Often described as an intrepid and fearless musical explorer, French composer and pianist Thierry Pécou has been curious in the music of different cultures since his early music education. In 2017, on a backpacking tour to India with Ensemble Variances' clarinetist Carjez Gerretsen, Pécou was immediately drawn to the qualities of the Indian raga scale. As a composer, he was fascinated by the immediacy of the raga's improvisational and emotional capacities and its free-flowing high energy.
Pécou returned to India in 2018 as part of the Alliance Française cultural diplomacy initiative Bonjour India. This time with members of Ensemble Variances and this time for a series of workshops with the Indian virtuosi flute player Rishab Prasanna. The collaborative synergy was instant. The result is Sangâta, a celebratory concert that joins Ensemble Variances musicians with three of India's finest soloists Amaan Ali Khan (tabla), Ragini Shankar (Hindustani Classical Violinist), and Rishab Prasana (flute).
Featuring six virtuosi musicians, this compact program offers a vivid night of color, rhythm and unbridled joy. It is a true symbol of the cultural exchange of the highest artistic order.
Some write travel diaries. As far as Thierry Pécou is concerned, his wanderings turn into musical scores.
Inventive and surprisingly familiar music, Sangâta offers both hedonistic and profound pleasure. It deserves the standing ovation it received from the public.
On a rhythmic basis given by the tabla, an essential percussive instrument in India, the piano, the clarinet and the western flute meet with the violin and the beautiful sound of the wooden bansuri flute from the Indian tradition. They echo each other, reply, sometimes take over or burst out in a chorus. Because of the unique loose structure of the score, each concert may be different and have its own flavours and colours. And don't be surprised if you all of a sudden hear other musical references than Indian or Western classical music when the musicians feel up to it.
It is unlike any other piece, and therefore hard to describe. Just come over and listen to it yourself. We are curious what you will recognise!
The name 'Ragini' originates from the word raga and means melody. Born in a family with a musical lineage spanning over seven generations, Ragini Shankar began her training in Hindustani Classical Music on the Violin at the tender age of 4. She has learnt music under the tutelage of her mother, Sangeeta Shankar, and her illustrious grandmother, the eminent violinist Dr. N. Rajam with whom she is regularly playing. A professional musician at a young age, she has already performed in many prestigious Indian music festivals as the 'Sawai Gandharva Bhimsen Mahotsav' in Pune and the 'Doverlane Music Festival' in Kolkata, as well as on several international stages. As a virtuoso, Ragini is recognized as one of the promising artists of Indian Classical music.
Rishab Prasanna was born in a renowned family of musicians, so one could say music is literally in his blood. Nurtured by the tradition (Gharana) of Banaras, Rishab is equally at ease with the light classical genres like thumri, chaiti, kajri and dhun (folk music of India). Since 2009 he moved to Europe where he explored new musical languages: Swedish folk, jazz, contemporary, Greek and Arabic. With Davy Sur, he created a unique dialogue between Indian flute and Davy's percussive inventions. David Amar, who recently joined the group to create the new project One Million Faces, brings another dimension to their music: electronic, deep and definitely contemporary. So Rishab will have quite something to add!
Amaan Ali belongs to a famous family of musicians. He is the son of sarangi maestro Ustad Ghulam Sabir Khan and was initiated on tabla by Ustad Manju Khan. Amaanreceived several distinction for his art and is a Gold Medalist of All India Radio (2002).He has accompanied many eminent artists (Smt. Shubha Mugdal, Begum Abida Parveen, Ustad Sabir Khan) in India and around the world.
As the Ensemble finds it very important to work as much as possible with new talents alongside esteemed performers, Amaan Ali will be playing the percussions. A promising talent, again from a family with a long musical tradition, who already accompanied many eminent artists and got his share of distinction. Yet at the beginning of his career, but we have no doubt he will become one of those eminent artists himself.
Co-production CIMN Détours de Babel / Alliance Française de Delhi / Ensemble Variances / Kalasetu.

'Unqualified staff and delays': Failings in care of vulnerable children exposed by watchdog
Education inspectors say children's services in Stockton need to improve after a fall in standards
c (Image: PA)
The care of vulnerable children in Stockton has been criticised after it emerged unqualified staff are making decisions over young people's welfare.
Education watchdog Ofsted said there has been a decline in how Stockton Council looks after its most at-risk youngsters following its latest inspection.
Inspectors also highlighted unnecessary delays in some children getting the right support and management failures as they gave a "requires improvement" rating.
The drop in performance follows a four-day inspection in May - with "a decline in overall effectiveness" of children's social care services.
Inspectors found "unnecessary delays" for assessing children's needs, with drift "not fully recognised" by the council before Ofsted staff spotted the problem.
