How to Grow Correnta Spinach
Normally, spinach is a cool-season crop and as the summer days get warmer, spinach plants grow tall, spindly stalks with blooms at the top. This process, referred to as "bolting," causes the spinach to stop growing, set seed and develop a bitter flavor. According to crop researchers at Oregon State University, Correnta spinach is a bolt-resistant plant that is more heat-tolerant that most varieties. Correnta spinach is tender and sweet with smooth, dark green leaves. Plant the first crop of Correnta spinach seeds directly in the garden 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected frost in your area.
Prepare a planting spot in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Spade the soil to a depth of at least 8 inches.
Spread 2 to 4 inches of organic material such as compost, chopped leaves or decomposed manure on top of the soil. Dig the material evenly into the soil. Alternatively, dig in a general-purpose dry fertilizer with a balanced ratio such as 10-10-10 or 14-14-14. Use approximately 3 tablespoons of fertilizer for every 10 square feet of garden space.
Rake out dirt clods and clumps of weeds. Use the rake to smooth the surface of the soil.
Create shallow furrows, or rows, using the corner of a hoe. Make the rows about 12 inches apart.
Sprinkle Correnta spinach seeds in the row. Cover the seeds with one-half to 1 inch of soil.
Water the spinach immediately after planting. Use a watering can or a garden hose with a fine spray nozzle, to avoid washing away the tiny seeds. Thereafter, provide 1 to 2 inches of water every week to keep the soil uniformly moist.
Thin Correnta spinach when the seedlings have three or four leaves. Allow 3 to 4 inches between each plant. Use the thinnings in fresh salads.
Fertilize Correnta spinach after thinning. Use a fertilizer with a high level of nitrogen, or a ratio such as 21-0-0. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil next to the plants, using approximately one-half cup of fertilizer for every 20 feet of garden row. Water immediately after fertilizing.
Spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch, such as dry grass or bark chips, around the spinach plants to conserve moisture and control weeds.
Pull weeds by hand or cultivate the surface of the soil. Weeds compete with the spinach for available moisture and nutrients.
Harvest Correnta spinach leaves any time before the plants begins to form a stalk. Remove the older leaves first, leaving the younger leaves to mature on the plant. Correnta spinach is ready for harvest approximately 45 days after planting.
Plant a second crop of Correnta spinach in late spring or early summer. Unlike traditional spinach varieties that bolt when temperatures reach 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Correnta spinach tolerate long, hot summer days.

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, would like to express its grave concerns about the recently adopted Healthcare for Population Control Law. The Law, if implemented, could directly undermine basic human rights and women's reproductive rights and freedoms, as confirmed in the Programme of Action, adopted at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, to which Myanmar agreed, and other international human rights norms.
The Law would risk imposing birth-spacing requirements on individuals and couples. UNFPA emphasizes that the practice of family planning must be voluntary in all circumstances. The application of this Law could also fuel discrimination and worsen communal tensions.
Myanmar recently announced the results of its first census in 30 years. UNFPA stated at its launch: "Every woman and couple has the right to freely determine the number, timing and spacing of their children, free of discrimination, violence and coercion. Coercive laws regulating the number or spacing of children violate human rights, and contradict the Government's national commitments and international obligations."
UNFPA also supports the declaration by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health that any coercive requirement for birth-spacing would violate women's human rights. This is why UNFPA calls on the Government of Myanmar to reconsider the Law and bring it in line with universally agreed human rights standards and norms.

Oh Fall... most people love it. Others, like me, feel an impending Winter doom with every passing day. I ADORE summer. I love the long days, feeling the hot sun on my face, I don't even mind "swass" (if you know, you know).
The one silver lining to Fall (other than the rise of daily afternoon teas, Oscar movie season and what I'd like to call the start of ~Pasta Season~) is cozy fashion. This Fall, I'm introducing past favorites in yummy new colours, and welcoming several cozy and cute styles to the line up.
