TAIPEI， April 26 (Xinhua) -- The organizer of a water park party that turned deadly last year in Taiwan was sentenced to four years and ten months in prison on Tuesday.


In a first instance verdict， the Shilin District Court convicted Lu Chung-chi， head of a local firm that organized the Color Play Asia party at a water park in New Taipei City on June 27， of negligence that led to deaths and injuries.


Fifteen died and more than 400 people were injured after colored powder used for special effects at the party ignited and exploded.


Lu was in charge of the event's organization and knew the risk of blasting the colored cornstarch powder， but he failed to tell workers to stop ejecting the powder when he left the event stage at around 7 p.m.


According to the verdict， an inexperienced worker accidentally launched the powder onto the high-temperature surface of nearby light bulbs， triggering a fierce blaze and blasts as the powder ignited. The blaze engulfed partygoers.


The loss caused by Lu's negligence was "very severe and huge" and the defendant has not compensated the victims， it added.


Some victims and relatives of victims， who gathered outside the courthouse on Tuesday morning， said they cannot accept such a light sentence for Lu.


Prosecutors have not filed charges against eight park executives due to lack of evidence showing they should be held responsible for the tragedy.


But upon the request of the victims， the Taiwan high prosecutor's office has ordered the Shilin District prosecutor's office to relaunch an investigation into them.

One of the new buzz words in real estate is "rightsizing". Rightsizing is about finding the right size home for where you are in your life - people are searching for the perfect space for their needs. This concept not only applies to your search for personal space, it's also a concept that is being applied to building and city planning. With an aging population Ryan Dzingel Senators Jersey , increasing density and a greater emphasis on lifestyle, the switch in thinking from "more space" to "the right space" makes a lot of sense.


Rightsizing is often brought on by a life transition and the accompanying awareness that you have grown out of your current situation - your home just doesn't "fit" you any longer. There are many things that may trigger this awareness: your last child has left the house, you've been laid off or you've recently undergone a divorce or the death of a partner. Maybe you're retiring Zack Smith Senators Jersey , want to get control over your rising debt, or an injury or illness makes it just too difficult to tackle the stairs everyday. Whatever the motivation, you've realized that it's time to find a home that is better suited to your needs.


Rightsizing asks you to consider thee things: 1) what is important to you? 2) what are your needs? and 3) what makes you happy? When you know the answer to these questions (or have a fuzzy idea) Tom Pyatt Senators Jersey , you can then begin to design your life (and home) accordingly.


Often the rightsizing concept focuses on pairing down your possessions in an effort to get rid of the endless mementos that you've been dragging around for decades. It is possible to live a meaningful life without all those things, and by culling your belongings you may be able to live in a smaller, less demanding (or expensive) space. Trading size for lifestyle is also appealing - lose the big house in suburbs for a loft in the city Bobby Ryan Senators Jersey , swapping the commute for convenience and possibly doing away with the expense of a car altogether.


Perhaps a smaller home will allow you to enjoy more of the design features you desire. Your kitchen may be half the size, but you can afford the cabinets you've dreamed of and a heated slate floor. Maybe you've always longed for a greener life and are willing to trade your urban existence for a little cabin in the woods.


A big focus of rightsizing is to free you from the responsibilities of home owning so that you have more time to do the things you want to - for instance, if you have a big backyard that requires your constant attention Chris Wideman Senators Jersey , but you would rather spend that time kayaking, traveling or going to the movies then why keep the space? Trading your time-sucking plot for a more manageable patio garden will give you the time back and allow you the freedom to do what makes you happy.


Although much of rightsizing concentrates on moving to a smaller space, this isn't the only focus. Rightsizing is not so much about choosing a smaller home; it's about enhancing your environment by understanding what you really want. You might need more space - perhaps an elderly parent is moving in or you dream of starting a home-based business. It might be that you're considering a move to a home with more square footage Mike Condon Senators Jersey , which includes a rental suite so you can gener.
