Drowning is a global health issue, bigger then many accept, and is almost entirely preventable. The vision for the International Life Saving Federation [ILS] is “ A World free from drowning” The ILS is a World authority on drowning prevention, and leads, supports and collaborates with national and international organisations engaged in drowning prevention, water safety, water rescue and lifesaving. One of the ILS strategic priorities is to provide leadership in the global effort to prevent drowning with an emphasis on reducing drowning of children, indigenous and other marginalised communities at risk, in developing countries and regions with high drowning mortality. The WCDP 2015 brings together the ILS member organisations and the world’s leading practitioners, researchers and policy makers in drowning prevention, rescue, lifesaving and water safety, for exchange, debate and review of the latest progress on drowning prevention. The ILS is extremely proud that the WCP 2015 is co-sponsored by the World Health Organisation [WHO]. The co- sponsorship of the WCDP 2015 by WHO, marks a significant step in the joint effort by ILS and WHO to raise global, regional and national awareness of drowning and its prevention. This will be the first time that the drowning prevention community has met since the publication by WHO of the “Global report on drowning: preventing a leading killer” in November 2014. The report is the first WHO has undertaken that is dedicated exclusively to drowning to target and identify a global strategic prevention effort. A key recommendation of the report is that a global partnership for drowning prevention should be established in order to serve, implement and lead communities, to address the issue of drowning prevention. ILS embraces the WHO conclusions and recommendation to support the establishment of a global partnership and collaboration in the efforts to prevent drowning. Key themes arising from the Global report on drowning will be explored during plenary sessions, symposia and parallel session papers delivered by over 200 presenters from 50 nations. Symposia investigating the use of lifejackets, child- drowning prevention measures, identifying and responding to drowning data gaps, and CPR protocols will all feature at WCDP 2015. On behalf of ILS, I would like to thank the Life Saving Society Malaysia, its President Lim Chien Cheng and the organising committee for hosting the World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2015. The WCDP 2015 provides a significant opportunity to make a difference and advance the cause of the global reduction of drowning. We express our sincere gratitude to everyone attending the World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2015 in Penang Malaysia and I look forward to meeting all the participants at the conference. Mr Graham Ford President International Life Saving Federation 4 WORLD CONFERENCE ON DROWNING PREVENTION 2015 Lifesaving Society Malaysia President Foreword - Life Saving Society Malaysia The Life Saving Society Malaysia (LSSM) is honoured to host the World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2015 (WCDP 2015) as a co-sponsor with the International Life Saving Federation (ILS) and the World Health Organization (WHO). On behalf of LSSM, I wish to acknowledge our appreciation to the Malaysian Government and the State Government of Penang for supporting our bid to have the conference here in Penang, Malaysia. This conference is an important event to the ILS and to WHO as a biennial forum for discussing drowning prevention activities on a global basis. LSSM had made a bid in Potsdam, Germany, in 2013 to host WCDP 2015 in Malaysia with the hope that the conference here will establish a legacy for drowning prevention activities in our country and the region. LSSM believes that discussions at the conference will be instructive to the Malaysian Government and to regional authorities in their respective efforts to reduce drowning. In this regard, LSSM is hopeful that the Malaysian Government will agree to coordinate drowning prevention activities in Malaysia under a national Water Safety Council that will soon be formed, comprising government authorities, the Malaysian National Institute of Safety and Health and NGOs. It is also hoped that regional authorities will look closely at the Malaysian Water Safety Council and share in its developments. We are certain that international participants of this conference will find Malaysia affordable, interesting and easily accessible. There are myriads of tourism products in Malaysia and particularly in George Town, Penang, a UNESCO- listed heritage city. Malaysia is a multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country, and these are expressed in its architecture, languages and ethnicity, and variety of food. As hosts, we will ensure that participants experience our city and our country. I am proud to announce that as at the date of this address, WCDP 2015 has