Montreux

Montreux lies on the north east shore of Lake Geneva at the fork in the Roman road from Italy over the Simplon Pass, where the roads to the Roman capital of Aventicum and the road into Gaul through Besançon separated. This made it an important settlement already in Roman times.
In the 12th century, viticulture was introduced to the region, and the sunny slopes of the lake from Lavaux to Montreux became an important wine-growing region.
The region was subject to various princes, most notably the princes of Savoy from the south side of the lake. They unified the territory which comprises the present canton of Vaud and were generally popular sovereigns.

LCB 5th Anniversary

Laksamana College of Business (LCB) marked its 5th anniversary at The Rizqun International Hotel in Gadong.

"We have noticed that Brunei Darussalam's growth and prosperity over the years can be largely attributed to our continued large amounts of investment in education.
"Recently, Brunei formulated a long-term development plan encompassing a national vision known as 'Wawasan Brunei 2035.'
"The aim of this national vision is to make Brunei, by 2035, a nation that is widely recognised for the accomplishment of its well-educated and highly skilled people, a high standard of living as well as dynamic and sustainable economy," he added.
"We appreciate and applaud the proactive approach of private education institutions like LCB, which offer professional to academic qualifications and produces graduates equipped with the latest knowledge and information, which are at the same time, business-oriented and industry-relevant.

"The objective of tertiary education cannot solely be the acquisition of academic knowledge. It is important that the education received by the students is holistic in nature and prepares them for life.
"We do not want graduates who merely regurgitate the knowledge they received while in college or university," the minister added.
"I hope that LCB and other private institutions of higher learning will continue to work with the government in realising our common objectives of developing a dynamic and talented pool of graduates to strengthen our human capital, and, of promoting Brunei Darussalam as the premier destination for quality education in the region," the minister concluded.
Also present at the anniversary celebration were LCB Director/ Principal Ian Pirie, British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam John Saville, and Pehin Orang Kaya Ratna Setia Dato Setia Hj Awang Abdul Hapidz bin Pehin Orang Kaya Laksamana Hj Awang Abdul Razak.

Bali

The Bali Arts Festival is a full month of daily performances, handicraft exhibitions and other related cultural and commercial activities during which literally the whole of Bali comes to the city to present its offerings of dance, music and beauty. On display are trances from remote mountain slopes, forgotten or recently revived village dances,

food and offering contests, classical palace dances, stars of Balinese stage, odd musical performances, "kreasi baru" (new creations) from the dance schools of Denpasar, as well as contemporary choreography and dance companies from other islands and from abroad.

One of the most spectacular ceremonies in Bali is probably the cremation ceremony. In Balinese this ceremony is called Ngaben. Ofcourse, like any ceremony in Bali, the cremation ceremony's size and spectacle depends on the importance of the deceased, and the money spend. While the poorest of the Balinese are buried, and finally cremated in group cremations, the people with some more money to spend are cremated right away. One thing is for sure, the body needs to be burned to set the soul free from worldly ties, and to start a new life in a world that is supposed to be as beautiful as Bali itself.When the body of the deceased is carried to the place where the cremation is to take place, the often very beautiful and colorful temple-like structure called Wadah with the body is shaken and turned by the people carrying it, to make sure the soul doesn't find its way back home.

Subak is the name of water management (irrigation) system for paddy fields on Bali island. For Balinese, irrigation is not simply providing water for the plant's roots, but water is used to construct a complex, pulsed artificial ecosystem.[1] Paddy fields in Bali were built around water temples and the allocation of water is made by a priest.
The Green Revolution resulted in changes to this system - new rice varieties and new methods meant that farmers were encouraged to plant as frequently as possible, disregarding the irrigation schedules of other farmers. This was in contrast to the subak allocations in which larger areas were considered. The modern approach had initially positive results, followed quickly by disastrous results, water shortages, pest infestations, and pesticide pollution in soil and water.[1] It was eventually discovered that the traditional system served a function in preventing such problems.[

Windsor and Eton

The King's College of Our Lady of Eton beside Windsor, commonly known as Eton College or just Eton, is a public school (privately funded and independent) for boys, founded in 1440 by King Henry VI.
It is located in Eton, near Windsor in England, north of Windsor Castle, and is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868.
Eton College was founded in 1440 by Henry VI as a charity school to provide free education to seventy poor boys who would then go on to King's College, Cambridge, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, which he also founded in 1441 This was a copy of William de Wykeham Winchester, Oxford link. Henry VI took half the scholars and the headmaster from William of Wykeham's Winchester College (founded 1382). Eton is modelled on Winchester College, and became popular in the 17th century.

When Henry VI founded the school he granted it a huge number of endowments, including much valuable land, a plan for formidable buildings (Henry intended the nave of the College Chapel to be the longest nave in Europe) and several religious relics, supposedly including a part of the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns. He even persuaded the then Pope, Eugene IV, to grant a privilege unparalleled anywhere in England: the right to grant Indulgences to penitents on the Feast of the Assumption.
However, when Henry was deposed by Edward IV in 1461, the new king annulled all grants to the school and removed most of its assets and treasures to St George's Chapel, Windsor, on the other side of the River Thames. Legend has it that Edward's mistress, Jane Shore, intervened on the school's behalf and was able to save much of the school, although the royal bequest and the number of staff were much reduced. Construction of the Chapel, originally intended to be slightly over twice as long, with eighteen - or possibly seventeen - bays (there are eight today) was stopped when Henry VI was deposed, with only the Quire of the intended building ever completed. Provost William Waynflete, previously Head Master of Winchester College, built the ante-chapel that finishes the Chapel today.
