Pompeii is disappearing
once again.The famous archaeological site located in Italia was once a roman
city that disappeared under the ashes of the Mount Vesuvius in
the year 79 (BC). After 1,700 years the city was rediscovered with
many objects that had been laying under the city very well
persevered because of the lack of air and moisture.
For the past 250 year it has been one of the most touristic places
in Italy with 2.5million of visitors every year and considered
World Heritage by
UNESCO.
Since 2010 at least
one monument has
collapsed per year. At
the end of 2010 the
famous Schola
Armaturarum or
Gladiators house
(where the gladiators
used to train) theheavy rains ended with this structure. The rain, the moisture in the
air and the temperature changes are the principal enemies of the
city as the experts says. This has concerned some people which
blame the administration of the city. Riccardo Santangeli from
the humanistic studies department of the University of Rome
explained that is the large
extension of the zone the
problem, this makes harder
and more expensive the
ongoing maintenance that
requieres.
In 2013 a new law was approved in Italy under the name of
Pompeii Project, after this, new conservation duties started but
this was not quick enough so the European Union had to insist,
making the Italian Culture and Tourism Ministry inverted two
million of euros to face the pompeii crisis.

September holidaysleaves 32 deaths caused
by car accidents.Even after various campaigns and authorities speeches to prevent car
accidents this holidays, the number that the Carabineros gave out on the
morning of Sunday 21st of September was 32.
Campaigns agains drinking and driving or drinking and texting were
promoted by actors, brands, authorities, advertisements, signs and more, for
the past couple months to prevent accidents that may lead to serious injuries
or death in the worst scenario. Unfortunately this propaganda as many
others during the past years wasnt as useful as they were created to since
the number of car accident that included dead victims is still shocking.
However this time most the responsibility is under the reckless pedestrian
since 17 accidents were caused by car running over people. Also, 26 of the
accidente were of regions outside the Metropolitan Region and only 6 were
on Santiago.
Carabineros are concerned because by the time, they were still waiting the
return of 100.000 vehicles to the capital and the possible accidents that may
be caused. To avoid traffic and encourage the early return, the 68 route is
applying a sale to the tolls ($1000 pesos).

Scotland's staying, but
the UK still has a bigproblem
Scotland has voted against becoming an independent country, but the debate
over its status in the United Kingdom isn't over
Part of the
last-minute
push by
UK elites
against
Scotland's
drive for
independence has been a commitment by the country,
three major parties to increase the authority of theScottish parliament inside the context of the current
union , most likely by increasing the scope of the
Scottish parliament's authority over tax revenue and
housing funds.
It's an idea that sounds appealing in obvious ways, but
it's also fraught with conceptual and practical perils,
most notably the fact that, while Scotland currently has
its own Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government
that can be given extra powers, there is no English
Government.
From 1707 until 1999, Scotland and England, were
governed by the UK parliament. But Tony Blair's
government established a separate Scottish Parliament
and devolved authority over a number of important
matters to the Scottish government, including health,
education, and housing. Most of the funds for those
things are determined by a budget set in London.
Scotland has a limited ability to raise
some extra tax revenue, but lacks any kind of borrowing
authority.
But a huge problem with devo-max (maximum
devolution, the form of governance if Scotland voted
no) is there's no English Parliament. Instead, the matters
on which the Scottish parliament makes policy are set
instead by the UK parliament a parliament that
includes Scotland.
This logical flaw has been present since the initial late-
1990s devolution move, was increased when additional
powers were devolved in 2012, and would be further
increasing in any devo-max scenario.
The problem could be solved by preventing Scottish
MPs (members of parliament) from voting on devolved
matters. Another possibility would be to create an
English parliament with the same devolved powers as
the Scottish one. But as England comprises 85% of the
total UK population, this would in some ways fatally
undermine the authority and prestige of the central
government.
Lastly, power could be devolved to a broad set of
English regional parliaments ,creating a more
symmetrical form of federalism as seen in the United
States. One problem here is that there's no indication
that English people favor this kind of regionalization (it
might also impoverish England's lower-income
regions), so it would be a big lift just to make Scottish
people feel better.

