On April 17, 1975, as the Khmer Rouge seized the capital of Phnom Penh, the life of a six-year-old girl named Bopha Yonge was changed forever. Her family was driven out of their village of Bātdâmbâng and with millions of others, was forced straight into Hell. In a country that is less than half the size of CA, leader of Khmer Rouge and paramilitary dictator Pol Pot sought out to purify Cambodia and eliminate educated people in order to nationalize peasant farming. More than one million people died.

5 Seconds of Summer
Australian band makes pop-punk mainstream
This summer was filled with many new obsessions, like dumping ice on your head and buying more clothes that are originally from the 80s; however, the music scene had a different type of breakout star. Four boys from Sydney, Australia have made their way into the eyes of the public with their self-titled debut album, “5 Seconds of Summer.” More importantly, these boys have brought pop-punk music back onto mainstream radio stations, and even back onto award shows. The band consists of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals/guitar), Michael “Mikey” Clifford (guitar), Calum Hood (bass/vocals), and Ashton Irwin (drums). These 18 and 20-year-old guys have been making their mark on the billboard charts and radio stations around the world.
THE “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY” SAVE THE UNIVERSE
…and the summer box office

They come together for a selfish purpose, but a quest to cash in on a mysterious orb ultimately unlocks a sinister plot to destroy the realms. In forcing its characters to discover their own virtues and establish a new definition for the term ‘hero,’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” became the fresh, funny, and unexpected hit of the summer.

The show’s second installment, available online as of June 6th, goes deeper into the lives of everyone’s favorite convicts as racial lines are drawn in the sand of Litchfield Penitentiary. The arrival of new inmates shakes up alliances, and it’s every woman for herself in the show’s highly-anticipated second season.
