Over 200 Killed in Bangladesh Factory Collapse After Workers Forced to Ignore Building's Dangers
The death toll in Bangladesh has topped 200 after an eight-story garment factory building collapsed with thousands of workers inside. More than 1,000 people were injured, and an unknown number of workers are still trapped in the wreckage. Cracks had been found in the building, but workers say the factory owners forced them to go to work anyway. Protests broke out in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka today as angry workers blocked key highways, marched on several factories, and rallied outside the headquarters of Bangladesh's main manufacturers group. The disaster comes exactly five months after a massive fire killed at least 112 garment workers at Bangladesh's Tazreen factory, which made clothing sold by Wal-Mart, among other companies. We're joined by two guests: Kalpona Akter, executive director of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity, and Charlie Kernaghan, director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights.
Survivor of Bangladesh's Tazreen Factory Fire Urges U.S. Retailers to Stop Blocking Worker Safety
This week's Bangladeshi factory disaster comes five months after a massive fire killed at least 112 garment workers at Bangladesh's Tazreen factory, which made clothing sold by Wal-Mart, among other companies. Earlier this month, Wal-Mart refused to compensate victims and their families, even though it was apparently the factory's largest buyer. We're joined by Sumi Abedin, a worker who survived the Tazreen fire by jumping from the factory's third story, breaking both her arm and foot in the process. She is currently touring the United States to call on retailers like Wal-Mart, The Gap and Disney to take the lead on improving working conditions in Bangladesh. We also speak with Kalpona Akter of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity and Charlie Kernaghan of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights.
Yemeni Activist Farea al-Muslimi Urges U.S. to Stop the Drone War on His Country
Yemeni activist and journalist Farea al-Muslimi delivered a moving plea before a Senate hearing this week for an end to U.S. drone strikes inside his country. Speaking at the first-ever public congressional hearing on Obama's secret drone and targeted killing program, al-Muslimi offered a rare first-hand account of the suffering that drone warfare wreaks on ordinary people's lives. His family's village of Wessab was hit by a U.S. drone strike last week, leaving five people dead. Educated in the United States as a teenager, al-Muslimi says the drone attacks are turning Yemenis against the country that embraced him.

Roc Nation's J. Cole has reacted to his long-awaited debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story, finally hitting shelves and toppling its competition on the Top 200 sales chart this week.
Hopping on Twitter, Cole thanked every fan and media outlet which has supported him over the past 24 months.
"So many people to stunt on, fighting the urge to be spiteful. This moment is too important for that. Just want to say THANK YOU," he tweeted October 4th.
"Thanks to yall, we shook the game up. No chart topping single, just 2 years of hard work, great music and real ass fans. #1 album"
"Thanks to every fan that held me down, every friend, every blog, magazine, tv, radio station, dj's and pd's, I feel like we ALL won" (J. Cole's Twitter)
Debuting atop the chart, Cole's long-awaited release sold over 200,000 copies its opening week.
The under dog has done it. J. Cole's debut album 'Cole World: The Sideline Story' has debuted at number one. HDD is reporting that J. Cole has managed to sell 217,324 copies of his debut disk in it's first week. Not only is J. Cole number one but he sold more copies in a week than Blink-182's comeback album. Impressive, Jermaine! (Rap Dose)
Last week estimates had the project selling up to 250,000 copies.
The German-born rapper J. Cole, who grew up in Fayetteville, NC, then went to school on a scholarship to St. John's in Queens before getting discovered by Jay-Z, who made him the first signing to his Roc Nation label through Columbia, debuts at #1 with Cole World: The Sideline Story. The album, which features collaborations with his mentor, as well as Trey Songz, Drake and Missy Elliott, has surpassed even label expectations with prospects of a sales total approaching 225-250k its first week. (HITS Daily Double)
Earlier in the week, Cole talked about what he hoped fans gained from the debut.
"I want them to see the growth. You'll see that you get flashes of the mixtapes–The Warm Up, Friday Night Lights. But then you also got spots where you're like, "Oh, my God. What the f*ck is this?" I didn't plan on being a mixtape artist my entire life. Of course, I want them to soak up the stories and the songs, but if there's one thing I want them to get from it, it's that, "Yo, this n*gga's not f*ckin' around. He's not settling for that status." (XXL Mag)

