PAPS is now 49 years old and like fine wine, simply gets better with age . Not simply because of the skill and vision of those on the board, but because our members (currently 530 surgeons residing in 23 countries) have remained faithful to the ideals of its founders and founding objectives, and that is to promote both educational as well as social bonds among PAPS members . I have been to many, many PAPS meetings and I can honestly say that no other Pediatric Annual Congress is as informal (the ‘no ties’ rule is always in full effect) as PAPS, or parties as hard as PAPS . This is what I believe makes PAPS truly unique and special; that serious and frank discussions regarding the latest happenings in Pediatric Surgery can openly take place between members with everyone on the same playing field . You will not find dogmatic, narrow and rigid views of Pediatric Surgery at PAPS or any of its annual meetings, but instead a larger, broader view in which you can educate yourself on as you seek to become a better, more complete and wise physician . I extend a warm hand of friendship to you to invite you to this 49th Annual Meeting of PAPS here on the beautiful and tranquil island of Kaua‘i . Mr . Charles Nainoa Thompson will deliver the 2016 PAPS GANS Lecture . He is an internationally recognized native Hawaiian navigator, the President of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and is best known for achieving the daunting feat of navigating two double-hulled canoes from Hawaii to other island nations in Polynesia without the aid of western instruments . Professor Prem Puri from Dublin, Ireland will give the 2016 PAPS Keynote Lecture . Professor Prem Puri is known all over the world for his outstanding contribution to the development of pediatric surgery and research and he will give an interesting and informative talk on pediatric surgeons who have crossed boundaries and have made significant contributions to other fields in medicine such as angiogenesis and tissue engineering . Dr . Devin Puapong, our Local Organizing Chair, and Dr . Mark Holterman, Program Chair, have worked hard to ensure that the 49th Annual PAPS meeting will be the best and biggest one yet, filled with much learning and laughter . I am very much looking forward to seeing (and drinking with) you all over the next few days . Fun times at Hawaii PAPS await us . Warmest best regards, Atsuyuki Yamataka, MD, PhD President of the Pacific Association of Pediatric Surgeons PAPS 2016 | 6 PAPS 2016 WELCOME FROM LOCAL ORGANIZING AND SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM COMMITTEES Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the local organizing committee and the scientific program committee, we would like to extend a warm Aloha and welcome you to the 49th Annual Meeting of the Pacific Association of Pediatric Surgeons here on the beautiful Garden Isle of Kaua‘i . With the generous help of Hawai‘i Pacific Health’s Conference Planning Services, we have put together what promises to be an exciting and meaningful scientific and social program . As mentioned by Professor Yamataka, we are honored to welcome Professor Prem Puri, as our invited keynote speaker and Hawai‘i’s own, Nainoa Thompson as our special Gans Lecturer . We are also excited to introduce our visiting GAP lecturers, Dr . Thanh Dinh from Vietnam and Dr . Basil Leodoro from Vanuatu . No PAPS conference would be complete without our annual conference tour, which this year, will take us from the Koke’e Mountains of Waimea to the shores of Lihue and looks to immerse you in the beauty of Hawai‘i’s nature, culture, and people . PAPS has a great history of fostering not only learning, but also collegiality and friendships between pediatric surgeons across the globe, and we certainly hope this meeting will contribute to that rich tradition . Aloha and welcome to Kaua‘i! Mark J. Holterman, MD, PhD Devin P.

    1 Changes in Tzu Chi. by Yu-Shuang Yao and Richard Gombrich

    Changes in Tzu Chi. By Yu-Shuang Yao and Richard Gombrich, October 2014. Tzu Chi will soon be fifty years old. Since 2010 it has been the subject of almost 300 graduate theses written in Taiwan, and that number will surely have increased before this paper is published.1 There has been widespread criticism of Tzu Chi for its lack of traditional Buddhist ritual and public observance of Buddhist festivals. Indeed, the movement has generally appeared somewhat austere in its lack of ritual and public spectacle, an austerity very much in the spirit of Tai Xu’s criticism of the Chinese Buddhism of his day. This year, on May 11th, Tzu Chi showed a new face to the world. The Buddha’s birthday (according to the Chinese Buddhist calendar) was celebrated in every branch of Tzu Chi worldwide. In Hualien the Master herself presided over a spectacular celebration involving, we estimate, nearly 2000 participants. These participants included the Tzu Chi nuns, who live in Hualien at the Abode, the movement’s headquarters; they normally lead reclusive lives and are not seen in public; so far as we can tell, this is the first time that they have taken part in any public ceremony. A similar ceremony was held on an even larger scale in Taipei at the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, and was observed by 300 members of the Buddhist Saṅgha who had been invited from around the world. This is the first time that representatives of other Buddhist movements, let alone ordained members of those movements, have been invited by Tzu Chi.

(Ef)Facing the Face of Nationalism: Wrestling Masks in Chicano and Mexican Performance Art Abstract Masks serve as particularly effective props in contemporary Mexican and Chicano performance art because of a number of deeply rooted traditions in Mexican culture. This essay explores the mask as code of honor in Mexican culture, and foregrounds the manner in which a number of contemporary Mexican and Chicano artists and performers strategically employ wrestling masks to (ef)face the mask- like image of Mexican or U.S. nationalism. I apply the label "performance artist" broadly, to include musicians and political figures that integrate an exaggerated sense of theatricality into their performances.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

    Taiwan's Tzu Chi As Engaged Buddhism

    BSRV 30.1 (2013) 137–139 Buddhist Studies Review ISSN (print) 0256-2897 doi: 10.1558/bsrv.v30i1.137 Buddhist Studies Review ISSN (online) 1747-9681 Taiwan’s Tzu Chi as Engaged Buddhism: Origins, Organization, Appeal and Social Impact, by Yu-Shuang Yao. Global Oriental, Brill, 2012. 243pp., hb., £59.09/65€/$90, ISBN-13: 9789004217478. Reviewed by Ann Heirman, Oriental Languages and Cultures, Ghent University, Belgium. Keywords Tzu Chi, Taiwanese Buddhism, Engaged Buddhism Taiwan’s Tzu Chi as Engaged Buddhism is a well-written book that addresses a most interesting topic in Taiwanese Buddhism, namely the way in which Engaged Buddhism found its way into Taiwan in, and through, the Tzu Chi Foundation (the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation). Founded in 1966, the Foundation expanded in the 1990s, and so became the largest lay organiza- tion in a contemporary Chinese context. The overwhelming involvement of the laity introduced a new aspect, and has triggered major changes in Taiwanese Buddhism. The present book offers a most welcome comprehensive study of the Foundation, discussing its context, development, structure, teaching and prac- tices. With its focus on both the history and the social context, the work devel- ops an interesting interdisciplinary approach, offering valuable insights into the appeal of the movement to a Taiwanese public. Nevertheless, some remarks still need to be made. The work is based on research that was completed in 2001, and research updates have not been pro- duced since, apart from a small Afterword (pp. 228-230). Yet not publishing the present work would have been a loss to the scientific community.