The council has been criticised for its care of vulnerable children and teenagers (Image: iStockphoto)
Street splattered in blood as man injured in attack 'involving brick'
The education watchdog also found unqualified staff were looking after children's cases and making social work decisions.
It said: "Managers are relying on the opinion of unqualified workers to inform the next steps for children."
Stockton Council has pledged it will respond swiftly to the findings.
A joint CQC and Ofsted probe found "significant weaknesses" in the authority's care it offers to young people with special educational needs earlier this year.
"Immediate action" to turn things around was taken by council managers during this latest Ofsted inspection.
Despite the rating, there were some bright spots within the 11-page report.
The probe found the "early help" service the council still runs had been "strengthened" since the last inspection in 2016.
It also reported a "very high number" of children in care making "effective progress" in education - with better stability in the workforce making workloads easier for social care staff.

The report added: "School attendance is good at 96%.
"Children are supported to remain in school against a backdrop, more generally, of increasing exclusions."
Stockton Council had 502 children in its care in March 2019.
And a paper prepared for last week's cabinet meeting stated its rate of looked after children "remained high".
Cllr Lisa Evans, Stockton Council's cabinet member for children and young people, said the rating was "disappointing" - but was encouraged by the good things inspectors found at a time of "huge demand".
She said: "What's important now is that we respond quickly and decisively and that's exactly what we're doing.
"We've gained some really valuable learning from this process and having listened very carefully, we have moved swiftly to put an action plan in place to address the areas where we need to improve.
"These areas are actually fairly narrow in their scope, but they are important and have had the effect of bringing down our overall judgement.
"And as inspectors acknowledge in the report, we were already onto a number of them through our own self-evaluation.
"This has all been fed into our improvement plan.
"We've got a committed and dedicated staff and we are working together proactively and methodically to deliver the improvements needed."
In October last year, the council revealed how demands on children's services are putting increasing pressure on its budgets.
The authority's latest update to its medium term financial plan revealed the council now looked after "more than 500" children in its care - with a "£1.4m debt" forecast for April 2019.
Garry Cummings, head of finance at the council, told leaders it was still "very early in the financial year" at a cabinet meeting.
He added: "To give reassurance we are looking at all sorts of things to try and make savings and deliver services in the most efficient way."
The report said pressures were "continuing to be experienced" due to the "increased complexity of cases" and "rising number of looked after children".
At that time 593 children were being "looked after".

A surgical prosthesis for repairing a hernia in a sturdy tension-free manner. The prosthesis includes a layer of adhesion resistant material and a first layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material affixed to the layer of adhesion resistant material. A second layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material is positioned adjacent the first layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material and a connecting thread is interwoven between the midsections of the layers for forming a midsectional seam fastening together the three layers. The prosthesis is implanted in the hernial area of the patient in such a manner as to duplicate the structure of the original unherniated fascial tissue. The adhesion resistant layer faces inwardly to prevent adhesion of internal body viscera to the prosthesis.
This invention relates to surgical prostheses for repairing abdominal hernias and is particularly useful for repairing ventral, large umbilical and recurrent hernias.
A hernia is a rupture of the abdominal wall which provides support for internal body organs. A rupture or undesired weakening in the abdominal wall is not normally, of itself, a problem. The problem is the ensuing bulge of intestine and/or omentum which pushes its way through the opening. A conventional procedure for repairing a hernia involves making an incision over the site of the hernia, pushing the internal viscera back into the abdominal cavity and closing the opening by stitching or suturing one side firmly to the other. Unfortunately, this suturing distorts sensitive tissue, causes tension and subsequent pain, and renders the repair site susceptible to a recurrent hernia.
An alternative procedure which appears to be gaining popularity involves making the incision, placing a piece of knitted mesh material over the hernial opening, holding or suturing the mesh material firmly in place and closing the incision. If properly done, there is less tissue distortion and less tension on the tissue adjacent the opening. Thus, the results are better and the patient is frequently able to resume his normal activities sooner. While this mesh approach appears to be a step in the right direction, there is, nevertheless, room for further improvement, particularly in regards to providing a tension-free repair of greater strength.
The present invention provides an improved surgical prosthesis for repairing a ventral hernia. This improved prosthesis is a two piece mesh device designed to include a dual or combined layer of adhesion resistant material fused inferiorly to a superior piece of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material, this dual layer being fastened centrally to a single and separate layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material. The centrally fastening midsectional seam provides stability to the prosthesis and allows the mesh material to envelope the muscular abdominal wall, both externally and internally, with minimal tension.
