Only 14, Bangladeshi girl charged with adultery was lashed to death.
        Hena was the youngest of five children in her family. They shared a hut made from. Khan's wife heard Hena's faint screams and when she found Hena with her husband, she dragged the girl back to her hut, beat her and corrugated tin and decaying wood and led a simple life that was suddenly marred a year ago with the return of Hena's cousin Mahbub Khan. On her way home from school she was bullied by Khan. Many months later on a winter night, Hena was walking from her room to an outdoor toilet when Khan gagged her with cloth, forced her behind nearby shrubbery and beat and raped her. Hena struggled to escape trampled her on the floor.
I don’t think that older people should take their anger out on younger children. Especially young girls that was innocent. An older man lashed a 14 year old girl because of having an affair with a married man. He is very rude to do that action to her. The punishment was: 101 lashes delivered swiftly, deliberately in public. She had dropped to the floor after 70 lashes. Her parents had been watching this scene and were threatened. They were not able to go save their daughter from Aklima Begum.
        Bruised, bleeding and near death, she was rushed to the hospital. Once they attempted to help her she died a week later.
The man that abused the girl should have been charged many things. He wasn’t charged for anything because he had 201 lashes for him to have. He managed to escape during the punishment.
The government had put body guards around this family to keep them safe. Their attempt had failed and she was raped and killed. The family should be able to sue the country for their actions.
                I think that this punishment should be illegal and that they should not be able to do mean things to people in your country. This girl had died in innocence and didn’t deserve to be killed. Especially since she had been 14 years old. Even though she had an affair she is still too young to be married.
        This man is a mean guy for beating her up. She is so sad now because she is dead. It is really sad that she died because she is not even old enough to be married.
Public outrage shot by that autopsy report prompted the high officials to order of Hena's body in February. A second autopsy started at Dhaka Medical College Hospital showed Hena had died of excessive bleeding and her body shed the marks of severe injuries.
Police are now leading an investigation and have arrested several people, including Mahbub Khan, in connection with Hena's death.
"I've nothing to demand but justice," said Darbesh Khan, taking a reporter to the place where his daughter was abducted the night she was raped.
He stood in very quietly and took a deep breath. She wasn't even old enough to be married, he said, testament to Hena's tenderness in a part of the world where many girls are married before adulthood. "She was so small."
Hena's mom, Aklima stared absently as she spoke of her daughter's last minutes. She could not even say her own words. "She was innocent," Aklima said, recalling Hena's last words.
Police were protecting Hena's family earlier this month. Darbesh and Aklima were scared for having spoken out against the village elders.
They had thought out the most severe punishment for their youngest daughter. They could get nothing past them.

Africa and Argentina on an island, high powered people say a massive penguin rescue operation is under way.

A jumble of island officials and resident volunteers are shaving troubles saving tens of thousands of Northern Rockhopper penguins threatened by an oil spill in the stretches of the south Atlantic, about 1,500 miles west of Cape Town, South Africa.
A cargo ship leaked thousands of heavy oil, soya bean and diesel fuel near Nightingale Island. At least 300 penguins have died.
"I've seen about 15 to 20 dead penguins just today," director Trevor Glass said.
"The danger now is getting the rest of these penguins past that oil slick," Glass said.
The rescue had begun March 16, when the M.S. Oliva, a Maltese, registered ship, ran aground, fracturing the vessel in two.
The ship was heading from Santos, Brazil, to Singapore and had been carrying 60,000 metric tons of soya beans and 1,500 metric tons of heavy fuel, according to islands' administrator Sean Burns and Transport Malta, the Maltese shipping authority.
The ship was heading from Santos, Brazil, up to Singapore. There was 60,000 metric tons of soya beans and 1,500 metric tons of heavy fuel.
The agency said in a statement that it "is investigating the grounding and subsequent complete hull failure" of the bulk carrier cargo ship.

There were 22 crew members that were on video during the dramatic rescue. It also showed penguins soaked in heavy oil.
The people who shot by an expedition team from eco-tourism ship.  While filming them camera men used inflatable boats to help carry the sailors back to safety.
Currently an oil sheen has been surrounding a chain around the island. Many officials say this could lead to a disaster in the environment.
            While using inflatable watercraft and fishing vessels, they are taking penguins to rehabilitation centers at the main island of Tristan da Cuhua.
Conservationists and volunteers are working in an effort to nurse the blackened penguins back to health.
"We need help," said Katrine Herian, a spokeswoman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds who is also apart of the ongoing rescue effort.
"The priority is to get food into the birds as they are very hungry," she said. "We are trying locally caught fish and some are starting to take small half-inch squares of the food."
Someone noted that some of the islands' residents had emptied their personal freezers in an effort to help feed the animals.
By Friday, A team had corralled and transported a total of nearly 5,000 penguins, during horrible winds and high seas that had played with the earlier rescue attempts.
Their timing when they were there became risky.
The shipwreck, having come at the end of the birds' molting season, this is a period during which penguins shed their feathers, do not eat and largely stay out of the water,  left the birds "at their weakest possible state," Guggenheim explained. "They're very hungry."
Less than 300 people currently live on the island chain, next to the its massive penguin population, estimated at 150,000, which makes about 40 percent of the world's total.
It is amazing how they have saved so many penguins and that they won’t be in harm any more. But for all the ones that died they should have prevented this from happening and checked their cargo before they had left their ports. Thankfully the men and women who have been trying their hardest to save every penguin they could they were able to save so many. Now we are able to see penguins not harmed. Now 5,000 penguins are saved.

How To Do A Tumbling Tricks.

Back-hand springs: First you get a mat that is pretty long and fairly wide. Then you get a cheese mat. A cheese mat is a mat that is shaped like a block of cheese. You stand on the taller edge of the cheese mat. Then you lean back until you almost fall and squat and jump up and back with your arms locked. When you go back you land in a handstand then snap your legs back and your body will automatically pull up.

Front-hand springs:  First you get a really long mat. Then you start at the front end of the mat and run and go into a running handstand then snap your legs forward and push our hips way forwatd and stick your feet and pull up. You man need abs to do this trick.

Front walk over: First you kick your legs into a handstand. then put your legs on the other side of your head. Then you swing your hips forward and pull your waist up.

Back-walk over: You get a mat then you do a back bend and kick your legs over. your legs need to be straight in order to get them over. then you pull you head up.

Doing these may take some time to achieve. It may take a whuke ti become as pro as me. Good luck :)

Is Blogging Jounalism

I believe that blogging is journalism. Journalism is writing what is going on around you or your opinions on different subjects. This is a thing that some may differ. Because this is being thought differently others may have their own opinions.
 I think that when people are just writing in their journal that is journalism. It is when you record what has been going on around you. I like to read what people wrote about olden days but i dont like reading what everyone in general had to day because everyones perspective is different.
