But enforcing that law and changing public attitudes to child labour is not proving easy. Late one night in Madras, a passer-by found two girls huddled together for shelter under a bridge. (0 L ) At first the passer-by thought they had run away from home, but when he questioned them, it turned out their story was more sinister. They were child domestic servants, sent from their home miles away to work in the house of a rich family in Madras. Their employer had beaten them so badly the two sisters had decided to run away.

When they were taken to hospital later, it was discovered they had severe burns on their legs.

The past year has seen a number of significant developments in this area, not least the growing involvement of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), whose impact was only just starting to be felt a year ago. Work has now started on 20 of the 51 industrial topics identified within the Monuments’ Protection Programme. Work on lead and coal is complete, and we are putting forward proposals for future management of 300 sites including 200 schedulings. Work is almost complete on the alum, brass and gunpowder industries, and is well-advanced on a further seven. At the time of writing (mid-September) we were still awaiting decisions by the Secretary of State for National Heritage on the 32 new listings and four upgradings recommended in September 1995 as a result of the thematic survey of Manchester mills. This was the first thematic survey to be the subject of public consultation; it is therefore disappointing that, as a result of the delay in reaching a decision, five of the candidates for listing have already been damaged or lost through demolition.

Here at the start of the twenty- first century, emerging technologies and activities– such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, ebooks, YouTube videos, massive open online courses (MOOCs), simulations, virtual worlds, and wireless and mobile computing – are generating waves of new opportunities in higher education, K-12 schools, corporate training, and other learning environments.

Extreme learning explores the way that people use technology in novel, unique, or unusual ways in a variety of settings As a first step in our research, over three hundred extreme learning Websites were identified as containing some aspect of extreme learning and an in-depth analysis of the content of these Websites was conducted. Each site was independently rated by four researchers, according to eight predetermined criteria. The resulting list of resources was categorized six areas: language learning, outdoor/adventure learning, social change/global learning, virtual education, learning portal, and shared online video. Among six categories, this paper will focus primarily on the adventure learning Web sites that were identified. Findings from analysis of the adventure learning website will be discussed as they relate to the other categories.

Extreme Learning is an emerging area of research that is related to adventure learning and other types of non-traditional learning. Extreme Learning explores the way that people use technology in novel, unique, or unusual ways in a variety of settings to change some aspect of their lives. As a first step in our research, 135 Extreme Learning Web sites were identified and an in-depth analysis of the content of the Web sites was conducted. Each site was independently rated by four team members according to eight predetermined criteria. This presentation will focus primarily on the Outdoor/Adventure Learning Web sites that were identified. Other Web resources categories that were rated include Online Language Learning, Virtual Education, Societal Change/Global Learning, and Other/Miscellaneous. Introduction Despite all the hope and possibilities for open education and open learning (Iiyoshi & Kumar, 2008), minimal is known about new learning formats and delivery mechanisms for open education. Questions arise about the tools and systems that might prove attractive to informal or nontraditional learners. In particular, areas such as outdoor, environmental, and adventure learning bring unique learning opportunities that were seldom possible before (Doering & Veletsianos, 2008).

Ambition, creativity and achievement abound in all those groups. The clearest evidence of all three qualities was apparent at the end of September when, on an extraordinarily balmy Friday afternoon, Jeremy Filsell (Keble 1982) gave the inaugural recital on the new Tickell organ in the College chapel. It was a splendid occasion on which we were able to celebrate the generosity of those who had contributed to this important project. One of the pieces in the recital programme, and receiving its first performance, was a Toccata written by Professor John Caldwell, Music Fellow here from 1967-92. The College now has an instrument which is perhaps the best in Oxford. This is rather shorter than previous letters from the Warden in The Record. That reflects the fact that we are changing the format of College publications and I and others now have the opportunity to write on various aspects of the life of the College in different formats.

  • Missional Leadership’ and Its Challenges Become Contextually Obsolete and Irrelevant
    CROSSROADS Churches in many Western countries are faced with an adaptive challenge. Adaptive chal- An Exploration of the Emerging-Missional lenges arise when deeply held beliefs are challenged, when the solutions that once worked well become less appropriate, and when legitimate, yet competing, perspectives emerge. Conversation with a Special Focus on Adaptive problems will not go away by ignoring them, or by making technical adjustments. Many churches in the West need to change their vision and practices thoroughly, in order not to ‘Missional Leadership’ and Its Challenges become contextually obsolete and irrelevant. Since this has to do with innovation and change, for Theological Education Robert Doornenbal it will require leadership. Change seems to be especially necessary in the areas of theological envisioning; worship, spirituality and (local) church culture; and organizational structures. These areas have a direct impact on leadership, while also having consequences for leader education. This study aims to describe and analyze views on these topics in the so-called ‘Emerging- Missional Conversation’ that is currently under way in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among other countries. Based on an exploration of this Crossroads ‘conversation’ and views therein on missional leadership and leader education, challenges are formulated for protestant institutes that aim to educate future leaders of the church. This ground-breaking book is essential reading for anyone wanting to refl ect on the identity and calling of the church in the twenty-fi rst century, and be involved in working this out in reality. This includes ministers and other leaders in the church, particularly those working in theological education.

The following selection, which appeared in the June 2010 edition of OWL magazine, presents arguments from two readers about an issue involving a 14-year-old girl who wanted to sail around the world alone. Sink or Sail 1 Laura Dekker is a 14-year-old from the Netherlands who wants to set off this summer to become the youngest person to sail around the world solo. But the courts in her home country don’t think that she, or anyone her age, is up to the task. Last October, a judge ruled that Laura must put her plans on hold until July, at which time the court will take another look at the case. Laura Dekker on Her Sailboat © Arie Kievit 2 This month, two OWL readers debate the question: Should teenagers be allowed to sail around the world solo? Luka, 12 3 Yes, I think a 14-year-old should be allowed to sail around the world alone, but only if he or she is trained or has the experience that Laura has. 4 I am 12 years old, and I have been sailing since I was eight. I am a single- handed sailor, which means that I am trained to sail a boat alone.