Concerns about meth mount among W.V. lawmakers
August 12, 2013
By Phil Sletten
CHARLESTON, West Virginia: State lawmakers are seeking to learn more about the substantial increases in meth lab busts in West Virginia and strategies for slowing the sales of the medicines used to produce meth in the state. Pseudoephedrine, a common cold medicine used by many West Virginians for legitimate symptom relief, may also be used in the creation of the addictive and dangerous substance called methamphetamine, or meth. Meth is perceived to be a growing problem in the state, and officials are debating the effectiveness of a new program designed to track pseudoephedrine and prevent illegal sales volumes.[1][2]
At least 332 meth labs have been busted by police in the first six months of 2013, while law enforcement only seized and cleaned 288 in all of 2012. Delegate Don Perdue (D), who is chair of the Health and Human Resources Committee, has asked West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) to investigate the problem and find ways to combat the creation of meth labs.[3]
Starting in January 2013, the National Precursor Log Exchange went online. This system tracks sales of pseudoephedrine and prevents sales exceeding certain thresholds to an individual person. Although the program is still new, some have touted its success while others have questioned its effectiveness. The West Virginia Retailers Association points out that 9,965 boxes of illegal sales were prevented in the first six months of the year, but law enforcement officials and Delegate Perdue do not see any clear positive impact from the system in the first six months. While 9,965 boxes of pseudoephedrine were blocked from sales, that accounts for only about 3 percent of the 236,033 boxes of pseudoephedrine sold in the state during the same period.[4][5]
Delegate John Ellem (R) has proposed a solution. For the third time, he will introduce legislation that bans the sale of pseudoephedrine in the state without a doctor's prescription. Last year, a similar bill forwarded by Ellem and Delegate Larry Border (R) died after a tie vote in the State Senate.[2]

Levels of residual disease (RD) are an independent predictor of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We modified the international standardized approach (ISA) to RD detection using flow cytometry by developing a single tube 10 color antibody assay.
A single tube incorporated the following monoclonal antibodies: CD81FITC, CD22PE, CD3ECD, CD5PercP5.5, CD20PECY7, CD79bAPC, CD38A700, CD43APC Alexa750, CD19eFluor 450, and CD45KO. A modified ISA gating strategy was developed that removed contaminating events. Sensitivity assays were performed using dilution with normal peripheral blood and bone marrow. Clinical samples were compared using the ISA and the single tube assay.
Dilution studies showed that sensitivity of 0.001% was achievable when a minimum of 1.8 × 106 total events were acquired. One hundred twenty-nine samples were analyzed and showed RD levels from 0.003 to 22%. In 80 samples analyzed with both assays, there was an excellent correlation between the two methods (slope = 1.0, intercept = 0.07 and R2 = 0.992) and results from Bland–Altman analysis showed a bias of 0.04 ± 0.38 with 95% confidence interval of −0.71 to 0.79. Removal of contaminating events in the single tube assay led to a significant reduction in RD values (P = 0.0014).
The single tube 10-color assay for the detection of RD in CLL provides equivalent results to the ISA but requires fewer cells, uses fewer reagents, and allows for simpler analysis. By directly removing contaminating events, it improves the accuracy of CLL RD detection and may reclassify the status of some patients following chemotherapy. © 2013 International Clinical Cytometry Society

Dark Shadows was a cult daytime TV show in the 1960s that fans Depp and Burton have resurrected. And they certainly seem to be having fun with the property, with Depp laying it on thick as an arcane vampire who finds himself awakened in the bewildering world of the 1970s. There, he re-encounters his arch-nemesis, a horny witch played with crazed glee by the delectable Green. Some good period jokes and some fantastic production design are somewhat mitigated by a complete disinterest in plot and an underused cast.

