2) intermediate level language course

updates - On Mondays
(Monday August 30)
The Bohemian Library has been consistently one of our most-viewed page. It started as a list of books I have come across over all these years and I linked the titles to specialist websites so that visitors and I could find more about the authors and the books. Here we have listed the books on our shelves, and used many of those for our articles throughout the language course.
We are also putting a list of DVD, these are films that students may want to borrow at their own libraries or order online via the links. Audio-visual documents such as films and documentaries can help our understanding of the language.
We invite language students to browse through for study or pleasure.

Works by guests

On a separate page, we have archive material written by friends of zebras54 and the occasional text formatted by us.

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN PAKISTAN AFTER FLOODS
more info: Red Cross Pakistan Floods Appeal

Monsoon rains have caused extensive flash flooding throughout Pakistan, killing more than a thousand people and causing widespread damage.
Around 2.5 million people have been affected, and the rains are expected to worsen this week.
The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, which has branches and volunteers across the country, has been helping survivors since the flooding began by delivering food, health services, shelter and relief items (including hygiene kits and cooking equipment).

The HAITI APPEAL - by the British Red Cross
Donate - British Red Cross A devastating earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, killing hundreds and affecting thousands more. Please give what you can to support the appeal. Donate to The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Haiti Earthquake Appeal.


HAITI APPEAL - UNICEF
UNICEF website
We’ve sent emergency teams from around the region to help and UNICEF aid is getting through, providing clean water, preventing disease and saving lives. However more supplies are urgently needed. The situation for Haiti was already difficult before the earthquake hit the island. Haiti is the one of the poorest countries in the world and is struggling to recover from years of violence, insecurity and massive natural disasters. More than half of the country's 9.6 million inhabitants are under 21 years of age.
This is old news now, but we keep it here because while a catastrophe is in the news when it happens, the aftermath will last far longer. updates

thoughts for the well-being of Nobel Prize winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,.
Aung San Suu Kyi


Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, has been detained for 13 of the last 19 years, mostly under house arrest. On May 14, 2009, Aung San Suu Kyi and two of her assistants were taken from her home to Insein Prison following an incident in which an American man allegedly swam across a lake to her house and stayed there for two days. Reliable reports beginning in early May confirm that while still confined in her Yangon home Aung San Suu Kyi had been suffering from dehydration, low blood pressure and weight loss. Her medical condition makes her transfer to Insein Prison at this time doubly serious. Auung San Suu Kyi spent her 64th birthday in prison. In November 2009, US President Barack Obama has called for her release but Auung San Suu Kyi is still under house-arrest .