Read on for details and inspiration on the Fall 2019 collection.
I'm constantly inspired by two things: me... and you. I fit all garments on my own not-so-modelesque body because, ultimately, I cannot design something that I don't also love. How could I pay close attention to details that I myself am not invested in? Growing up with limited options for my very pear shaped body, a big part of starting Free Label was to provide options for me and people like me. It may sound self centered, but I would by lying if I didn't say that I make clothing for myself.
My collections are also inspired by YOU. Your feedback propels the styles, colours and fits forward. When I get emails asking for a boxier silhouette, I am reminded that there is a need for that, and it inspires me to wonder what kind of boxy piece I am also yearning for. I am also inspired by the photos you share in email and on Instagram! What better way to be inspired than by the community that supports you. It feels like a true collaboration, and that's pretty cool.
Designing the Fall 2019 collection was no different. I found a gap in my own wardrobe, and in your wardrobes too, for office appropriate, but insanely comfortable pieces. Fabrics that stand the test of time and fits that are versatile for multiple stages of life (pregnancy, weight gain and loss, etc). Plus, styles that make you feel like a million bucks (or maybe 8 million bucks after inflation) every time you slip them on. Gone are the days you have to change out of your work clothes into your home comfies - they are now one in the same!!
New Colours
I started Free Label with only Black and White. Eventually I added in Grey (risk taker, I know!). Over the years I've slowly added little pockets of deliciously rich colour, and Fall 2019 is no exception. Welcome to the crew: Olive, Berry and Golden. These three colours pair so well together for an inspired 70's colour palette, or with neutrals for a hint of colour during the darker months. It took several lab dips to get each colour juuust right. I wanted something rich but not too jewel toned. Something unique and special, but not difficult to integrate into your existing wardrobe. We all make colour mistakes when it comes to shopping; we may love a colour but find it doesn't go with anything, only to be banished to the back of the closet. I wanted to make sure that would not be the case with this palette. I hope you love it!
New Styles
There are several Free Label styles that I bring back each season because they are classic in style and oh so comfy: the Andie Bra, Sunday Pant, Jaimee Tee, etc. But each season I invest in a few new silhouettes that I think you will adore. For Fall 2019 I focused on versatile new shapes that work through many different phases of your life. Whether it be pregnancy, breast feeding, thanksgiving food babies, or a weight loss journey - these pieces will ebb and flow with your dynamic life. Wrap details, reversible pieces, elastic waistbands, and flowy silhouettes. These are the ingredients for a versatile and long-lasting wardrobe.
Some of the most popular new styles so far include the Frannie Wrap. This top can be worn a multitude of ways and for different occasions. The Loretta Pant is another favorite - whose pockets, comfy elastic waistband and gorgeous drapped wide leg make it the perfect pant for the office, lazying around the house, even holiday parties! And lastly, my personal favorite is the Bryant Jumpsuit. This jumpsuit's slim leg and unique wrap detail are made even better by the buttery soft and easy-to-fit stretchy fabric. Our bamboo fabric is custom knit and dyed in Toronto before being cut and sewed in Vancouver, so we are able to keep a close eye on production from start to finish!
I am incredibly proud of this collection; it was over 8 months in the making! I hope you adore each piece as much as I do, because this season was certainly a labor of love.

On November 22, 2017, the Ontario government passed the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017 (Bill 148), rolling out major changes to the province's employment and labour laws, including the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and the Labour Relations Act, 1995. These changes will have significant implications for employers in Ontario.
Bill 148 was initially introduced in June 2017 following the recommendations proposed in The Changing Workplaces Review – Final Report. It has since been revised by the legislature and the key amendments of each act, in their final form, are summarized below. The commencement dates are subject to change depending on the date on which Bill 148 receives royal assent.
Commencing December 3, 2017:
- Parental leave: Entitlement to parental leave will increase from 35 weeks to 61 weeks for employees who take pregnancy leave, and from 37 weeks to 63 weeks otherwise. Employees will not be eligible for this increased leave entitlement with respect to children who are born or come into their care before the day that the amendment comes into force.