Yes, this may be the first genuine epic for the cinema, a big, bold and expensive account of the American Civil War and its aftermath. And yes, despite its rather primitive film-making, you can still see some then-trailblazing techniques that are now common place today. But the film is way too long, not inherently all that interesting and its now notorious depiction of negroes (white actors in blackface) and celebration of the Ku Klux Klan make it decidedly uncomfortable viewing.

So if you want to make a big budget vehicle for the Three Stooges then it is not the worst idea in the world to do a reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale, substituting the dwarfs for the three clowns. It kind of works, and thanks to veteran cameraman Leon Shamroy, it looks impressive. Casting Olympic ice-skater Carol Heiss as a Snow White who is very prone to cavorting around on skates surprisingly is not a terrible move either, though Stroll as her Prince Charming is no help whatsoever. The kids should enjoy it.

A tale that needed to be told about the first black regiment that was assembled during the American Civil War is told in some style but has a couple of holes that stop it from attaining true classic status. One is the blank space at the centre where the lead should be; Broderick is simply too lightweight an actor to pull this off. Then there is the odd feeling that some of the battle sequences are just Civil War re-enactment groups, they look a little low budget. That aside, the film looks spectacular, the black actors are, to a man, outstanding, the angelic James Horner score is truly inspiring and it achieves its desired powerful effect in its closing moments.

Bearing only a passing resemblance to the Hemingway novel, and turning an anti-war treatise into a lush romance complete with noble deathbed scene, A Farewell to Arms is nevertheless fascinating. It affords you the chance to witness the mastery of the medium from director Frank Borzage, revel in the Oscar-winning lush cinematography, and enjoy the star-laden pairing of the beauteous Cooper and Hayes, both here really finding their feet with the new sound medium. And the camera just eats them up, which helps get past some of the more dated elements.

Previous Dante films that have played in the scary movie field have been leavened with a dark humour (Gremlins, The Burbs). This one plays a bit more seriously, a horror movie for kids, so no gore and a few lightweight scares when two children discover a trapdoor in the basement of their new home which has some nasty surprises for them in store. It is kind of fun especially when it gets a bit Twilight Zone-ish towards the end, though it is hardly original.

Shamefully trying to turn the Easter Bunny into a pseudo-Santa, complete with his own sleigh (!), there is nothing about this kiddie comedy in which the Easter bunny runs off to become a drummer in L.A. and teams up with a slacker that you have not seen before or can anticipate. The animation of the rabbits is fairly perfunctory but youngsters might enjoy its slapstick and colourfulness. The rest of us will just find it lazy.

The classic fairy tale reimagined as a grungy Lord of the Rings Lite adventure has some good points. It looks amazing, the CGI work is remarkably seamless, the costumes by Colleen Atwood are truly something to behold and Theron is fantastic as the evil queen. But there are big failings too, such as the dwarfs and Prince William who are all largely superfluous. While Stewart is just wrong as Snow White, her indie sensibilities and apparent boredom with the role creating a black hole at the centre of it all.
Rhinoceros (American Film Theatre Collection)
Posted: 04/11/2014
You would think that the cinema is the ideal playground for the Theatre of the Absurd, what with camera trickery and special effects. Trouble is, no one thought to tell the director who does a largely straight adaptation of the Ionesco play about urban alienation in which people start turning into rhinoceroses. Not that you see any here. Still, with actors like Wilder, Mostel and Black delivering it all, it is not entirely without merit.

