John Smedley will always be in vogue

#Moore #recall #school

Letters | Tim Heavisides recalls his fondness for the historic fashion firm and his enduring attachment to a black jumperRe your report (Fashion and tradition: how John Smedley is innovating in a tough market, 1 November), I was fortunate to grow up with a mum who was interested in good quality clothes and fashion, and who, when I was 17, bought me a black rollneck top.

Think Roger Moore. Think Illya Kuryakin (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). Think of me in the lower sixth at a rural grammar school in Wiltshire, who missed going to the Bath blues festival at Shepton Mallet in 1970. I also missed the Isle of Wight ferry once.I recall going on a school trip to see the film Kanał by the Polish director Andrzej Wajda.

There were girls on the coach from the girls’ high school. Shock horror. What should I wear? My black polo top, of course. It would be perfect with my tweed sports jacket. And then Mum uttered those immortal words: “It’s made by John Smedley. You can wear it with anything.”

PARIS — France’s Interior Ministry said more than 600,000 people rallied Thursday across France, including in Paris, to demand higher wages and school funding in nationwide strikes and demonstrations. After more than a month of large, recurring protests across France, major rallies took place again in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and elsewhere, most of which were peaceful.

The Paris march began peacefully on Thursday afternoon at Place de la République.

Experience: I helped jail the teacher who groomed me

#Australia #Queensland #school

At 15, having the cool 31-year-old PE teacher single me out felt thrilling. It took years to see his praise for what it really wasI was 15 when Paul joined my high school in Queensland, Australia, as a PE teacher. He was fun and handsome, and seemed much younger than his 31 years.

I was obsessed with dance, and when Paul complimented me on my gymnastics, I was thrilled the “cool” teacher had noticed me.He’d always stop for a chat. I was the only child of a single mum and though she was there for me, I didn’t confide in her.

But he was easy to talk to and I quickly developed a crush. Continue reading...

Veterans ministry to invite foreign Korean War veterans, families on UN memorial day

#defense #Force #Military #school #South Korea #UN #veteran #war #war veterans

The veterans ministry said Friday it will invite foreign veterans who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War to the country, along with their family members, to commemorate their service on an annual memorial day. A total of 36 people from six countries and their family members will arrive Sunday for a six-day visit, according to the ministry.

The International U.N. Veterans Memorial Day is held annually Nov. 11. The visit is part of the Turn Toward Busan program, which aims to commemorate the service of foreign Korean War veterans. Among the invited veterans is William Walsh, 97, who served as a British Army soldier and trained foreign troops to be deployed to the war at a military battle school, from 1953 to 1955. This year, Canadian veteran Vincent Courtenay, who first proposed the visit program in 2007, along with Kelly McKeague, director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, will also travel to South Korea next week to pay their respects to the U.N. forces, according to the veterans ministry.

The program includes a visit to the U.N. Memorial Cemetery in Busan, some 330 kilometers southe

[FRIENDS OF KOREA] An American teenager in Seoul in 1967

#airport #Allen #China #Cleveland #front #Japan #Ohio #peace #school #Seoul

I was 13 when our family of 10 (mom, dad and eight kids ranging in age from 1 to 15) arrived at Kimpo Airport in August 1966. We arrived a bit prior to the first volunteers of the Peace Corps K-1, because our school started in early September.

The older kids attended Seoul Foreign School (SFS) in Yeonhui-dong, behind Yonsei University. In fact, the founders of our school were some of the same missionaries who founded Yonsei, such as the Underwoods, the Allens and the Avisons. Today, there is a statue to Horace Grant Underwood in front of one of the Yonsei buildings.

Being born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and at our young ages, none of us kids were very familiar with the outside world, so when Dad (Kevin O'Donnell, the first Peace Corps country director for Korea) told us he got a new job and we were going to move to Korea, we thought he said Berea, a Cleveland suburb near the airport, and wondered why in the world would anyone want to move there.

He said, "Not Berea — Korea. It's a foreign country over by China and Japan." This got most of us quite excited, but my older sister wa

Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi signed a Joint Declaration on Cooperation with his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico on Thursday, Nov. 5 in Lviv, along with an agreement on bilingual schools, as Bratislava pledged three electric locomotives and €1 million ($1.14 million) in aid for generators, shelters and hospital equipment.

The visit appears to signal a softening of Fico’s stance toward Kyiv after weeks of friction. Koretskyi separately warned that western Ukraine cannot assume it will be spared Russian strikes this winter and that the area may again be asked to send energy crews to Kyiv and frontline regions.