When the prosthesis is implanted into the patient, the superior surface of the fused dual layer is positioned against the peritoneal surface of the abdominal cavity. This allows the tissue ingrowth receptive mesh to become firmly incorporated with the body tissue. The adhesion resistant surface of the dual layer faces the internal organs and infinitely decreases the incidence of adhesions and/or bowel obstruction. The single layer of this two piece device is positioned between the anterior fascia of the abdominal wall musculature and the subcutaneous tissue. The ingrowth receptive nature of this single layer enables incorporation of this layer with both adjoining abdominal structures.
For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further advantages and features thereof, reference is made to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the scope of the invention being pointed out in the appended claims.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a representative manner in which multiple sutures may be located at various positions on the prosthesis.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a surgical prosthesis 10 which is particularly useful for repairing a hernia in the ventral region of a human body. Prosthesis 10 includes a layer of adhesion resistant material 11 and a first layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material 12 positioned adjacent the layer of adhesion resistant material 11. Preferably, the layer 12 is affixed to the layer 11 so as to form a more or less unitary combined layer or dual layer. This affixing may be accomplished by placing an adhesive material between the layers or by thermally bonding the two layers together or by a stitching or sewing together of the two layers. In so doing, care must be taken so as not to cause any major impairment of the mesh-like quality of the mesh material forming the layer 12. Layers 11 and 12 are coextensive in area and are larger in area than the hernial opening it is desired to repair.
Prosthesis 10 also includes a second and separate layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material 13 positioned adjacent the first layer of tissue ingrowth receptive material 12. This second mesh layer 13 may be, but need not be, coextensive in area with the combined layers 11 and 12. Layer 13, however, should be larger in area than the hernial opening to be repaired. When manufacturing the prosthesis 10, the second mesh layer 13 is preferably made the same size as layers 11 and 12, leaving the surgeon the option of trimming it down to a smaller size if desired.
Prosthesis 10 further includes a fastening mechanism for fastening together the midsections of layers 11, 12 and 13. In the illustrated embodiment, this fastening mechanism takes the form of a connecting thread 14 interwoven between the midsections of layers 11, 12 and 13 for forming a midsectional seam fastening together the three layers.
Referring to FIG. 3A, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a normal, unherniated anterior abdominal wall of a human body taken in the ventral region of the body. As there shown, the abdominal wall includes left and right rectus muscles 20 and 21 enclosed and held in place by interior and exterior layers of fascia 22 and 23. These layers of fascia, a thin but strong fibrous tissue, merge together in the region intermediate the rectus muscles 20 and 21. A layer 24, called the peritoneum, covers the interior side of the interior fascia 22. The peritoneum 24 is a softer, more pliable layer of tissue material and provides a sack-like enclosure for the intestines and other internal viscera. A layer of skin and subcutaneous fat 25 covers the exterior of the exterior fascia 23 and forms the exterior of the body structure.
FIG. 3B shows the occurrence of a hernia, the hernial opening being indicated at 26. In this example, the hernia is represented by the rupture or breakage of the fascia layers 22 and 23 in the region intermediate the rectus muscles 20 and 21. This breakage allows the internal viscera to push the peritoneum 24 in an outward direction , creating a noticeable bulge in the skin 25. If not treated, the condition will only worsen with time, with the peritoneal bulge becoming larger. Eventually, most of the intestine may become incarcerated in the hernia sac.
FIG. 3C shows how the prosthesis 10 is implanted into the patient's body to repair the hernia. An incision is made through the skin and subcutaneous fat 25, the skin and fat 25 are peeled back, the internal viscera is returned to where it belongs, an incision is made in the peritoneum 24 and the prosthesis 10 is inserted into the hernial opening and deployed as shown. In particular, the combined or dual layer 11, 12 is spread out internally of and adjacent to the peritoneum 24 with the adhesion resistant layer 11 facing the internal viscera. The second and separate layer of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material 13 is spread out externally of and adjacent to the external fascia 23. The prosthesis 10 is positioned so that the hernial opening is covered and the midsectional seam 14 is centrally located in and extends along the space between the left and right rectus muscles 20 and 21.
FIG. 3D shows the hernial area after completion of the surgery. Sutures 30, 31, 36 and 37 are placed as shown, at a first longitudinal body location. Sutures 30 and 31 secure the inner dual layer 11, 12 of the prosthesis 10 to the abdominal wall structure, as shown. These sutures 30 and 31 may be installed from below by using a double needle technique. Sutures 36 and 37, on the other hand, secure the second mesh layer 13 to the outer fascial layer 23. All of sutures 30, 31, 36 and 37 are located so that no lateral tension is placed on either of the fascia layers 22 and 23 or on the rectus muscles 20 and 21. Additional sets of sutures are placed at other longitudinal body locations. In particular, it is desired that the four corners areas of prosthesis 10 be securely fastened to the abdominal wall structure.