not exactly! For example,
not exactly!
For example, you have no right to point a gun at someone in public, even if you dont shoot. This is similar to running red lights, stop signs, drunk driving, and reckless driving. You have no right to be reckless in public, and stop signs, speed limits, red lights, and passing lanes are proper regulation for vehicular travel.
NOW, what is NOT proper vehicle safety regulation is licensing and registration for your private noncommercial car.
So, if you are going down the road at the right speed, not weaving or changing lanes recklessly, and obeying safety regulations that potentially affect others, then the cops have no right to stop you for no license plate, UNLESS you are a taxi, limo, freight, or other commercial vehicle.
MANY people get it soooo wrong. They get a license and registration, then ride around like fools and try to claim that the police are behaving unconstitutionally. THEY ARE WRONG.
It is only the civil and regulatory rules THAT DO NOT AFFECT OTHERS that are unconstitutional to stop you for, whereas 'driving without headlights' is a proper stop, speeding in excess of 20 mph over the speed limit is proper, running a red light is proper.
IM not saying these tickets cant be fought, but they probably wont be won based on unconstitutional arrest.

This is an absolutely beautiful stickpin. It is Edwardian, Circa 1900 and acid tests 14K. In the center is an exquisite hand enameled portrait of a lovely young woman which is framed in 14K gold and surrounded by rose cut diamonds. It measures 3 inches long and the top section is 1 inch by 5/8ths inch. This lovely Edwardian stickpin is in excellent condition with no damage to the enameled portrait. This is a rare find and a great collector piece as well as a fine investment.

I have a lager fermenting that has only dropped 12 gravity points in 17 days. It started out at 1042 and 17 days later is only at 1030. I have made many ales but this is my first lager. I pitched a very active starter of White Labs WLP840 American Lager Yeast. The air lock on the starter was bubblin away when I pitched it and i had signs of fermentation in the airlock the next day. So like I Said its sitting at 1030 after 17 days and FG should be around 1010. Its fermenting around 52 degrees. Well my concern is should it have just about fermented all the way out by now or is it where it should be at this point.
Something's not right. That should have fermented out by now. I've never had a lager under 1.050 take longer than 2 weeks to reach final gravity. It could be any of a number of things:
- Your temperature isn't really at 52°F and is really in the 30s°F
- Your yeast wasn't all it was cracked up to be... too small of starter, low yeast viability, yeast mix-up with an ale yeast, etc.
- Your hydrometer reading is wrong and it really is fermented down to final gravity
If you can rule all of those out, you'll just have to wait it out. Check it in a couple days and see where it is. Has it reached high krausen?
Check temp again and it's in the low 50's. Checked hydrometer against water and reads 1.000. As far as the krausen heres a pic below. It never got to high. Like I said I've made only ales before and the krausen on the lager is no where near as high as an ale would be.
I've had lager ferments take a month. If it isn't done by then, bring the temperature up to the low 60s.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

She would slip into sleep from time to time, but the same dream would awaken her. The screams of her dying colleagues as they were skewered or shattered with alien weaponry, Freds face of death, the monstrous giants who wore their sanguine blood splatters without reverence, all of it played in her mind and forced her back into reality, where she found her alien captors still lingering.She would keep her eyes shut as long as she could, hoping that if she banished their image from her mind that they would disappear, but this childish theory failed her and she found that hunger was the inescapable realism that would force her to abandon her wishful thinking.The alien had food; he had eaten his fill long ago, but still protected his prize from every attempt of Cassie getting any.

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
On Film4: 2 Dec 1:45AM
Japan's defeat in World War II prompted soul-searching on a national scale. Kurosawa explores the maze of shame, honour, tragedy and pride, and the curious stigma attached to those who denounced the country's involvement in the war. As Japan enters the conflict, student Hara is torn between Kono, a pragmatist and supporter of military involvement, and Fujita, a fearless anti-war activist. She plumps for Fujita, but only discovers the depths of his anti-war activity when he is executed for espionage.
In a remarkable act of penance she goes to live with his parents to suffer vilification as a collaborator herself.

