Unfolding in 1760s France, it tells the grim story of Suzanne, a young aristocrat sent to a convent by her family.

When she rebels, she experiences extreme cruelty at the hands of a wantonly sadistic Mother Superior and becomes an object of erotic fascination for another.

The film never slips into prurience or sensationalism - and that's the problem.

The earnest solemnity of the storytelling risks making it a hair shirt-like ordeal for audiences, too.

The CSA's Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Munna Singh, has decided to charge an entrance fee to the park because of the litter being left in the park.

The departments have been given a 15 day ultimatum to clean the park.

On Friday morning at ten o'clock the Vice-Chancellor randomly inspected the Deputy Director of Parks Department and Director of Research along with the parks department.

During this time more than a dozen employees of these departments, including the director, were found absent from their posts.

After reprimanding them he warned that their wages would be cut if they were found absent again.

The director of the university, Dr. Naushad Khan, said that a monthly pass of Rs.30 would be charged for this purpose.

People would be able to visit the park for a daily fee of 1 Rs.

Work will be done systematically: The files from various departments will be put in front of the Vice-Chancellor under a system.

No employee will have the right to enter the office of the Vice-Chancellor with their files.

The officer concerned will present the files to the Vice-Chancellor.

Syria has destroyed its chemical weapons making ability, watchdog group says

Syria has destroyed critical equipment for producing chemical weapons and poison gas munitions, the global chemical weapons watchdog said Thursday as fierce clashes raged in the country's north, close to one of the sites where toxic agents are believed to be stored.

Also Thursday, a Syrian activist group said more than 120,000 people have been killed since the start of the country's civil war nearly three years ago.

The announcement by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons came one day ahead of the Nov.

1 deadline set by The Hague-based organization for Damascus to destroy or "render inoperable" all chemical weapon production facilities and machinery for mixing chemicals into poison gas and filling munitions.

The completion of what is essentially the initial stage of destruction is a significant milestone in an ambitious timeline that aims to destroy all of Damascus' chemical weapons by mid-2014.

Destruction of the equipment means that Syria can no longer produce new chemical weapons.

However, Damascus still has to start destroying existing weapons and stockpiles.

The country is believed to have around 1,000 metric tons of chemicals and weapons including mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin.

The announcement came as fighting raged Thursday in the town of Safira, which experts say is home to a chemical weapons production facility as well as storage sites, reported the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The activist group, which has been tracking the death toll through a network of activists in Syria, said Thursday that 120,296 people have died.

Of those, it said 61,067 are civilians, including 6,365 children.

On the government side, it said 29,954 are members of President Bashar Assad's armed forces, 18,678 are pro-government fighters and 187 are Lebanese Hezbollah militants.

Also among the dead it said were 2,202 army defectors and some 5,375 opposition fighters, many of them foreigners.

On July 25, the U.N. estimated 100,000 have died in the conflict since March 2011.

It has not updated that figure since.

The conflict has forced some 2 million people to flee the country.

Assad's troops have been battling rebels, many of them linked to al-Qaida groups, in Safira for weeks.

The Observatory said there were casualties on both sides Thursday but had no specifics.

The fighting underscored the dangers the chemical weapons' inspectors face as they race against tight deadlines in their mission to rid Syria of the toxic arsenal in the midst of an ongoing civil war.

A statement from the OPCW, which works closely with the United Nations, said its team was "now satisfied that it has verified - and seen destroyed - all of Syria's declared critical production and mixing/filling equipment."

It added that, "no further inspection activities are currently planned."

Earlier this week, the inspectors said they had completed their first round of verification work, visiting 21 of 23 sites declared by Damascus.

They were unable to visit two sites because of security concerns, the inspectors said.

On Thursday, OPCW said the two locations were, according to Syria, "abandoned and ... the chemical weapons program items they contained were moved to other declared sites, which were inspected."

It was not immediately clear if the facility in Safira was one of the two sites that OPCW inspectors were not able to visit.

Syria has submitted a plan for the total destruction of its chemical weapons that has to be approved next month by the OPCW's executive committee.

I salute the fortitude and courage you've all demonstrated in fulfilling the most challenging mission ever undertaken by this organization, the watchdog's director-general, Ahmet Uzumcu, said in comments released by the OPCW.

Now in its third year, the civil war pits the primarily Sunni Muslim rebels against Assad's government and its security forces, which are stacked with members of his Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

In other developments, the Observatory's chief Rami Abdurrahman said there had been a strong explosion Wednesday inside an air defense facility in Syria's coastal province of Latakia.

The cause of the blast was not known, he said.

Police seized a forged registry, forged seals, a laptop and photocopies of registration documents from the accused.

Moti Nagar police have registered a case against the accused.

Police commissioner Paramjit Singh said that those arrested and accused are Haiboval Rajiv Agarwal a.k.a. Bintu from Chandan Nagar, from Ghumar Mandi, Kamal Krushna Jaiswal, Gurwinder Singh Jaggi from Kohada and Sonu from Ghumar Mandi.