After completion of the suturing, the skin and fat layer 25 is returned to its normal position, as shown in FIG. 3D. The incisional edges of the skin and fat layer 25 may be secured to one another by appropriate subsurface sutures (not shown).
A point to note is that the separate mesh layer 13 in FIGS. 3C and 3D is of lesser size than the dual layer 11, 12. This is a result of trimming of layer 13 by the surgeon prior to installation of the prosthesis 10.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 3C before the prosthesis 10 is completely implanted and is used to explain how the longer sutures, like sutures 30 and 31, are installed from within the abdominal cavity using a double needle technique. Suturing needles 32 and 33 are fastened to the two ends of suture 30 and suturing needles 34 and 35 are fastened to the two ends of suture 31.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the prosthesis 10 of FIGS. 3C and 3D and shows a representative manner in which multiple sutures may be located at various positions on the prosthesis 10. In particular, sutures 30 and 31 are located on the left and right sides and additional long sutures 40-3 are positioned in the four corner areas of the dual layer 11, 12. All long sutures have suturing needles attached to the two ends thereof, for example, needles 44 and 45 for suture 40. The long sutures 30, 31 and 40-43 are preferably inserted through the dual layer 11, 12 in the manner shown in FIG. 5 before the prosthesis 10 is placed in the incisional area. The prosthesis 10 is thereafter positioned in the hernial opening with the dual layer 11, 12 and the single layer 13 in a loose, more or less open condition, as indicated in FIG. 4. The surgeon inserts his fingers into the hernial opening and, one suture at a time, grasps the pair of needles for each long suture and forces them upwardly through the peritoneum 24, the inner fascia 22, the rectus muscle and the outer fascia 23. After insertion through the abdominal structure, the long sutures are left loose and dangling, in the manner shown in FIG. 4 for sutures 30 and 31, until after all long sutures have been installed. After all long sutures have been installed, they are drawn up tight and tied off in the manner shown for sutures 30 and 31 in FIG. 3D, the excess suture length being cut off and removed, along with the attached needles.
After attachment of the dual layer 11, 12, the single or outer layer 13 of prosthesis 10 is attached to the outer fascia layer 23. One manner of doing this is by means of short sutures, such as represented by sutures 36 and 37 in FIG. 3D and sutures 46 in FIG. 5. Another manner of doing this is by means of fascial staples, as represented by staples 47 in FIG. 5. These short sutures and/or staples are installed from the exterior side of the abdominal structure in a conventional manner. After completion of the suturing, the skin and fat layer 25 is returned to its normal position, as shown in FIG. 3D.
What happens after installation of the prosthesis 10 is of particular interest. The body tissue, particularly the fascia 22 and 23 and the peritoneum 24 commence to incorporate themselves into the mesh structure of the mesh layers 12 and 13 of the prosthesis 10. Sensing the presence of the mesh material, the body tissue sends out fibrous tissue which grows in, around and through and thoroughly entwines itself with the prosthesis mesh material 12 and 13. In this manner, the prosthesis 10 becomes securely attached to and, in effect, becomes an integral part of the host body tissue. This provides a very strong repair with little likelihood of a recurrent hernia.
A primary purpose of the sutures, such as sutures 30, 31, 36, 37, 40-43 and 46, are to prevent rotation or migration of the prothesis 10 during the tissue ingrowth process. In addition, the geometry of the prosthesis 10 is such that it tends to keep itself properly positioned for the duration of the tissue incorporation process. The pressure exerted by the abdominal viscera keeps the dual layer 11, 12 of the prosthesis 10 in place against the underside of the peritoneum 24, the skin and fat layer 25 keeps the separate mesh layer 13 in place against the outer fascia layer 23 and the midsectional seam 14 resists rotation or migration of the prosthesis 10. After the tissue ingrowth process, the prosthesis 10 is securely attached to the fascia and the hernial area is, in most cases, stronger than a corresponding healthy, unherniated abdominal structure.
A point to note is that the geometry of the prosthesis 10, when implanted in the human body (as illustrated in FIG. 3D), closely resembles the geometry of the original unherniated fascial structure. And substantially no lateral tension is placed on the fascia or the rectus muscles. Thus, the hernial area is restored to its original pristine condition.
The layer of adhesion resistant material 11 serves to prevent any adhesion of the internal body viscera to the prosthesis 10. A suitable material for fabrication of the adhesion resistant layer 11 is any one of the following materials: a polytetrafluoroethylene polymer material of the type distributed by W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. of Newark, Del. under the trade name "Gore-Tex"; a silicone elastomer material of the type distributed by Dow Corning Corporation of Midland, Mich. under the trade name "Silastic"; and a Teflon material of the type distributed by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del.