To each his own as I say, but I must say I was a little taken aback when Cooper was talking about this during our morning show.
Cooper and I discussed the twin tornado devastation in the tiny town of Pilger Nebraska, where not one but 2 tornadoes wreaked havoc and almost wiped out the entire town yesterday.
I know I know kind of hard to believe, that cute face is part of a gang that is hyper- destructive. Thankfully our little Nugget "Tinky" is busting out that stereotype.

For any Parent or guardian with children you know how hard it is to get your kids attention when they are zoning out on their phones, computers or notebooks. At times as a parent you feel like you have no control over the situation....until now.

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne discussed his frequent battle with seizures this week and how accustomed he is to waking up in hospitals.
Aside from headaches, Wayne said he often does not realize when a potential seizure is going to hit him.
"No warning, no nothing I don't feel sick. I get headaches real bad. And the headaches? I didn't get no headaches or nothing," Lil Wayne told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway when he appeared on a special episode of "RapFix Live" on Wednesday (May 8). (MTV)
He also showed off a more personal side, admitting the seizures have him begging from them to stop.
Wayne says he has no recollection of the attacks and if it wasn't for his family, friends and doctors, he wouldn't even know the details of his frightful episodes. "I told them the other day, 'Y'all can tell me right now that y'all was lying', like 'You know what? We lyin' ain't nothin,' and I'd have to believe them because I don't know," he said. "I go to sleep and wake up in the hospital. I don't feel anything. I'm 100, I just hope it stops happening." (MTV)
After experiencing multiple seizures in March, Wayne suffered another one last week.
Lil Wayne was hospitalized again for a seizure … TMZ has learned. Sources close to Wayne tell us … the rapper was taken to Cedars-Sinai in L.A. late Tuesday night by his bodyguards. We're told he suffered a single seizure and was treated and released early this morning. As we first reported, 30-year-old Lil Wayne spent a week at Cedars back in March after suffering multiple severe seizures that nearly killed him. He spent 6 days in ICU. Wayne subsequently went on the radio and explained he's an epileptic, and has been suffering from seizures since he was a kid. (TMZ)
He addressed his battle with medical complications a few weeks ago.
"The thing is, man, the bad news is, I'm an epileptic, so I'm prone to seizures," he said. "This isn't my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I've had a bunch of seizures; y'all just never hear about it. This time it got real bad because I had three of 'em in a row, and on the third one, my heart rate went down to, like, 30 percent. Basically, I could've died soon. That's why it was so serious. The reason being for the seizures is just plain stress, no rest and overworking myself. That's typical me, though." (Power 106)

Learn how to create a new coffee table using an old door.
By Joanne Palmisano, Salvage SecretsMore in Decorating
Spread dark wax on the door to give it a finished look. Make sure to do the edges, especially the edge that was cut. Buff out the wax and do a second coat.
Lay the door face down on a drop cloth. Place the coffee table frame on the back of the door, making sure it is centered and even. Attach the base to the door using L-brackets on all four corners. If necessary, paint L-brackets to match the color of the base.
Take exact measurements of top of door and order a piece of tempered glass for the top.

