuits, cast adrift upon the poor rates. That the main cause of this failure and the winding up of this Company is the want of a line of railway from the base of the primary mountains of Slie-bardagh, to which a sub-tramway could be constructed upon the bed of a water tunnel penetrating to the level of the base of the coal basin, which would thus serve the double purpose of transit of the mineral and of unwatering the mine. Such has been hitherto effected by machinery on the surface, enhancing the cost of production, especially from the lower depths of the coal strata, to the extent that at length this large and valuable Munster Coal Field appears doomed to be permanently abandoned and left undeveloped for the future, and the mining population, a race distinctive from the agricultural inhabitants, dispersed irretrievably; and praying further that it should be declared desirable that a light railway should be constructed between the given places, in order to develop and maintain such coal and other industries; that nevertheless the memorialists have not hitherto obtained the benefit of the Act; and whether the Government, in view of the foregoing circumstances, will take steps to have special assistance afforded to the district in question within the meaning of the Act?
I beg also to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that immediately after the passing of "The Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889," a memorial, signed, by 2,220 persons, representing the owners, lessees, occupiers, and mining population of the "Leinster Coal Field," extending over an area of 40 square miles of coal-bearing strata, and containing a larger quantity of workable coal than contained in all the rest of Ireland put together, was duly presented to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, setting forth in detail the above-mentioned facts, and showing that, mainly owing to the want of railway communication, this mining industry is steadily declining, stocks of coal at the collieries keep increasing, the colliery proprietors have been obliged to reduce the number of working days of the miners, and the want of sufficient employment is very 878 severely felt, as set forth in the Report of Her Majesty's Inspector of Mines; that the Royal Commission on Public Works in Ireland has specially referred to this district as one that should have been heretofore provided with railway connection, being 15 miles distant from any railway station; and praying that it should be declared desirable that a light railway should be constructed to connect the given places, for the development of such coal and other industries; that the memorialists further requested to be heard by Counsel, or otherwise, in order to establish their contention that such industries were (as they were advised) within the true meaning and sound legal construction of the Act, rather than other light railway lines projected to connect given places, not to develop special industries, no matter how otherwise desirable, but to promote intercommunication between remote localities and market centres; that, nevertheless, ex parte Orders in Council have been made in regard to such latter lines of railway, and the memorialists have been hitherto denied the benefit of the Act; and whether, in view of the foregoing, the Government will take steps to have the case of these memorialists duly heard and determined, and, if necessary, to have further funds applied for in Parliament, in order to carry out the beneficial policy of the Light Railways (Ireland) Act?
Memorials to the effect stated have been received. The cases referred to were carefully considered with upwards of 60 other proposed lines of railway, having in view, firstly, the special objects as defined in the second section of the Act; and, secondly, the sum of money (£600,000) which is available for the purpose. It was decided that the schemes now scheduled under the Act were the most deserving. It would not be practicable at present to hold out any prospect of special assistance under the provisions of the Act to either of the districts referred to in the hon. Member's questions.

The hotel that changed Ibiza forever from its spot on Playa d’en Bossa combines the best international music with a unique personality.
Over the past five years, Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel has made a place for itself as the perfect spot to stay, eat, dine and relax during the summer season, revolutionising the concept of the daytime party. Ibiza’s most widely famed venue is a Mecca for music lovers, promising guests a combination of high energy performances from world-class DJs, dazzling pyrotechnics, sophisticated LED colour shows and acrobats. Its VIP area features some of the most coveted tables in Ibiza, and its services include a recording studio for musical productions and personalised classes in DJing, recording, and creating audio masters and mixes. These services have been called upon by famous DJs and producers including Martin Garrix, David Guetta and Andrea Oliva. Moreover, the private Jacuzzis in the rooms at The Ushuaïa Tower offer all the exclusivity of a strategic backstage location.
The hotel has 416 rooms with minimalist décor and advanced technology, featuring sea views, a central pool and gardens. Worth noting among these is the 166 m2 I’m On Top of the World Suite, the biggest and most luxurious on the island, located in a privileged spot on the 8th floor with views to the beach and the stage, a large parlour and living room, two bathrooms, a dressing room, a TV and Jacuzzi in the bedroom and a terrace furnished with hammocks and Jacuzzi.
Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel has five international restaurants to take you on a true gastronomic world tour. Worth nothing among these are Minami, a Japanese restaurant specialising in sushi and other Asian dishes prepared at private Teppanyaki tables where the chef offers an incredible live cooking show; the Italian restaurant Sir Rocco, and Montauk, specialising in premium beef cuts. Real foodies will no doubt want to sample the oysters and caviar, and a choice selection of other seafood around the poolside Oyster & Caviar Bar, or enjoy one of the original cocktails on the menu while taking in the views from the Up sky lounge.

