PHNOM PENH, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Around 24 Cambodians had been killed by landmines and unexploded ordnances (UXOs) during the first nine months of 2016, remarkably up from only 15 deaths over the same period last year, according to an official report on Friday.
Some 45 others were injured or limps amputated during the January-September period this year, down 36 percent from 70 people over the same period last year, said the report from the Cambodian Mine Action Authority.
It said about 61 landmine and UXO accidents were recorded in the first nine months of this year, down 1.6 percent from 62 cases over the same period last year.
"Seventy percent of the victims were men, 20 percent were boys, and the rest were women and girls," it said.
Cambodia is one of the most landmine-affected countries in the world. An estimated 4 million to 6 million landmines and other munitions were left over from nearly three decades of war that ended in 1998.
The Southeast Asian country needs about 338 million U.S. dollars within 10 years to entirely get rid of all types of mines and explosive remnants of war, according to the government.
Would you believe that accounting Black Jon Gray Jersey , considered by many the most boring of jobs (and college majors) would attract so many people during the past few years? The reason is obvious: scandals, corrupt corporations, the housing bust, the Bernie Madoff case, the U.S. growing deficit. All have made headlines day after day. Film studios see stories about economics as hitting the jackpot, enticing a much larger audience to the megaplexes than Black Chad Bettis Jersey , say, in 1950. Alex Gibney鈥檚 鈥淐asino Jack and the United States of Money,鈥?for example, is a documentary dealing with the corruption and greed of super lobbyist Jack Abramoff, while Michael Moore鈥檚 鈥淩oger and Me鈥?is an indictment of General Motors, whose chairman Black Ian Desmond Jersey , Roger Smith, destroyed the town of Flint with his downsizing. 鈥淐asino Jack鈥?is mighty informative, but still, it鈥檚 not the sort of pic that would rivet a large audience, while 鈥淩oger and Me鈥?is funny, as you鈥檇 expect from Michael Moore Black Jason Motte Jersey , but still, it鈥檚 a documentary that would not necessarily inspire big box office numbers.

The way around this is to make a narrative film like 鈥淲all Street,鈥?whose slogan 鈥淕reed is good鈥?is well-known to a large segment of the population, which went to the theaters to see Michael Douglas and to witness a riveting work of fiction that is closely modeled on real life. And who can resist a movie that stars Richard Gere in almost every frame, expressing himself in the cool tones of a billionaire and also in the harshly melodramatic screams of a man in deep trouble? Such a film is the remarkably well-made 鈥淎rbitrage鈥?(the word means 鈥渁ttempting to profit by exploiting price differences usually of similar markets鈥?. Yorick Le Saux鈥檚 lensing is crystal clear, providing Mr. Gere with the closeups that his fans live for Black Jorge De La Rosa Jersey , Douglas Crise鈥檚 editing is never choppy (no martial arts fights or general mayhem that loses impact from too many cuts per second), and Cliff Martinez鈥檚 music is never overbearing but just enough to add suspense to a plot that already builds to a crescendo before winding down in the final moments.

Gere is the ideal actor for the role of a man who despite combining the greed of a Bernie Madoff or the compulsion to cover up an accident like Ted Kenney at Chappaquiddick has so much charm that we鈥檙e going to root for him to get away with whatever he did. Nor does it hurt his character that the detectives seem so eager to make charges that will stick even if they threaten a young black man with fifteen years鈥?incarceration if he refuses to snitch on the man he helped.
Nicholas Jarecki, the thirty-year-old man writer who serves at its helm, is known for the doc 鈥淭he Outsider,鈥?which gives us a look at what it takes to be a filmmaker. This time, in his first feature-length narrative film Black Trevor Story Jersey , he lets us in on what it鈥檚 like to be a billionaire; exposing the truth that the higher you go, the more crashing the fall, as the Greek tragedians knew so well.
Robert Miller (Richard Gere) has made a blunder with his investors鈥?money, losing hundreds of millions from betting badly on Russian copper, but to give the public the appearance of success, he borrows over four hundred million to cover the loss until he can get an unsuspecting banker named Mayfield to merge the bank with his company. Miller鈥檚 wife Black DJ LeMahieu Jersey , Ellen (Susan Sarandon), is willing to overlook her man鈥檚 dalliances with the beautiful, young Julie (Laetitia Casta). When Julie is killed in an auto accident while driving with Robert to a romantic spot, Robert tries to cover up, as an exposure would ruin his reputation in financial circles and perhaps destroy his relationship with his wife and his daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling). Miller relies on a young family friend Black Greg Holland Jersey , Jimmy (Nate Parker), to get him back to town before sunup, implicating him as an accomplice, thereby whetting the appetite of Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth) to nail Miller through Jimmy.