A suitable material for fabrication of the first and second layers of tissue ingrowth receptive mesh material 12 and 13 is any one of the following materials: a polypropylene mesh material of the type distributed by C. R. Brad, Inc. of Murray Hill, N.J. under the trade name "Marlex"; a polyethylene mesh material of the type distributed by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del. under the trade name "Alathon"; and a Dacron mesh material or a Nylon mesh material of the type distributed by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del.
If the seam forming connecting thread 14 of the prosthesis 10 is to be exposed to the internal viscera, then it should be made of adhesion resistant material. In such case, it may be, for example, a thread of polytetrafluoroethylene polymer material of the type sold under the trade name "Gore-Tex" by W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
While there have been described what are at present considered to be preferred embodiments of this invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the invention and it is, therefore, intended to cover all such changes and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Air pollution from continuous expansion in city sizes, large-scale industrial production, rapid development and sustained urban traffic causes great negative impacts on the health and daily lives of residents. Many appliance manufacturers see this phenomenon as a market opportunity to sell air purifiers. Existing air purifiers on the market today can be mainly differentiated by their purification technology and material. In terms of external outlook, however, they seem to have the same visual language. As a response to the homogeneity of air purifiers on the markets, AIR BLOOM aims to fully optimise the air purifying function and encourages physical user interaction at the same time. Its design does not only consider the product function, but also the user, the environment and the overall relationship of these factors. The result is a product that is able to completely immerse in any environment and displayed as a sophisticated piece of art. Clean air and the natural environment have a symbiotic relationship. As such, AIR BLOOM borrows inspiration from nature and translates the internal logic and ecological characteristics of nature into the air purifier's function and floral form.

" Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart? "
St. Gerard Majella C.Ss.R
The Redemptorists in Rome have produced a fabulous document on our history.
Watch Here! Enjoy and Learn...
The Redemptorists Our History
In the eighteenth century a promising young lawyer called Alphonsus de Liguori felt he was being called to make a difference for the poor and abandoned of his day. He too asked the question
" What must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"In what way am I being called to be fulfilled,
to have a life worth living?"
He found his answer in forming a small band of missionaries in Italy. He did this with the help of a visionary sister and co-founder of the Redemptorists, her name was Maria Celeste Crostarosa. They decided that the missionaries would be called 'The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer'.
That initial step was truly blessed by God and his congregation exists and thrives today all around the world.
A preaching that awakens, a preaching that enlightens - as when a light turned on awakes and of course annoys a sleeper- that is the preaching of Christ, calling: Wake up! Be converted! That is the Church's authentic teaching. Naturally, such teaching must meet conflict, must meet misplaced prestige, must disturb, must be persecuted. It cannot get along with the powers of darkness and sin.
Archbishop Oscar Romero
Today, there are so many people who do not experience the Gospel as Good or as News. It is our mission to help these people experience the love that God has for them. As Redemptorists our whole life becomes a channel for Christ's redeeming love, especially for the poor and abandoned, whether in spirit, mind or body. We believe that as we dedicate our lives to the service of others in need, we are doing something supremely valuable and wonderfully satisfying. In doing so, we each become a living memory 'viva memoria' of Christ's life, death and ressurrection.
Much of who we are is what we owe to others; to my family and the Redemptorists I owe my life.
Denis McBride C.Ss.R. Hawkstone
As an international Catholic Religious Congregation with membership of about 6,000 men, our presence is felt in every corner of the world. In whatever way we can, we try to bring Jesus our Redeemer into the very heart of daily life. Whether in working with those searching for a deeper understanding of faith, or celebrating the liturgy each day in our parishes, or encountering people in the inner city, we offer people a new and exciting glimple of a loving Father who calls us by name.
It doesn't matter what part of the world we come from, or what culture we were brought up in, we all share some important things in common. We are all men of faith whose driving force is the gospel. We have a passion for the Gospel and we have a passion for people. We seek to bring these two passions together.
In prayer a conversation with Christ develops and makes us his intimate friends.
It would be impossible for someone to become a Redemptorist without either of these qualities. The Gospel is not meant to be mere words on paper, but a lived experience of love: love of God the Father, love of the person of Jesus Christ and love of neighbour. We believe it is possible for everyone, regardless of social or economic background, to experience Jesus Christ in a deep and personal way. We make their hopes and dreams our own.
Strong in faith, rejoicing in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, in humility of heart and persevering in prayer, Redemptorists as apostolic men and genuine disciples of Saint Alphonsus follow Christ the Redeemer with hearts full of joy; denying themselves and always ready to undertake what is demanding, they share in the mystery of Christ and proclaim it in Gospel simplicity of life and language, that they may bring to people plentiful redemption.