The registrar has just gone live with a list of 138 domains, including stuff like home.info, autos.info, boat.info, fashion.info and computer.info.
The domains were all claimed in Afilias' .info sunrise period back in 2001 but were subsequently found to be ineligible under the sunrise rules and reclaimed by the registry.
Bidding starts on January 15, with starting bids at about $100.
A first batch of domains from the same pool were auctioned in December, with some fetching five-figure sums — cancer.info led, selling for $16,005, with loans.info going for $12,205.
ARI expands its DNS business
ARI Registry Services officially announced its aggressive targeting of the DNS services market at an event in Toronto last week.
The company says it is the named DNS provider in over 450 new gTLD applications, giving it a substantial foot in the door should they be approved by ICANN.
That's almost three times as many applications as ARI is involved with as registry provider.
"To our competitors, we are coming for you," a tired and emotional ARI CEO Adrian Kinderis said during the launch event at a club in Toronto last Tuesday, which DI attended.
"Bring it on," equally tired and emotional executives from larger competitors were heard to mutter in the audience.
ARI seems to be targeting just TLD operators to begin with, while competitors such as Verisign, Neustar and Afilias also offer managed DNS to enterprises.
ARI already runs the DNS for Australia's .au.
Soon Verisign could sell .com domains direct
With little fanfare, ICANN last week formally approved new rules that could allow incumbent registry operators to own registrars that sell domains in their own gTLDs.
The policy would give the likes of Verisign, Neustar and Afilias the right to become affiliated with registrars that sell .com, .biz and .info names respectively.
These registries would have to sign up to the standard new gTLD registry agreement first, or submit to contract renegotiation in order to drop their current cross-ownership bans.
In either case, they would become bound by the new registry Code of Conduct, preventing them from offering preferential terms to their affiliated registrars.
The new rule came into effect following the ICANN board meeting on Thursday, at which this resolution was passed.
ICANN had already dropped cross-ownership restrictions for new gTLD registry operators, but held back from bringing in the same rules for incumbents due to concerns from competition authorities.
After exchanges of letters with the European Commission and US Department of Commerce, these concerns appear to have dried up, however. ICANN said in its resolution:
it appears that there is no longer any reason against extending the approved process to existing registry operators for their own TLDs.
This action will be an advantage for the ICANN community, as it will provide the opportunity for treating all registry operators equally with respect to cross-ownership restrictions.
Registries would have their requests for contract changes referred to competition authorities for comment before ICANN would approve them.
Based on previous comments, Verisign might have a struggle with respect to .com but the other incumbents might have an easier time renegotiating their deals.
Neustar has been particularly outspoken in its desire to get rid of the contractual language preventing it owning a .biz registrar, so we might see that company first to get into talks.
Both .biz and .info contracts are up for renewal before the end of the year.
Original .web gTLD applicant sues ICANN
Image Online Design, which unsuccessfully applied for the .web gTLD all the way back in 2000, has sued ICANN, alleging trademark infringement and breach of contract.
IOD, which says it has over 20,000 .web domains under management in an alternate root, says ICANN never officially rejected its .web bid, and that it should not have allowed other companies to apply for it.
It's looking for an injunction preventing ICANN awarding .web to any other company, as well as seeking ICANN's "profits" resulting from the alleged infringement of its mark.
There are seven .web applicants in the current round, but IOD is not among them.
The company paid $50,000 for its application in 2000, but it's not happy with the $86,000 discount ICANN offered 2000-round applicants on their $185,000 fees if they wanted to resubmit their applications.
The IOD complaint claims:
Allowing other entities to file applications for a .web TLD while IOD's .WEB TLD application was still pending is improper, unlawful and inequitable.
The complaint cites the November 2000 ICANN meeting in Marina Del Rey, during which the first proof-of-concept gTLDs were approved by ICANN's board of directors.
It notes that then-chair Vint Cerf steered the board away from approving .web applications filed by Afilias and others because IOD was already operating .web in an alternate root at the time.
You can watch a video of that meeting here.
The complaint also alleges tenuous conflicts of interest between two .web applicants (Afilias and Google) and members of ICANN's board of directors (current chair and vice-chair Steve Crocker and Bruce Tonkin in the case of Afilias, and long-gone chair Vint Cerf in the case of Google).
The suit comes just a few days after IOD's fellow 2000 applicant and alternate root player, Name.Space, sued ICANN on similar grounds, trying to prevent 189 gTLDs being approved.
ResellerClub sells 11,000 .pro domains in a month
Directi says it sold 11,000 .pro domains via its ResellerClub channel in the first month after it started supporting the TLD.
That's pretty impressive going, given that the whole of .pro was only about 155,000 domains at the last count, enough to put the registrar into fifth place for .pro domains under management.
ResellerClub's wholesale price until October 31 is $2.99, with two free email accounts, according to the company.
The surge will prove useful to .pro registry Afilias, which expects to see over 40,000 domains — all of them US Zip codes registered to .pro's former owner Hostway — drop this month.