attracted more than 400 delegates from over 50 countries, all foremost experts in their own country and in their own field in drowning prevention, rescue, lifesaving, and water safety and water sports. Each participant in this conference will hear from more than 200 speakers on various related topics over three days, and will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and exchange their ideas on the latest developments on drowning prevention activities with each other. The conference will be discussing WHO’s Global report on drowning: preventing a leading killer published in November 2014, which revealed that drowning claims the lives of 372,000 people each year and is among the ten leading causes of death for children and young people in every region. Globally, over half of all drowning deaths are among those aged under 25 years, and more than 90% of drowning occurs in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with nations in the African, South‐East Asian and Western Pacific regions having the highest rates. WCDP 2015 will highlight effective drowning prevention strategies for Malaysia and the ASEAN region, and populations at risk throughout the world. For the stakeholders in water safety in the region, this conference is a good time to leverage on the knowledge of world experts, all gathered here at one conference, without having to travel far and wide to hear them. I wish to thank my committee, who worked hard over the last two years to see that the conference proceedings will be smooth, the ILS, WHO, and everyone involved in the planning and organising of WCDP 2015. In particular, I wish to acknowledge and thank the RLSSA for advising and guiding LSSM in organising this conference. Lim Chien Ch’eng President Life Saving Society Malaysia BRIDGING COMMUNITIES TO PREVENT DROWNING 5 Committees Program and Thematic Review Committees The World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2015 scientific program was developed after two calls for abstracts, an extensive review process by the Thematic Chairs and reviewers. These groups reviewed abstract, guided program development and were given opportunities to recommend keynotes, symposiums and workshops. Following the evaluation of papers and speakers, the WCDP 2015 program was developed.

  • Download Martin Clune's Citation
    9 Nov 2007, 1030 MARTIN CLUNES Pro-Chancellor, Martin Clunes is an actor of national renown who has played in a very wide range of film, television and stage productions, and first achieved his huge following for his role as Gary in Men Behaving Badly. His many other successes include the lead role in Doc Martin, and in feature films such as Shakespeare in Love. He is a son of the classical actor Alec Clunes and a cousin of the late Jeremy Brett, television’s Sherlock Holmes, so perhaps Martin’s school should not have been taken by surprise when he told the careers adviser that he too wanted to be an actor. The headmaster was discouraging (‘it’s not going to happen: buckle down’) but a teacher who evidently had some foresight saw his potential and put him in Love’s Labour’s Lost as Costard, the clown who is also very much at home with wit and wordplay. So his first performance was a comedy part in a classic play, and if comedy drama has been his forte ever since, he has by no means lost contact with the classics. Martin went to the Arts Educational Schools in London, on the strength of an audition, at the age of 16, and then into repertory, now more often playing Shakespeare’s courtiers than his fools. He made his name in the long-running TV situation comedy Men Behaving Badly, where he played Gary Strang, a character described (and I quote) as a ‘lager-loving loafer’. The show, its stars and and its writer have won many awards, and it was voted the best sitcom in the BBC's history at the Corporation's 60th anniversary celebrations in 1996.

In my visits and phone conversations with RESOURCES & various federal, state, and local government staff, the one thing folks are unanimous PUBLICATIONS about is that we really just don’t know what to expect. So for now, we play a game of wait and see while internally strategizing new ways to continue moving our various POTPOURRI missions forward. CALENDAR OF EVENTS I personally predict a flurry of lawsuits over the next few years as we are experiencing a INDEX level of divisiveness in this country that we have not seen in several decades. Wetland regulations and jurisdictional determinations have a long history of being contested in the legal system – and I expect we’ll see new challenges on many fronts to existing policies as well as new ones such as the reissued Section 404 Nationwide Permits just To view the January released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (see story in Editor’s Choice). issue of Wetland Breaking News as well as In the Editor’s Choice section this month, I have included a couple of stories regarding past issues on our U.S. Supreme Court cases.