First and foremost, if you are reading this article with genuine interest, then congratulations for having purchased an antique clock, or for deciding to do so. All you need now is the most exquisite and charming place in your house to put up the clock. The position of your new antique clock will also depend upon your clock’s style. To decide on any particular method, you first need to find out the type of your clock. The methods that can be used to put your antique clock on display are in a standing position, mounted on a wall, or simply mounted on any piece of furniture.
Grandfather as well as Grandmother Clocks are those variety of antique clocks which are exhibited in a standing position. These clocks are free standing ones that may be put up in a corner or show cased in their own space. The most distinct feature of these clocks that solely makes up for their beauty is their case. Keep the clock as the main focus in the room and ensure that the clock is not surrounded by any other pieces of decoration or any form of clutter. This will enable the fantastic artwork of the clock to be displayed without any problems. If you wish to, you may even put up a spot light or a focus light on the clock for a better view. Focus in the form of a light is a wonderful way to display the fine details of your charming clock.
If you have any antique wall clock that you wish to display, you will first need to decide exactly where do you plan to put it up. Decide only after keeping in mind the décor of every room and the area required to put up your vintage clock. There are quite a few wall clocks that are of a decent weight. So be cautious not to place them anywhere where they might dominate the place. Another way to help you decide is to look up for the manufacturing label of your wall clock in a catalogue. These catalogues often inform where the wall clock was designated to be kept when it was an heirloom. These books are however, to merely aid you in this process of decision-making. You may or may not stick to the intention if the original owner. The final position is definitely in your hands.
Antique clocks that are displayed on any furniture will be mantle clocks such as anniversary clocks or an assorted piece of small timepieces. These can be very well decorated on bookshelves, wall shelves, entertainment centers, mantles, dressers, or even coffee tables. You may even buy wooden or metallic stands for your antique clock. You may choose from a variety of stands of many varied colors and designs. If there are kids in the house, select a spot that it unreachable to them to avoid any sorts of mishaps. A curio is also a very innovative way to display and protect the antique clock. If you choose a curio, it will also enable you to keep future prospects open to add onto your existing collection of antique clock(s).

The first attempt at a cladistic analysis to include most lineages currently grouped in the "family" Characidae was undertaken by Lucena (1993). We reproduce his results below.
A phylogenetic analysis of the family Characidae, based in part on a classification proposed by Greenwood et al. (1966), is presented. The main findings are expressed as a strict consensus cladogram defined by 122 morphologial characters and 69 terminal taxa. The study suggested a monophyletic status for the family, but that remarkable modifications in characid nomenclature should take place in order to express the results obtained.
Molecular evidence (see Ortí and Meyer, 1997) does not lend support to these results.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. People can get MRSA infections from the community or in healthcare facilities. But patients in healthcare facilities are susceptible to MRSA because they often undergo surgery or other procedures that make it easier for MRSA to get into the body.
Recent reports have shown that MRSA infections associated with hospitalizations are declining – and that’s a good thing. But there have been smaller declines among MRSA infections that are acquired in the community, in places like schools and sports teams. And reports also suggest that MRSA infections are on the rise among children. This is why healthcare professionals must follow infection prevention guidelines to prevent patients from getting MRSA.
Wash your hands after touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated items, whether or not gloves are worn. You may also need to perform hand hygiene between tasks and procedures on the same patient to prevent cross-contamination of different body sites.
Wear gloves, a gown, and mouth/nose/eye protection when you will come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, or potentially contaminated intact skin (e.g., of a patient incontinent of stool or urine). Learn more about glove use.
Clean and disinfect surfaces, especially high-touch areas such as bed rails, patient tables, door handles, etc.
Follow other precautions to prevent the spread of MRSA.

Dec.16 (GMM) Force India is expected to end months of speculation by finally announcing its 2012 driver lineup on Friday.
The news had been expected to come on Thursday, coinciding with the Silverstone based team's Christmas party.
"My understanding is that it seems most likely that there will be no announcement (on Thursday)," Nico Hulkenberg's manager Timo Gans warned en route, "but probably Friday."
It is almost certain that German Hulkenberg, the team's 2011 Friday driver, will be confirmed alongside Scot Paul di Resta, with Adrian Sutil in the running to switch to Williams.
London's Times newspaper reported that di Resta has definitely secured one seat, with German Sutil indeed expected to lose out to 24-year-old Hulkenberg.

Jim apRoberts lives and works as an artist in San Luis Obispo on California’s beautiful Central Coast. He is a life-long surfer and waterman and spends a great amount of time on the the waters of Morro Bay.
His work as a stained glass artist designer, craftsman, and painter can be found in residences, churches, and other public gathering places throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, and Mexico. His focus at the current time is on painting. His paintings are representational with a twist. He feels that the viewing experience is much more engaging when the work he creates is open ended and suggests an illusion of reality that allows the viewer to fill in the meaning and detail with imagination. His inspiration comes from many sources. Jim’s work is full of color and texture.
He believes that a painting has to have ideas brewing in it, just as a story needs a plot. He works with a variety of themes and oftentimes paints in series, “zigzagging” back and forth from series to another. As Jim likes to say he knows when a painting is complete, yet he rarely completes a series.