Almost a century after launching.
Gabriela Mistral
sfirst book released innew bilingual editionAlmost a century after launching Chilean poet
Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) her first book
Desolacin(Desolation) was re-launched in a
new English edition.
The launch celebrates the world-renowned writer
and took place in New York, where Mistral lived
for many years.
We live in a globalized world and in order to
allow people to get to know the life and works of a
person, that information has to be translated into
English, Gloria Garafulich-Grabois, director of
the Gabriela Mistral Foundation in New York, said
at the book launch, Its the book that many
consider her masterpiece.
Desolacin was first published in 1922 and
contains the famous poem Los sonetos de la
muerte(Death Sonnets).
Liliana Baltra, a retired Universidad de Chile
professor and Michael Predmore, professor at
Stanford University in the U.S., spent six years
translating the 553-page book.
Love and death are central themes in
Desolacin,and it is said that while writing the
book, Mistral was influenced by the suicide of her
18-year old nephew, Juan Miguel Godoy Mendoza
(often referred to as
Yin Yin) whom she took care of as her own son.
After reaching international recognition, Mistral
moved to New York and spent most of her life
abroad. In 1945, she became the fifth woman and
the first and only Latin American to be awarded
the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Despite an incredibly successful career outside
Chile, it was not until the military dictatorship of
Gen. Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) that she was
recognized as a national icon on home soil,
when her face appeared on the Chilean pesosbill.
Her lyricism was further incorporated into school
curricula, with much emphasis put on the poems
that focused on children and motherhood. Her
political essays, that speak up against fascism and
promote feminism, remain shadowed by her
poetry.
However, the appreciation of her work has grown
in Chile, and the Gabriela Mistral Center (GAM)
was opened in her honor in 2010, centrally located
on one of Santiagos main streets, Bernardo
OHiggins also known colloquially as Alameda.

Students in the class of IVC began a solidarity campaign to raise money to donate to the National Cancer
Institute, also known as INCAER.
Senior year class collectsmoney to donate
their goal is to collect 1.300.000 chilean pesos.
This campaign was driven by language teacher (Carlos
Snchez) who sent a mail asking if they could help with
anything to the institution. To everyone's surprise they
soon responded with a far more difficult petition thanthey expected. They proposed them to gather 1,300,000
Chilean pesos to purchase an anesthesia machine, which
are scarce in INCAER because of the high cost of them.
The class accepted the challenge and began to work
every week in order to reach the goal as soon as
possible.
They are mainly dedicated to sell food at recess every
day, donating from their house the "raw material".
During recess they sell cheese sandwiches, cakes, brownies, lemon pie, kuchen, most of the times
homemade and donated by students, and also sopaipillas.
However it is difficult to gather a lot of money just at the recess - which are 30 minutes a day not including
lunch time - so they took advantage of the September celebrations and other events held at the school
during that time.
One of the most successful dates was the choripanes stand on September 1o,at the Fiesta de Chilenidad
organized by the Pumahue school. The students were very early in the morning until 5:00 p.m. sacrificing
their time for this cause. Also another opportunity where they had a large income was the dancing recitals
in September, where they sold coffee, sandwiches and sopaipillas to the parents of children that presented,as well as in the Science Fair.
They still have to raise half the money, yet they have a $ 1.5m Chilean pesos goal and still have little time
to gather what they need.
To contribute to the cause can go buy his room, located on the third floor of the last flag (first room to the
right) or you can also find them hanging out on playground during recess.

Anyways, if they do the Olympics again we wish them the best and represent very good their school.
I: Good Morning Francisca, tell us about what
happened at the Olympics in Physics, please.
F: Good morning, well the main thing is that the
test was poorly made. There were errors in the
alternatives, often there was not the right choice for
the question and other questions in which there was
a picture it did not look clear enough to understand
it or were poorly printed.
I: And why do you think this happened?
F: Actually I do not know, I think that there was a
lack of organization in the olympics. We was also
noticed that when we arrived and we were looking
for the right room and nobody knew were it was,
and we were wandering around the facility for a
long time to reach the corresponding room. Also on
the way the test was done, it was as if they had
done it the day before.
I: And your classmates, what are they saying about
this?
F: We all found it was a waste of time and a lack of
respect for us. We stopped attending classes to go
to this activity which proved to be a fiasco.
I: What the organizer said about all this?
F: They told us that maybe they would take the test
again, this time without errors, and well prepared,
but no one can return us to the lost time, right?
I: No, of course not, too bad. Is there anything you
rescue this output?
F: After the test had an enjoyable time with our
colleagues and with the professor, with whom wewent to lunch and then relax the wrong time
I: Thank you Frances for your time, I appreciate it.
F: Thank you very much, bye.
