Philippines Pilot School Programme Promotes Nuclear Science and Technology Education
The initiative is already helping the new generation make more informed decisions about nuclear science and its use, including the possible re-launch of the Philippines' nuclear programme, halted in the late 1980s.
"I have grown up in a family that was firmly against nuclear power, but now I see that that view is based on misconceptions and lack of information," said Sofia Isabel Baja, a Grade 12 student at the Quezon City Science High School, which also participated in the pilot project. "Without these classes it would not have occurred to me to question what I heard from my parents in this area."

Headed out to the car to get some coats before the evening programme of the Toowoomba royal Show kicked off and the sky was doing this. Been a momentous year in my life with a massive situational change. I remember the sky last year as a little stormy, a little turbulent.

Leigh Miners Rangers are one of the most respected amateur rugby league clubs in the country, with a proud history of producing talented players who go on to make a name for themselves in the professional game. It is not hard to see why because the the whole attitude around the Club is very impressive.
Today's game against the tough tackling visitors from Cumbria was a ding-dong, rip-roaring, end to end crackerjack of a game. A real credit to the league.
Miners took a 20-6 HT lead but Egremont came powering back in the 2nd Half to get within two points. From then on it was end to end action with Miners securing the victory after enduring a sustained period of Egremont pressure and numerous crunching tackles.
Twist Lane is a great venue. Situated just a 5-Iron away from the Leigh Sports Village the place was a hive of activity. Upon arrival the welcome given by the clubs officials was very impressive and made you feel at home right away. The Club produces a very good programme of decent reading and and Award Wining Website all put together by the very professional and very likeable Jeff who like many at this level gives up his time for the club for love,not money. He does a brillaint job.
A special mention to Joint 1st team Managers Allan & Paul who are both fantastic guys and could not be more welcoming. They showed impressive class.
As Chubby Checker used to sing "Let's do the Twist again ...like we did this Summer .." and as a result of today's experience i certainly will be coming to Twist Lane sooner, rather than later, as it is simply superb in everyway.
Best RL day out this season by far.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Programme for the St. John’s Players’ production of John Dighton’s farce “The Happiest Days of Your Life”, staged in the church school rooms on three nights in October 1953 (Saturday 3rd October, Tuesday 6th October and Saturday 10th October).
The story involves two schools (Hilary Hall School for Boys and St. Swithin’s School for Girls) having to share one school site due to a shortage of buildings after the war. Chaos ensues when the Ministry of Devacuation refuses to take the girls’ school away, and the pupils stage a cold war as unsuspecting parents start to arrive…
The Keighley News reviewed the production on Saturday 10th October 1953: “Lilian Ambler was well cast as Miss Evelyn Whitchurch, principal of the girls’ school, and she gave a hearty, domineering portrayal… Stanley P. Wallis created a very amusing Billings, who was a staunch woman hater, and backed up his pupils in all their efforts against St. Swithin’s. Miss Gossage, the senior assistant mistress at St. Swithin’s was taken by Doreen Birbeck. She was at her best when endeavouring to attract the unwilling Billings, and her performance was entirely without restraint.”
The role of the Headmaster of Hilary Hall was supposed to be played by John R. Thompson, but he fell ill with tonsilitis the day before opening night. A last-minute substitute was found in James R. Robinson from a Cullingworth amateur dramatic society. Fortunately, Thompson was sufficiently recovered to resume the role on the Tuesday and the final Saturday nights.
Other cast members included Douglas M. Melrose, Pat Bradshaw, Peter Wood, Gwenda Carr, Alfred Birbeck, Jack Wood, Peggy Welch, Victor Thompson and Elaine Feather. The prompter was Sheila Phillips and the wardrobe mistress was Gladys Thompson. The scarf worn by the character of Rupert Billings (possibly that in the top left photograph) was provided by local firm Emu Wools Ltd. The play was produced by Albert Driver.
The programme was brought along to an open day held at St. John's in May 2023 by Patricia Slater. Pat was born Patricia Bradshaw and lived in Ingrow until she was eleven. She then moved to Oakworth but continued to be involved with St. John's Church, attending services and going to the church-affiliated youth club held in the nearby buildings. She was involved in various plays and pantomimes put on by the church in the 1950s. She got married in 1958 at Oakworth Church and subsequently moved to Silsden.

Even though there were just 3 stages of music, choosing can be tricky.
I just loved the colours of this guys shirt.
Police say they arrested more than 500 protesters in their operation on Wednesday morning to clear a sit-in on Chater Road in Central, after the end of the July 1st mass democracy rally.
The protesters, including members of the Federation of Students and Civic Passion, had linked arms while sitting on the road and had vowed to stay until 8am.
Their action was seen as a taste of what might happen later this year if the Occupy Central civil disobedience campaign goes ahead.
Police had earlier warned those taking part in the sit-in that they risked detention and prosecution. In the end 511 were arrested.
Officers began to move in just after 3am, and loaded the protesters on to coaches.
Some went willingly but those who remained were told that the police would use "necessary force" unless they boarded "designated vehicles".
Groups of officers then began to cordon off and physically carry demonstrators from the site.
A police tannoy said that all those remaining were under arrest for causing "obstruction and danger to road users" and for "unauthorised assembly".
The last of the protesters were removed about 8:30am with Chater Road reopening to traffic at 9am.
The confrontation involving up to 1,000 demonstrators followed a largely peaceful rally Tuesday which organisers said attracted a record crowd and the largest since Britain handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997.
The march organisers said 510,000 people took part in the democracy rally, but police estimated that 98,600 people participated.
The University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme put the number of demonstrators at between 154,000 and 172,000.
The march, which began at 3pm in Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, did not finish in Central until eight hours later.
The Convenor of the Alliance for True Democracy, Joseph Cheng, said he hoped the turnout would send a strong message to the government that people want a greater say in choosing the chief executive, and could lead to a softening of the stance from Beijing.
Democratic Party lawmaker James To, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Council's Panel on Security, said the demonstrators who were arrested by the police were not being allowed to meet their lawyers.
The leader of the Civic Party, legislator Alan Leong, said the police were wrong to make the arrests because the protesters had announced in advance that they had decided to end their action.
In Beijing, a Deputy Finance Minister, Wang Bao'an, said on Wednesday that it was inevitable that if the Occupy Central disobedience protest goes ahead later this year, it will have a negative impact on Hong Kong's economic development and social stability.
He said there were other channels for the public to express their views.