Queen of Disney original songs.
It seems that Céline Dion has been a part of the mortal music world since the beginning of time. But despite what you might think, her breakout song wasn't Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On," which turned 25 this year.
No, it was her duet of Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast's title track that launched her into international superstardom. And during a Thursday night performance of her regular Las Vegas show, Dion performed a newer addition to the Disney songbook live for the very first time.
Naturally, the Disney powers that be tapped Dion to encore her original Beauty and the Beast breakout, but with a totally new tune. "How Does A Moment Last Forever" was an original song written for the 2017 reboot of Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. In theaters, it was Dion's incomparable voice that played over the credits. But up until Thursday night, Dion had never actually performed "How Does A Moment Last Forever" live.
Wearing an excellent yellow gown, Dion brought the house down, as she always does, with her beautiful performance. As clips from the live action Beauty and the Beast played in the background, she reminded folks why she's one of the most prolific and strongest performers in the game.

I ordered the Triforce cufflinks in Sterling Silver. There was a production issue, I believe, so I was sent two comparable pairs of cufflinks instead. My husband was totally stokes to get them for his birthday and can't wait to wear them. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and will likely purchase again from this store.

Wore these at my wedding to add a bit of character to my tux, and they were lovely. I mentioned the date of the wedding when I bought them and the seller noticed that the shipping method I'd choses might not arrive in time, so they emailed me right away and helped me get it sorted out.
They look just like picture, nice and heavy, very well made.
Kirsty Jane said: Amazing cufflinks!

Sara said: I ordered a set..
I ordered a set of 5 pairs for my wedding. They were packaged in a very cute themed box, along with a bonus pin and gift bag!
The cufflinks are brill - however, having the item name printed on the postage label meant the surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend was less of a surprise!
Nice quality cufflinks that we ordered for our wedding. Shipped swiftly and arrived on time.
Shipped on time and came in expected condition. My fiance really liked these cufflinks.
Great item, the tie clip was slightly damaged on arrival, but nothing a bit of araldite won't fix. Loved the little pouches.
Got it as a present for my brother. He absolutely loves them! Thank you!
Good craftsmanship, beautiful, and shipped quickly!
I like the look and feel of the cuffs, and shipping was fine. The way it was shipped was mediocre however.
Super fast delivery and fantastic quality!

Exactly what i wanted and excellent quality.
Quick shipping, really good quality product!
Great item really like em. Very quick delivery thank you!
Le produit est de trs bonne qualit, mais l'envoie a prit beaucoup de temps.
I just received the cufflinks a couple days ago, and I'm in love! When the item's shipping was delayed, a bonus gift was added on to my order, free of charge. I'm very happy with everything, thanks ZOS!
I gave this to my boyfriend for his high school graduation as an "adult"/future use gift . He absolutely loved it which is what truly matters. The product is great quality, too and looks exactly as depicted. The cufflinks are easy to use and I can't wait to see my boyfriend use them in the future. However, it was shipped late and took a little more time to be sent out and be delivered. BUT I accidentally received another order of cufflinks in the mail by accident. I contacted Kane and he let me keep the second pair which was very sweet.
The cufflinks are great! A note that the shipping time may be longer than anticipated. It took 5 weeks from the day I placed my order for the cufflinks to arrive to the United States. I'm very pleased with them though. Thank you!
Shipping was a little later than hoped for due to the academic season, but seller was totally humble and understanding and remediated the situation. So pleased, because the product is great!
Very fast shipping and great packaging! Thank you for making our wedding a little bit more special.
They are pictured exact. Fast and efficient postage and delivery. My son loves them. Thank you.

Peter Christos, beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend, passed away September 3rd after a short but valiant struggle with lung cancer. Peter is survived by his wife of over 35 years, Holly; their sons, Theodore, Alexander and William; his son Zach Morris; his mother, Elaine Tannors; brothers John Christos and Ted Tannors; and his sister Alexandra Bradfield. He is preceded in death by his father, Theodore Christos, and his sister Cathy Kirst.
Growing up in La Canada, Peter played baseball and football for La Canada High School and was active in Little League and Scouts, attaining the honor of Eagle Scout. The friendships he valued most were formed during those times. His career in the Industrial Pump field as an Inside Engineer and Salesman was cut short due to a debilitating hearing loss in 1993. He changed his title to “Mr. Mom” and took on all the activities and duties that go with it in his own unique manner while his wife went into the outside workforce. He was happiest when his wife and sons were with him at home, or camping, as well as barbequing or watering in his own back yard. He leaves a legacy to all those he cared for with his simple but profound wisdom dealing with life. Peter will be greatly missed by his family and all those who were blessed to know him.
