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.

Physics Olympics

failureOn Thursday 25 September the

Olympics were held the Physical

Olympics at Andrs Bello

University.

The school Pumahue was invited and a group of students were selected to participate under the guidance of

Professor Mario

Student had to be in the university to begin testing, and so it was. However the problem occurs at the timewhen the test begins.

Students noticed many mistakes during the challenge, which upset a lot of them Francisca Sanchez of IVC

spoke with us to explain that what happened was:

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.
