...PURI, INDIA Bring Your Own Film Festival A beach in India's Orissa state is hardly the French Riviera, but this alternative gathering of barefoot filmmakers has managed to stagger through to its ninth year. While the Pink House Hotel is the official venue, screenings and happenings are also held in outdoor tents. As the name implies, BYOFF is an all-embracing affair: for a small registration fee, anyone can submit a movie, in any format and about pretty much anything, and there are no juries or awards. At the time of writing we were unable to confirm dates...
...know these areas are going to stay protected? What happens if a forest burns to the ground?" A third concern is calculating how much carbon is stored in a forest, and what emissions are actually avoided by preserving it. In September a multinational research team led by French landscape ecologist David Gaveau asserted that the Ulu Masen scheme might not significantly reduce deforestation in northern Sumatra because much of the ecosystem is upland, inaccessible and therefore unlikely to be logged anyway...
Still, the brand extension surprised Lee Anne Wong, who, as a contestant in Season 1, created the chicken in red curry sauce that Schwan's is now eager to pack in dry ice and leave on people's doorsteps.

The other 18 children in the trial were cured, but the setback reverberated through the field, dissuading researchers and funding. "A lot of financial interest has disappeared since it became clear that...
...This is not the kind of news the United Nations wants to hear. In fact, the report is an implicit condemnation of the recent strategy adopted by the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo, known by its French acronym MONUC. The operation began in 2000 as a way of monitoring the end of a five-year civil war in Congo, but the violence has dragged on for years and the U.N. has been unable to rid the region of insurgents, some of whom crossed the border from Rwanda after the genocide of the 1990s. After taking the lead role in fighting...