- Critical illness leave: Employees with six consecutive months' of service will be entitled to a critical illness leave of absence of up to 17 weeks to provide care and support to a critically ill adult family member. This leave is in addition to the existing critically ill child care leave of up to 37 weeks.
Commencing January 1, 2018:
- Minimum wage: The general minimum wage will increase to C$14/hour (followed by a further increase to C$15/hour effective January 1, 2019).
- Vacation: The minimum vacation entitlement for employees with five or more years of employment will increase to three weeks per year.
- Holiday pay: The public holiday pay calculation has been simplified and will be based on the number of days actually worked in the pay period immediately preceding the public holiday. Employees who work on the public holiday and receive a substitute day off must also be provided with written notice of the date of the substitute holiday.
- Personal emergency leave: Employees in all workplaces (previously limited to workplaces with 50 or more employees) will be entitled to a personal emergency leave of up to 10 days per calendar year, which is comprised of two paid days and eight unpaid days of leave. Employees must be employed for one week or longer in order to be entitled to receive pay for two of the 10 days. While an employer may require an employee who takes this leave to provide evidence reasonable in the circumstances that the employee is entitled to the leave, the employer cannot require the employee to provide a certificate from a qualified health practitioner.
- Child death leave and crime-related child disappearance leave: An employee with six consecutive months of service whose child dies from any cause will be entitled to a child death leave for a period of up to 104 weeks. This leave is distinct from the crime-related child disappearance leave, which will also increase to 104 weeks.
- Family medical leave: Entitlement to family medical leave will increase from eight weeks in a 26-week period to 28 weeks in a 52-week period.
- Domestic/sexual violence leave: An employee who has been employed for at least 13 weeks will be entitled to a domestic/sexual violence leave of up to 10 days and up to 15 weeks, if the employee or a child of the employee experiences domestic or sexual violence (or the threat of such violence). The first five days of this leave must be paid.
- Misclassification: In alignment with the common law, it will be an offence for an employer to treat an employee as if that person were not an employee (i.e., misclassifying employees as independent contractors). In the case of a dispute, the burden of proof that the person is not an employee lies with the employer.
- Penalties for employers: The director of employment standards may make public (including via the Internet) the name of the employer and its contravention, if that employer is found in violation of employment standards legislation.
Commencing April 1, 2018:
- Equal pay for equal work: Employers will be prohibited from paying an employee at a rate of pay less than the rate paid to another employee because of a difference in employment status. This protection extends to temporary, seasonal, casual, part-time and temporary help agency employees. However, there are exceptions for differences in rate of pay based on factors other than employment status, such as seniority, merit and quantity or quality of production.
Commencing January 1, 2019:
- Minimum wage: The general minimum wage will increase to C$15/hour.
Scheduling: Eligible employees will have new rights related to scheduling, including the following:
- An employee will have the right to refuse an employer's request or demand to work on a day that the employee was not scheduled to work if the request or demand is made less than 96 hours before the time the employee would commence work.
- If an employer cancels an employee's scheduled day of work or on-call period with less than 48 hours' notice, the employer will be required to pay the employee wages equal to the employee's regular rate for three hours of work.
- An employee who is "on call" and not called to work (or who is called into work and works for less than three hours) must be paid his or her wages for three hours of work.
- An employee will be permitted to request a change to his or her schedule or work location after three months of employment. If the employer denies the employee's request, the employer must provide written reasons for the denial.
Commencing January 1, 2018:
Certification: The following rules regarding certification of unions will take effect:
- Card-based certification will be permitted in the building services, home care and community services, and temporary help agency industries.
- Unions with the support of at least 20 per cent of an organization's employees will be entitled to access a complete list of the employees in the proposed bargaining unit, along with those employees' phone numbers and personal emails.