If you've been following the stories on our OBV website, you'll remember the story of one of our little girl published in: A Fate Like Weed.
After many visits and dialogue exchanged with C's family, I persuaded her family to let C comes and stays at OBV home. C's family is not in a situation to provide proper care for her. C's dad is mentally ill. C's mom and her grandparents are busy making end meets. C was often found wondering the streets and highways barefeet from Can Tho to Soc Trang. The chance of C facing abused and kidnapped for sex trafficking was pretty high. Thus, I felt a great sense of relief after I brought C to live in OBV home.
October 1 St.Therese as a Feast Day of aunt T and 3 kids in the house.
Unlike previous times, this time mother N wanted to make a surprise so she scratched at herself -from buying flowers, gifts even cooking.
Ms.T: let me give aunt T a present.
Ms.H: Mom, have you brought any things yet? I have got the perfect gift to give to ...
Extracurricular activities for the children of OBV have been finished, but the images of them running, jumping, laughing, somehow are still in my heart. What impressed me most was the moments when in the end of the day, the children were sitting in a circle to think about themselves.
In the circle, the silence, the melody, the heartfelt spoken words... all of that made the children and me think. To help us forget all about the world outside uncle Sy told us to close our eyes, relax and reminded us to think about our families, about our beloved ones, about the time that we made the others sad and disappointed. And just like that, the melody, the silence, the sentiments, the questions were repeated over and over again in our heads, and stuck in our mind.
The OBV children planting trees
The OBV-VN family members regularly carry out weekend work projects. At times we work in the garden, at others we do house-cleaning. Generally we work for two hours. Afterwards, we can rest, entertain ourselves or read books. During the weekend, in the evening, we watch the movies or take part in karaoke sessions.
Teacher Jessie after the farewell party at OBV-Vietnam, has made a cash contribution to help the OBV-Cambodia children to buy the needed textbooks, school supplies or story books. He gave the money to Sister Ngọc who then forwarded it to OBV-Cambodia several days ago.
Hi everybody, today I have a story about a girl that was enticed by a boy.
Late one afternoon, TA (the girl's name) was used to going to Church. One day, she went to the church as usual, but unlike the other day, she still didn't come back home yet even darkish night. Her mother worried about her missing daughter so she went near the church where all the lights were turned off already to look for the girl. The mother kept running to girl's friends house to find her but the girl still wasn't there. TA's friends said that she had gone around the church so the mother immediately came back. She found the girl in the back yard and heard the kids' talk in low tone. Turing on the flash light and she saw her daughter was standing with the boy (neighbor) in the bushes.
New school year 2014
During the summer, although the children only got 1 month off and then resumed again in summer school and the new school year. But every year, on Semtemper 5th, all school across the country are opening and their school is no exception.
A ceremony to welcome the new school year
Unlike the other days, today, mother N woke up early because the house assistants were busy in Cambodia. Mother made breakfast and reminded the kids to dress up in order to attend start of the school year.
In 6 months (from Jan-Jun 2016), the OBV Cambodia family had 5 old children and 3 new children. Actually, we adopted 8 new children but 5 children weren't in the OBV Cambodia family anymore. The first one came back and joined in the OBV in Vietnam (Huong's case). The others were 14-15 years-old. Because of the loss of basic in grade 2 so they weren't interest in schooling. They just liked apprentice.
Unfortunately, the OBV doesn't have any training center for apprentices, so they just lived in the OBV for a short time and came back to their home.
Mother Ngoc counting the little soldiers before departure!
"I gave D a pencil, I gave Linh some bread..."
"I received toys from Mother, love from Mother and Aunt, clothes from the older sisters..."
"I gave the younger sisters food and clothes, shared sad and happy times with them; gave Mother, Aunt and Uncle my loud and earnest laughter..."
"I received material as well as spiritual gifts from the OBV family..."
During a round of "Give and Receive", some girls are simple and innocent, some are mature and sincere.
The children of OBV House are equipped with weapons
1. Mommy, help us
Sitting in the office, looking at the clock sometimes, I was waiting for the children for dinner. I suddenly heard someone scream: "Mommy, open the gate, help me." I didn't have time to wear flip flop, rushed out the gate, 3 children took the bicycles into the house, panted and pointed to the street "Mommy, two sisters are still out there." I asked, "What happened?" – "A pervert guy keeps following us". I rushed into the house and told Aunt T to take motobike to find other children. But when we just got out of the house, we saw "him" standing there. At that time, our 2 children panic-stricken rushed home with pale faces. Danger was over to them. I was also scared, but took all the courage to "face".
- Hey you, why did you follow my children and make them scared?