Balbir Singh from the Registrar Office (East) has fled from the scene.

According to the police the accused used to take out the documents of the records of vacant and old plots with the help of Balbir Singh, a clerk and record keeper in the Registrar Office and then, by purchasing new stamp papers, used to make counterfeit registration documents for them.

Not only that, but they used to destroy the original registry documents and then the false registry documents were updated in the records.

Then the accused use to sell the land with counterfeit papers for crores of rupees.

At the same time, they would take out loans against these counterfeit documents.

Thereafter, the original owner would be left running to the police and administration.

Those accused of the counterfeit registrations were especially intersted in the NRIG plots.

As no-one was looking after the NRIG plots.

So it was easy to forge registration documents and sell the land.

The Police Commissioner said that, upon interrogation, the accused said that they had made about 150 counterfeit registrations so far.

According to police Rajiv, the leader of the gang, already has a criminal record for fraud and theft.

Anger over Bali bomb plotter's sentence

Survivors and relatives of the 202 people killed in the 2002 Bali bombing have reacted with anger over the sentence given to the last of the plotters to face justice, saying Umar Patek should face a firing squad.

Patek, who spent almost 10 years on the run as one of South-East Asia's most wanted, was yesterday sentenced to 20 years in jail for his role in building the explosive devices used in the bombing.

He could be released within 15 years if granted parole.

The 45-year-old was found guilty of mass murder for the attack on two nightclubs in the popular tourist area of Kuta which left 202 people dead, including 88 Australians, and injured scores more.

He was also found guilty of a number of other terrorism-related charges, including a wave of bombings of churches across Indonesia on Christmas Eve in 2000.

Prosecutors had demanded a life sentence, although they could have pushed that the man dubbed the "Demolition Man" for his reputation as a master bomb-maker be sentenced to death.

The decision has reignited painful memories for Perth mother June Corteen, who lost her 39-year-old twin daughters Jane and Jenny in the destruction unleashed by Patek and his co-conspirators almost a decade ago.

Fighting back tears, she said Patek should have been sentenced to death.

I really feel that he should follow in the footsteps of the other guys.

He should be put in front of the firing squad, Ms Corteen told AAP.

I have to live every day without seeing more grandchildren, and my daughters.

The Sari Club was levelled when a massive bomb loaded into a van parked outside was detonated just after 11pm on October 12, 2002.

Peter Hughes was in Paddy's Bar where a suicide bomber detonated a backpack loaded with explosives just 20 seconds earlier.

He lapsed into a month-long coma in the wake of the bombing, and "died" three times while on life support.

Mr Hughes said Patek should have shared the same fate as three other members of the Jemaah Islamiah terror cell responsible for the carnage - Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra - who were executed four years ago.

Really, this guy should get the death penalty before anybody.

To keep him alive, well, there's no reason to keep him alive.

To get 20 years, after killing 202 people and injuring many hundreds, it's not much.

Patek is the last of the Bali bombers to face justice.

He had avoided capture for almost a decade but was eventually apprehended in January 2011 in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where US forces killed former al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden less than four months later.

During the trial, an FBI agent testified that intelligence reports had revealed Patek was in Pakistan to meet with bin Laden in an effort to re-establish links between South-East Asian terrorist groups and al-Qaeda.

He didn't give himself up, Ms Corteen said.

Until just recently, he really didn't feel sorry for how much grief he caused other people.

The verdict comes ahead of the 10th anniversary of the attack later this year, which will be marked by ceremonies in Bali and Australia.

There will be a lot of tears this year, Ms Corteen said.

Patek may yet appeal his sentence.

FAA: Air passengers can now use gadgets on planes (but not make cell phone calls)

Airline passengers will be able to use their electronic devices gate-to-gate to read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music - but not talk on their cellphones - under much-anticipated new guidelines issued Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration.

But passengers shouldn't expect changes to happen immediately.

How fast the change is implemented will vary by the airline, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said at a news conference.

Airlines will have to show the FAA how their airplanes meet the new guidelines and that they've updating their flight crew training manuals and rules for stowing devices to reflect the new guidelines.

The FAA said it has already received plans from some airlines to expand the use of portable electronic devices on planes.

Delta and JetBlue were among the airliners who have already submitted plans.

Depending on the condition of the plan, we could approve expanded use of electronic devices very soon, the FAA said in a statement.

Currently, passengers are required to turn off their smartphones, tablets and other devices once a plane's door closes.

They're not supposed to restart them until the planes reach 10,000 feet and the captain gives the go-ahead.

Passengers are supposed to turn their devices off again as the plane descends to land and not restart them until the plane is on the ground.

Under the new guidelines, airlines whose planes are properly protected from electronic interference may allow passengers to use the devices during takeoffs, landings and taxiing, the FAA said.

Most new airliners and other planes that have been modified so that passengers can use Wifi at higher altitudes are expected to meet the criteria.

Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, welcomed the changes.