- The Ontario Labour Relations Board will be allowed to conduct votes outside the workplace, as well as electronically and by telephone.
- Consolidation of bargaining units: The Ontario Labour Relations Board will have the power to, among other things, consolidate a certified bargaining unit with an existing bargaining unit of employees of the employer represented by the same union.
- Successor rights: Successor rights will extend to the building services industry (i.e., building cleaning services, food services and security services).
- Prosecutions and penalties: Maximum fines for contravention will increase to C$5,000 for individuals and C$100,000 for organizations.
- Return to work: The requirement to reinstate an employee within six months of commencing a lawful strike has been expanded. Employers will now be required to reinstate employees upon request at any time following the commencement of a lawful strike.
In preparation for these changes, employers should begin the process of reviewing and revising all handbooks, policies and practices (including scheduling and payroll practices) that are affected by the new legislation. Additionally, employers should consider whether any of their offer letter or employment agreement templates will need to be updated to reflect the new minimum standards. Employers will also want to consider any training that may be necessary to ensure that managers, supervisors and other employee relations personnel are aware of, and in compliance with, the amendments once they come into force.
More broadly, it is important for employers to consider these amendments in the context of the legislation as a whole. For example, employees who are exempt from the hours of work requirements under the Employment Standards Act will also be exempt from the new scheduling rules.

Also be aware that if you enable 3d acceleration on your guest VM that each VM will take another 128MB in host memory.

I've tried 'fit all into ram' and when I go to power one of the machines it it wants to drop that machine's memory to 344. It's supposed to be reserving 1536mb... I don't know... just seems odd that I never had a problem with ver 1
3d acceleration IS enabled, but there's no svga.vramSize set -- the default is 128?
I'll try disabling 3d acesleration and see if that helps

I don't recall having ever owned a well built UPS that didn't require battery voltage to turn on. It makes sense from a safety aspect. If something happens to make the unit fail or the batteries become useless it takes itself out of service once it no longer has power to hold down the line relay. This is how I've gotten many ups's for free or close to it. 9/10 times they just need a fresh set of batteries, there's nothing actually wrong with the unit, even though they refuse to turn on.
Would the UPS still attempt to charge fully dead batteries following a power outage where the batteries were fully drained down?
This one is a hot swappable battery, so it's designed to be disconnected and still function.
For a UPS, the battery bank must send a feedback to the CPU saying it is sufficently powerful enough to boot and work, the AC input doent do anything other than charge the battery bank, and in some cases, provide a temporary voltage for "hot swap" capabilities.
But when everything is off, the battery is required to turn the input relay on. After that, the line input can power everything. I have multiple UPSs and they all behave like that.
Hot swappable doesn't mean cold startable.
The 9Ah battery is a high discharge rate version of a 7Ah battery, it's the same size.

ddns summer of stem cells
September 2011
Drug Discovery News is, described in the simplest and most basic way, a newspaper. Diving a little deeper, it is the job of our editors and writers to monitor trends and developments that impact the business of drug discovery in some way. In the past year, many of these trends and developments have involved the field of stem cell research. Therefore, it is no coincidence that in response to a spike in stem cell-related news, we here at ddn have dedicated a great deal of ink to covering news in this growing research area this year. From collaborations between the world's top pharmas and biotechnology companies, to groundbreaking preclinical research, to the development of new tools to be used in stem cell research labs, ddn has become a veritable "Situation Room" for stem cells.
This trend in our coverage inspired us to launch a summer feature series dedicated exclusively to the topic of stem cells. The three-part series began in our July issue, in which we examined the complex history of stem cell research and the promise it holds for improving human health. We also described how the evolution of this still-young area of science has yet to resolve serious moral and ethical concerns with regard to human embryonic stem cell research (hESC)issues that have divided various levels of government in their capacity to help fund promising research projects. Finally, we provided readers with a comparative view of how stem cell research efforts outside of the United States are conducted, and how various foreign governments approach some of the issues we're dealing with on home soil.