- A vocational dimension – all programmes at BU are very practical, innovative, focused on developing marketable skills and taught by academics with industry links and experience. As such, our students gain a strong professional orientation and are aware of the reality of the industry before even undertaking employment.
- A vibrant community – the BU community is composed of over 17 000 students of which 1,500 are international students from around 130 countries. We have a very active Student's Union and over 100 student clubs and societies to cater for all interest and cultural groups. The relative closeness of all buildings on both campuses allows for a tight-knit community feel and the high number of events organised really enables social integration of students from all backgrounds.
- Quality student support services – BU is nationally recognised as the number 1 university for the quality of student learning opportunities and the available support in terms of teaching, academic and technological resources, facilities and pastoral care. BUMusic, BUSports and our multi-faith Chaplaincy are only a few examples of the wide array of support services our university counts with.

Bournemouth is situated on the south coast of England and is less than 2 hours from London. With a population of just over 163,000, it is large enough to have all the facilities of a big town but small enough that you never feel lost.

Each year we employ students as Facilitators for the Conversation Clubs, so if you are interested in helping others learn your own language please email the Language Centre for further details - you may be able to "earn while you learn".
As an international student your School will provide support, but you may also be looking for additional help to improve your academic and professional English. The English LAB is another Community on MyBU which is designed to help you if English is not your first language. You have the opportunity to work on your English language accuracy and skills through a series of workshops which look at various aspects of the language, for example; grammar, punctuation and pronunciation.

Abstract. Considerable losses and degradation of heathlands (in moorlands and lowlands) have been reported across Europe, with Calluna vulgaris (heather) being replaced by other species, often grasses. Increasing atmospheric nitrogen deposition and overgrazing have been suggested as the driving factors behind this change. This possibility was investigated in a study of the interacting effects of nutrient inputs and grazing on heather and three grass species (Nardus stricta, Deschampsia cespitosa and D. flexuosa) in the field, on a moorland in northeastern Scotland. In addition, the interacting effects of increasing nutrients and Calluna canopy height on N. stricta and D. cespitosa were studied using turves in an outdoor experimental area. In the field, fencing had a larger effect than fertilizer on the growth of all species, except for N. stricta, the species most unpalatable to herbivores. Fencing led to an increase in the height of the Calluna canopy, which may reduce light availability for the grasses. In the turf experiment, the height of the Calluna canopy affected the diameter of the grass tussocks and percentage of green matter (i.e. live leaf material), with plants under the more closed Calluna canopies being smaller.
This study suggests that the slow-growing, evergreen Calluna is a more effective competitor than the faster growing grasses when it has a tall, intact canopy, even at increased levels of nutrient supply. However, overgrazing promotes gap formation in the Calluna canopy, providing an opportunity for grasses to take advantage of increased nutrients. Thus the conservation of heather moorlands requires an understanding of the grazing level which allows Calluna to maintain sufficient canopy structure to outcompete grasses for light.
