www.vientianetimes.org.la Vientiane Times sent a team to Khammuan province, Laos, on September 23-24 to distribute educational supplies and food to children in three primary schools in Nhommalath district, Lao PDR, after launching a Charity appeal in August. The total amount contributed by the public of Laos reached 9.3 million kip in early September, increasing to 15 million kip when Vientiane Times donated a further 5 million kip, including 690000 kip from the newspaper's staff, in Vientiane. About 11.8 million kip was spent on educational materials, noodles, milk, candy and cans of fish for Phonsaek, Nakasang and Nongkhiew primary schools in Nhommalath district. More than 220 pupils benefitted from the aid. According to the leader of the Vientiane Times team Mr Phonekeo Vorakhoun, transport costs pushed the total assistance up to about 13.2 million kip. Unfortunately, the team could not take the final donation to Nongkhiew Primary School, in Khammuan province, because the road was still flooded. The supplies intended for the school are being stored at the district Education Office for later distribution. Mr Phonekeo, of the Vientiane Times, said the remaining public contributions will be used to distribute aid to children in Champassak province, which is expected to occur next month. Vientiane Times is now focusing its attention on collecting further donations from the public to assist students of flood-affected schools in the southern provinces of Lao PDR.

Nakhon Sithammarat is a city in the jangwat (province) of Nakhon Sithammarat in southern Thailand. Not associated with the violence often reported in the more southern provinces. It is a non-touristy place, not frequented by foreign visitors. It's the small things that count here, no big displays, just a nice little home town. For those who wish to know Nakhon I've spent some time just filming the area - just see what the daily life is here. What does life look like? Here in Nakhon at this very time (2009) I decided to document the pace of life. Forgive me if there are many scenes of traffic, but this is a reality of what travel and daily lie is like in my city.

Police detained a local official suspected of murdering the businessman by lacing the dish with a poisonous herb. Here's that story. Chinese police detained a Communist Party official for allegedly murdering a local business tycoon by poisoning a cat meat hotpot. The businessman died in Yangchun City in China's southern province of Guangdong. The director of Yangchun agricultural office, Huang Guang, is accused of putting a poisonous herb—gelsemium elegans—in the hotpot dish. Chinese businessman Long Liyuan, together with Huang Guang and Huang Wen, ate the cat meat hotpot at a local restaurant. Long's daughter said the herb was not put in the soup by someone from the restaurant. "It wasn't raw. It was cooked. He was behaving differently to normal." Long ate more of the stew and died—while the other two men survived. Huang Wen said he didn't eat much. [Huang Wen, Businessman]: "When I ate it I thought that the soup was a little bitter... I thought perhaps sometimes they didn't clean the cat properly, or it contained cat liver." His sharp sensitivity to taste had saved him. [Liu Shichuan, Medical Doctor]: "When Huang Wen came his symptoms were less extreme, but he had some paralysis in his throat." Hotpot is a popular Chinese dish of meat and vegetable stew. Cats ...