In the second part of our series, which ran in our August issue, we decided to tackle those very issues in a direct way. Assembling a panel of expertsDr. Theresa Deisher, founder, CEO and chief scientific officer of AVM Biotechnology (and one of the plaintiffs in the Sherley v. Sebelius case); Dr. Verna McErlane, director of commercial operations at Sistemic Ltd.; and Dr. Mark Pittenger, CEO and chief scientific officer of Pearl Lifescience Partners LLCwe asked hard-hitting questions about hESC research. The participants in our roundtable discussion offered diverse, but very insightful, comments on the moral and scientific implications of conducting hESC research.
Finally, this month, we are concluding this series with a look at who the major commercial players are in the stem cell marketa sort of "Who's Who of Stem Cell Research." Selecting the companies we chose to profile in this story proved to be a daunting task, as the field is growing by the day. Thus, we teamed up with the market research firm Frost & Sullivan to make our final selections. While our final list is by no means conclusive, we think it's a good depiction of the depth and breadth of stem cell research being performed. We also take a close look at some of the United States' top academic centers that are performing work in this area.
Now that summer is over, and we are awakening from our stem cell coma, we'll be taking a closer look at other trends, such as what's new in cell biology, as well as providing you with guides to the final conferences of the year, such as the Society for Neuroscience's annual show in October. However, we haven't written the last word on stem cells. We will continue to report on the latest business news in this area and are planning another multi-part series in 2012.

'Hanging Ten' in Hawaii, Waving Bye Bye to the French Fry, And Putting a Pie in a Principal's Eye
Teacher Magazine's take on education news from around the Web, May 17-28.
Of all the questions you put to your grade school teachers as a child, "Can we use the unicycles?" was probably not among them. Yes, PE has changed—at least in schools with the scratch to buy the unicycles, yoga mats, rock walls, and in-line skates now edging out dodgeball, rope climbing, and volleyball. With childhood obesity on the rise, some school officials are trying to introduce physical activity as something fun rather than regimented. "We don't want to eliminate team sports," says Anne Flannery, president of P.E.4LIFE, a Missouri-based nonprofit group that promotes physical education. "But those need to be balanced with health and wellness experiences, and learning, so the kids find what they love to do and are physically active their whole lives."
Does catching a wave count as a "wellness experience"? Hawaii's Board of Education apparently thinks so—it recently declared hanging ten an official high school sport after years of banning school-based surfing teams. Students' desire to shoot the tube for interscholastic pride trumped concerns over sharks, liability, and collisions with other surfers in the sport's birthplace.
Any doctor will tell you that physical exercise is a must for healthy living, but it would probably take a day-long PE period to work off all the junk food for sale in many schools. Enter Ed Wilkins, the interim director of student nutrition for San Francisco's public schools, who has literally gutted the bulk of empty calories students once snacked on. French fries are no more. Soda has been banned. Twinkies are a thing of the past. Even the venerable bake sale is now verboten. In their place are salads, fresh fruit, and yogurt. Only the regular lunch line is exempt from the new policy, which was launched at a middle school last year, and has since gone district-wide. Food sales fell at first, Wilkins says, but have since bounced back—as have the students. Sylvia McClain, 12, said she's lost five pounds on the new regimen. Before, she added, "I felt like a potato—a couch potato. I was really lazy and didn't do anything. Now I'm more energetic."
Speaking of empty calories, an honor student in Ohio was expelled and faces possible arrest on assault charges after he won a school contest to put a pie in his principal's face. Students paid 50 cents per ticket to enter the drawing, which raised money to benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, in the hope of winning the privilege of decorating principal Karen Abbott's visage with an aluminum pie tin filled with whipped cream. The 5-foot-5-inch, 110-pound sophomore, whose name was not released, scored a bull's-eye and headed back to his seat, only to find himself escorted to the office, where administrators called police, according to the 15-year-old's father, Don Molnar. "This whole thing is totally wrong," he said. But Danbury Township Police Chief Mike Meisler said the boy took the fun too far. "It wasn't just a toss," he reported. "He smashed the pie in her face." Prosecutors are reviewing the case.
