Rave on: Londoners re-live dancing days with kids in tow

One-yearo-old Camille enjoys the music and entertainment at the Big Fish Little Fish "2-4 Hour Party People" event in Brixton, South London, on April 12, 2014The bass is pumping, the lights are low and the dance floor of the club is heaving. Such are the highs and lows of family raving, a new craze fuelled by London's ex-clubbers who still want to go dancing but now have kids in tow. What more could you want?" said Paul Crawley, 34, swaying slowly on the dance floor carrying his baby daughter Camille in a sling. This dingy bar in south London is normally the venue for all-night raves, but for two and a half hours on a Saturday afternoon, it is transformed into a playgroup with a difference.

In South Korean school, somber silence and occasional sobs
By James Pearson and Sohee Kim ANSAN, South Korea (Reuters) - "Change your thoughts and you change your world," reads a quotation hanging in the corridors of Danwon High School, where almost 250 students and teachers are still missing from a South Korean ferry that capsized on Wednesday. The short phrase from minister and author Norman Vincent Peale had been the school's quote of the week for early April, when 339 students and their teachers embarked on a regular school trip to the popular holiday island of Jeju. Fourteen students and teachers from the school have been found dead and 247 are still missing in what looks like being South Korea's worst maritime accident in 21 years in terms of lives lost.