The Redemptorist missionary - Redemptorist constitutions 20
The Redemptorist congregation exists to "follow the example of Jesus Christ the Redeemer by preaching the word of God to the Poor," as he declared of himself: "He sent me to preach Good News to the Poor." The pursuit of this objective is an onerous task. With good humour and dedication the Redemptorists apply themselves to the achievement of this gospel goal. In reality this demands a serious commitment of resources and energy to a varied and diverse number of ministries.
Our congregation exists because of this belief, and has survived to this day because we believe it passionately.
Our History in this part of the World
OUR HISTORY IN THIS PART OF WORLD...
In June of 1843 three Redemptorists, two priests and one brother, arrived in Cornwall from Belgium to found a mission, of the three only one of them could speak English. Despite obvious difficulties the Redemptorists proved themselves to be excellent preachers and it mattered little should they be preaching to Catholics or non-Catholics.
Four years later the Belgian Provincial, Fr de Held came out of office and was appointed to England. Traveling through London he was persuaded to look at property in South London, which had once belonged to Lord Teighnmouth. And so began a long and successful history between London and the Redemptorists.
With the Church built, the Redemptorists set to work, attracting people from far and wide. There were confessions, Masses, sermons and instructions, not to mention the Confraternity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the St Vincent de Paul Society, a Catholic lending library, and all sorts of extra liturgical devotions such as Benediction, Litany and Rosary, the Way of Cross, devotions to the Infant Jesus, for a Happy Death, the Quarant' Ore and all kinds of devotional things in honour of Our Lady.
While this work went on in London, other work was underway in spreading the Good News of the Lord. Two new houses were also opened, in Limerick and in Liverpool and much of the work the Redemptorists were founded for was carried out; mission preaching.
It was then decidedthat this new missionary development needed more independence from Belgium, and so the General Chapter declared that a new Anglo-Dutch Vice-Province be established. The new province comprised of the houses on Amsterdam, Wittem, Bois-le-Duc, Clapham, Bishop Eton and Limerick. Back in the early days we were resident in three countries, England, Ireland and Holland.
Today we are geographically different and the London Province numbers 60 members in nine communities in England and Scotland. In our mission region of Zimbabwe we have 3 communities and a growing number of Redemptorist students. The international headquarters of the Redemptorists is in Rome, and the principal house of this province is in Perth (Scotland), which is the Provincial Residence.
The whole life of the Redemptorist is at the service of the Church; our special mission is the proclamation of the word of God. In the London Province our missionary work includes parish and school missions, renewal courses, retreats, publications, and staffing five parishes. Alphonsus' missionary work included theological and spiritual writing: today that work is continued by Redemptorist Publications, which is known worldwide. Also, both at Hawkstone Hall and at Kinnoull Perth, Scotland, we run renewal courses and retreats, and offer the facilities of our pastoral centres to other groups.

Early Navigators
From the earliest times, long before the advent of the tools of navigation, humans had acquired path finding skills relying solely on their senses: whether it be nomads traversing expanses of forbidding deserts, or aborigines making tracks through the bush in search of game, or Pacific islanders sailing their canoes over vast stretches of ocean, humans developed the ability to find their way over increasingly wider areas on the earth's surface. Unlike animals that have evolved with certain programmed sensitivities to the environment enabling them for example to orient themselves with respect to the sun, or the earth's magnetic field, the natural human pathfinders acquired a heightened awareness of the physical surroundings that helped define their path. This goes far beyond the general level of awareness that would be typical of a casual observer with an untrained eye; it entails sharp observation, in the sense of seeing with great clarity the significance of subtle nuances in the changing environment as they move, and to remember these in a time-ordered way. The early human navigators developed their navigational lore through oral tradition over generations of men who ventured out on trackless expanses of sea and sand.

The 2nd Youth Congress got on the way August 21, 2011. 27 Teams from 20 Countries are paticipating. Bulletin No 2 stated that: During the Opening Ceremony, the loudest applause was reserved for the Hungarian delegation, which apparently consisted of only one player, Kornel Lazar. We should point out this is a transnational event and he is playing on the Austrian team. Incidentally, the delegations of New Zealand (Liam Milne), Rumania (Radu Nistor) and Uruguay (Rodrigo Garcia) are equally numerous.

Non-Cognitive Skills Development and School-Based Violence Reduction in Central America.
Literature in psychology –particularly positive psychology—has extensively studied non-cognitive skills as a measure of wellbeing of individuals and as a "buffer" to reduce psychological disorders among young people (Park, 2004, Jordan and Rand, 2018).