Teachers across the country found themselves accused of taking things too far the week of May 17 when they allowed students to watch the gruesome video of Nicholas Berg's beheading downloaded from an Islamist Web site. High school teachers in Oregon, Texas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, and other states have been put on administrative leave, reprimanded, or are under investigation for either pointing students toward the video or not pulling the plug fast enough when students found it on their own. Many teachers, who said they were given little or no guidance from administrators on the matter, allowed kids to opt out of viewing the video. Several incorporated the event into their current events or social studies curricula.
Under a school board proposal that could be called "Take Your Parent to Detention Day," the parents of chronically tardy and disruptive Middleboro High School students would have to join their kids in weekend detention. School officials have yet to weigh in on the idea, introduced by Middleboro School Board member Jeannie Martin. She said there are students who end up in detention time and time again, and others who skip detention in order to get a two-day suspension from school. "If a parent who works on Saturday had to miss a day of work to attend detention with their child, you can believe that parent will make sure their child doesn't mess up again," she explained. At least one parent, who refused to give her name, seems to think it's a good idea. "I know how kids can act up in class because I was a kid once," she said.

Tuol Sleng Genocide MuseumAddress សង្កាត់បឹងកេងកង៣ ខណ្ឌចំការមន, រាជធានី, St 113, Phnom Penh 12304, Cambodia
Beware the tyrant enslaved to a single idea. It's a recurring theme in history, but we as a species seems doomed to return to it repeatedly under the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot… and others undoubtedly waiting in the wings.
The consequences of Pol Pot's "Year Zero" - his unswerving belief that Cambodia ("Kampuchea") needed to be cleansed from royalists, intellectuals and other filth – can be seen in the space of an afternoon, visiting Phnom Penh's Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields.
"Cambodia has a tragic recent history of genocide, which took place from 1975-1979 and still effects the country today on many different levels," explains Jennifer Ryder Joslin, an expat based in Phnom Penh and co-author (with partner Stevo) of the travel blog Two Can Travel. "The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh is an important site to visit to have a deeper understanding of what the Cambodian people have been through."
- Into the Dark: Tuol Sleng is a notable dark tourism stop in Southeast Asia, but it's not the only one. Read about other dark tourism spots in the region.
A School, then Torture Camp, then Genocide Memorial
Tuol Sleng is a former Khmer Rouge detention and torture camp. Today it's a museum, a ghastly reminder of the dark days of the Khmer Rouge regime.
It was once Tuol Svay Prey High School, before the complex's buildings were cleared for their new role in 1975. The complex was renamed Security Prison 21 (S-21), barbed wire was added to the perimeter, and the windows were fortified with iron bars.
The four main buildings on Tuol Sleng stand around a couple of courtyards that may have been the school's playgrounds before its grisly transformation.
Building A was the main torture facility in Tuol Sleng; the Khmer Rouge did their ghastly work here till the very last minute, killing the last victims just ahead of the Vietnamese invasion in January 1979. The 14 last victims were buried in a plot just outside Building A; you'll come across this cemetery just before entering.
Building B contained holding cells for prisoners, and currently houses a macabre photo gallery of prisoners who were photographed as they were admitted to the building. The Khmer Rouge kept detailed records of prisoners; their haunting photos can be seen here en masse, their sorrowful eyes gazing out at you as if to reproach you for living.
Building C served as Tuol Sleng's main prison barracks. The bottom floor housed the smallest cells, each holding a single prisoner chained to the floor. Women were confined to the second floor. The third floor were mass prison cells, holding large groups chained to long iron bars.
Across from this building stands the "gallows" in the courtyard, used by Khmer Rouge torturers to inflict a sadistic kind of water torture on prisoners.
Building D houses the late Cambodian artist Vann Nath's gruesome paintings, created from first-hand recollections of life (as it were) inside Tuol Sleng. Vann Nath was one of the handful of Tuol Sleng survivors, who were retained for their "usefulness". Read his biography at the memorial site that bears his name.
The Horrors of Tuol Sleng
"Tuol Sleng is a heart wrenching look at the realities millions of Cambodians faced under the Khmer Rouge regime," explains Jennifer Ryder Joslin. "It is a horrifying to see what humans are capable of doing to one another over ideals, yet important to see so that history might not be forgotten nor repeated."
Suffice to say, an afternoon at Tuol Sleng will leave you feeling very, very, heavy indeed.
The horrible genius of the Khmer Rouge lay in their attention to detail. Prisoners were photographed and interrogated on their life details before being chained to their cells. This impersonal yet horrifying collection of data is presented to the visitor, room after room full of photographs of doomed men, women, and children, a glimpse of the estimated 20,000 prisoners who entered Tuol Sleng.
Tuol Sleng's Many Victims
The prisoners were overwhelmingly Cambodian, although the prison did see its share of Americans, British, and Australians. The twisted ideology of the Khmer Rouge meant that anybody with an education, anybody who wasn't from around there, even anybody who wore glasses was suspect, and could (and often did) end up screaming their lives out in Tuol Sleng.
You'll also see a torture chamber, left in almost the same condition as they were found by the Vietnamese invaders who kicked the Khmer Rouge out in 1979. The torture devices are also present, with detailed explanations on how they were used.
The end result of these devices is also nearby - cases of skulls belonging to S-21's unfortunate victims. (Tuol Sleng's most grisly attraction, a "skull map" of Cambodia in 300-plus skulls, was dismantled in 2002.)
Choeung Ek: the Killing Fields
A visit to the "killing fields" outside Phnom Penh completes the grisly picture. Choeung Ek is often paired with Tuol Sleng in many itineraries – you can visit either place without seeing the other, but it doesn't feel right to leave out the place where so many Tuol Sleng prisoners spent their last moments.
The "Killing Fields" were the disposal units for the Khmer Rouge's million or so undesirables. Choeung Ek was the final destination for the vast majority of Tuol Sleng inmates; about 9,000 bodies still lie in mass graves within Choeung Ek.
A Buddhist stupa now looms above Choeung Ek, its acrylic-walled base filled by about 5,000 human skulls, the remains of inmates who were killed here. Many skulls bear signs of killing blows – to save on bullets, executioners at Choeung Ek used pickaxes or cart axles to execute their victims.
Tips for Tuol Sleng Visitors
Getting to Tuol Sleng. S-21 is in Tuol Svay Prey sub-district, about eleven miles south of the capital Phnom Penh. (Location on Google Maps)
"Tuol Sleng is easily reachable by tuk tuk or motorbike," Ryder Joslin tells us. "There are also tourist buses going directly to the museum, however these are neither necessary nor recommended as you can go yourself and hire a guide on site if you would like to." (Read about tuk-tuks in Cambodia.)
When to go. Consider Cambodia's tropical climate when planning a trip to Tuol Sleng. "Go early morning or in the late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day as there is no air conditioning there," advises Ryder Joslin.
Guides at Tuol Sleng are optional, but to my mind, completely necessary. Tuol Sleng is almost unremittingly grim, and you'll need someone to put all the death and pain in context. Guides cost an additional USD$6 on top of the USD$2 entrance fee for Tuol Sleng. (Read about money in Cambodia.)
Take it slow. "Take your time as you go through the museum to feel and grieve and mourn, whatever you need to do," suggests Ryder Joslin. "It is such an intense experience, but one you will be glad you had to better understand Cambodia and what people and their families have been through."
We owe many thanks to Jennifer Ryder Joslin for her valuable inputs. Do me a solid and visit her travel blog Two Can Travel, or check out the blog's Facebook page.