From the behavioral economic perspective, enhancing non-cognitive skills can be a relevant policy because these skills may influence decision making and economic behavior (Haushofer and Fehr, 2014; DellaVigna, 2009; Loewenstein, 2000). Particularly, in the context of poverty, stress and emotional instability may lead to short-sighted and risk-averse decision-making. In that sense, instead of adopting behaviors that may generate greater returns, individuals end up favoring habitual low yield ones. This, in turn, can generate vicious cycles or psychological poverty traps (Haushofer and Fehr, 2014).
Moreover, exposure to high violence can exacerbate inefficiency in individuals' economic decisions. Existing evidence indicates that exposure to risky environments may have unwanted results on socio-emotional skills and further welfare outcomes (Peterson and Seligman, 2003; Baysan et al., 2018; Card and Dahl, 2011; Loewenstein, 2000). For at-risk people, the inability to regulate their emotions can make them more susceptible to respond to some stimuli with violence.
How can we tackle young people exposure to and participation in crime? After-school programs (ASP) are a type of intervention that can protect children, keeping them busy and off the streets during a time when they might be left alone and exposed to external risks, to preventing victimization and delinquent behavior (Gottfredson et al., 2004; Jacob and Lefgren, 2003; Newman et al., 2000). These programs can also act as an alternative source of learning and social development when they include a specific curriculum oriented to foster socio-emotional skills and impulsive responses control (Taheri and Welsh, 2016; Durlak et al., 2010; Eccles and Templeton, 2002).
This project aims to contribute to the economic literature and policy in two ways. First, it provides experimental evidence of the impact of three types of interventions: (i) extracurricular activities (EA, i.e. sports at school), (ii) mindfulness and EA, and (iii) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EA. We measure those interventions' impacts on academic performance, cognitive and non-cognitive development.
Second, this project aims to separate these learning and protection services from the ASP. We argue that the effects we can find from EA are determined by children's protection, while those from the other two interventions are mainly driven by the specific additional curriculum they are learning from the program.
The first intervention consists to participate in extra-curricular sports activities. In this treatment, children are not learning a specific curriculum, but are under adult supervision and protected from their risky contexts during a couple of hours. The second intervention is a combination between extra-curricular activities and a curriculum that promotes character strengths. In this program variation, students are protected and learn how to enhance their character or socio-emotional skills. The third intervention is a combination between extra-curricular clubs and a mindfulness program, including directed meditation for stress and anxiety reduction and control of automatic responses. Schools in the comparison group will not receive any of the three interventions.
Participants will meet once per week during one academic year (between 7-8 months). Each of the sessions is implemented after-school time, with an approximate duration of 1-1.5 hours. For methodological reasons, club sizes are between 13-15 participants on average.
This project aims to evaluate the impact of three interventions oriented to enhance participants' non-cognitive skills and character. Our target audience will consist of students enrolled in participants and comparison schools in Central America, with the ages between 12 and 16 years—second and third educational levels.
The first intervention consists to participate in extra-curricular activities that include dance, sports, art, among others. In this alternative, children are not learning a specific curriculum, but remain under adult supervision and protected from their risky contexts during a couple of hours. The second intervention is a combination of extra-curricular activities and a curriculum that promotes character strengths. In this program variation, students are protected and learn how to enhance their character or socio-emotional skills. The third intervention is a combination of extra-curricular clubs and a mindfulness program, including directed meditation for stress and anxiety reduction and control of automatic responses. Schools in the comparison group will not receive any of the three interventions.
(i) Strengths and Virtues (Peterson and Seligman, 2004), (ii) non-cognitive games using SoftGames App (Danon et al, 2018), (iii) Emotional reaction and regulation.
●	Strengths and Virtues. We will employ the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (Peterson and Seligman, 2004). It is a catalog of positive psychological traits, consisting of 240 items, ten for each of 24 different character strengths. Following Jordan and Rand (2018), we will use an adapted version that consists of only 24 items that ask directly about each character strength. Participants will be asked to respond, "It is natural and effortless for me to express my X CS". The scale is [Completely true; Very true; Somewhat true; Not true/untrue; Somewhat untrue; Very untrue; Completely untrue]. This instrument will be available in tablets.
○	GRIT: Grit Scale (Duckworth et al., 2007), Additions game, frustration task.
○	Risk taking behavior: Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART).
●	Emotions. We will proxy emotions using the artificial intelligence-based algorithm developed by Affectiva and the MIT Media Lab's Affective Computing Group. It uses the analysis of videos captured from the front camera of smartphones or tablets to proxy for emotions. The level of accuracy of this methodology is around 75-80%. Then, we will use the specifications of Egana-delSol (2016) to construct arousal (proxy of stress) and valence indices (proxy of emotional regulation) at resting state and in the onset of a positive and negative stimuli.
(iv) Administrative data on misbehavior and school attendance, and (v) academic performance using school records.
●	Misbehavior at school and attendance. It will be measured from the student behavior reports in the schools, that we will obtain through administrative reports of the teachers. They are in scale [excellent; very good; well; average; below average]. These categories can be transformed into scores that can go from 0-10 points.
●	Academic performance. Reports of math and student science notes on scales of 0-10 points will be standardized at the course level. These data will be collected from the administrative bases of the schools. In coordination with Ministries of Education, we will also develop a short quiz for math, to have a standardized test for all schools as in Rao (2018).
●	T1: Clubs: 1/3 of schools will be randomly assigned to the intervention of extracurricular clubs. Schools in this treatment will receive specific activities of the clubs including sports, languages, among others.
●	T2: T1 + CS: 1/3 of schools will be randomly assigned to the intervention of CS + extracurricular clubs (T1). In each of the sessions, schools in this treatment will first receive the curricula that encourage CS and in the second part of the session, the specific activities of the clubs are developed.
●	T3: T1 + Mindfulness: The remaining 1/3 of schools will be randomly assigned to the intervention of Mindfulness + extracurricular clubs (T1). In each of the sessions, schools in this treatment will first receive the curricula of Mindfulness and in the second part of the session, the specific activities of the extracurricular clubs.
In addition, we will identify 7 schools that will serve as a comparison group. Exploiting information from National Educational Censuses, we will use matching in propensity score approach to identify schools that are more like to those treated. From these comparison schools, we will gather information to characterize the potential demand for the Clubs.
The final sample should be 2552 students, 638 from comparison schools and 1582 from treated schools, that accounts for an average of 92 students per school.
Assuming power of 0.80 and a reliability of 0.95, from a total of 28 schools we will require a sample with size of 2320 students, 580 from comparison and 1740 from treated schools. On average, we must recruit 83 students per school. However, estimating an attrition of 10%, the final sample should be 2552 students, 638 from comparison schools and 1582 from treated schools, that accounts for an average of 92 students per school.
Using previous evidence of Dinarte and Egana-Del Sol (2018), the expected effect of an intervention aimed at improving socio-emotional skills of adolescents participating in these interventions is between 0.17 and 0.10 standard deviations on behavior in school and academic performance, respectively. From that data, we also use mean and standard deviations of these two outcomes from the control group, correlations between baseline and follow-up of 0.81 and an intra-school correlation of 0.03. Assuming power of 0.80 and a reliability of 0.95, from a total of 28 schools we will require a sample with size of 2320 students, 580 from comparison and 1740 from treated schools. On average, we must recruit 83 students per school. However, estimating an attrition of 10%, the final sample should be 2552 students, 638 from comparison schools and 1582 from treated schools, that accounts for an average of 92 students per school.

Well-travelled Joanna Lumley retraces her roots in an exploration of modern India.
I was born in India and lived there until I was nearly a year old. My parents were brought up in India and they had family on both sides going back to the 18th century. They said that, no matter how long you live there, you will never really know India, because it's too big and too complex. This was quite a challenge for us making the programme – where to start? I just wanted to show things and places which were not the obvious tourist spots.
Was it emotional at times?
My father and my sister were both born in what is now Pakistan but was India at the time. We didn't visit there, and some chunks of my family history are missing, but yes, it is a bit of a personal journey. It's lovely when I can say my grandfather lived here or that picture is my uncle over there. It was quite something going back to Kashmir; I've been back before, but each time I think, this is where I drew my first breath, and it was in India, and it was here in Srinagar. It made me feel very humble.
How did you feel about seeing the British Residency, where your mother grew up?
It was lovely in Sikkim. I come from an unsentimental family because we moved all the time. It was home to us for a bit, but it wasn't our home, it was where the political officer (my grandfather) lived at the time. It was special to see, but we come from a travelling tribe. That said, I felt a strange feeling of sudden happiness knowing my mother, as a little girl, rode her pony across the ground I was standing on.
You experienced both extremes of India, the excess and the poverty. Were you surprised by anything you saw?
I think what surprised me this time was how much India has changed since my last visit, about six years ago. It seems much cleaner. Also, I was shocked by how many plastic bags they use – 10 million a day are thrown away. I was taken aback by the progress of India: Mumbai and Delhi are supercities now. Gurugram, next to Delhi, is called a cyber city; it's like something from a science-fiction film, the buildings they have created and the progress they have made. India really is a sensational country.
What were the highlights from this series for you?
It's impossible to pick – so, so many. The beauty of the Ellora Caves in Aurangabad, which are temples carved in great detail out of rock; the excavation is as deep as the height of St Paul's Cathedral. Also, meeting the Dalai Lama; seeing elephants in the wild; filming tigers; visiting some of the poorest people in the world; staying with a [modernday] maharaja – I haven't got a favourite, except every day waking up in India was special.
