Correction appended, June 23

Fifteen years after the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention gathered for the first time with a signed treaty in Mozambique, its leaders met again Monday to asses the progress that has been made. In the past 15 years, 161 countries have signed on. The meeting, which will last through Friday, will evaluate the advancements that have been made banning the use of land mine weapons, helping land mine victims, and clearing minefields.

In the bordering country of Tanzania, Giant African Pouched Rat rats are being used to identify and sniff out land mines. These enormous rodents are bred and trained by a Belgian NGO called APOPO, which has its headquarters based in Tanzania. Once the rats have undergone the six-step training process to become experts at sniffing out TNT and detecting mines they are known as HeroRATs. These photo show what the training process is like for these life-saving rodents.

Correction: The original version of this story misstated when the meeting of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention will end and when members first met as signatories to the treaty.

Hyderabad: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) on Tuesday began demolishing illegal structures built on prime land in Madhapur area near Hitec City.

At least 21 structures including high-rise buildings and a school that were built on the land were set to be demolished, officials said. Some of them belong to Ayyappa society.

Ten teams from GHMC, armed with bulldozers and other heavy equipment, protected by police, launched the clearing operation on Tuesday morning, from survey No. 11 to 37, to reclaim 620 acres of land.

The land originally belonged to Gurukul Trust but was illegally encroached on by reportedly influential people, including politicians and bureaucrats.

The operation to clear the illegal structures was launched a day after Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao held a review meeting with officials including the GHMC Commissioner Somesh Kumar, director-general of police Anurag Sharma and some ministers.

An angry Chief Minister wanted to know from the officials how water and electricity connections were provided to the illegal structures in the area.

As many of the properties belong to people and companies from the Seemandhra region, some people tried to give it a political color. But leaders of Raos Telangana Rashtra Samitri party said they had promised during the election campaign to clear encroachments on all lands including that of Gurukul Trust, Bhoodan lands and Waqf lands.

Back in September 2012 a division bench of Andhra Pradesh High Court had declared Gurukul Trust the absolute owner of the 625 acres of land in the area and asked the encroachers to compensate the trust.

A recent government survey also revealed that in Ranga Reddy district alone 17,513 acres of government land was encroached upon. The value of the land was estimated at whopping Rs3 trillion (Dh183 billion).

A Burlington kitchen remodeling company has reportedly left dozens across the Triangle and Triad high and dry.

American Kitchen Corp. closed last week, prompting an investigation by the N.C. Department of Justice Consumer Protection Division and the Better Business Bureau, and many customers are reporting unfinished kitchens despite paying the Burlington business upfront.

Paul and Frances Tausch first heard about American Kitchen when they received an advertisement in the mail in March.

We checked them out, Paul said. The BBB had given them a good rating, (and) I didnt see any complaints at the time. We decided we would have them give us an estimate.

The Wake Forest couple met with company representatives and an engineer, and ultimately paid them a little more than $12,000 to get the business started on a remodeled kitchen, he said.

Every time the couple wanted to check on a price or look at the competition, American Kitchen was able to offer a sale or additional discount, they said.

We were always the ones contacting them, Frances said. We never heard from them. We were always the ones initiating the conversation.

They were told work would begin tentatively at the end of May, and the couple began removing some of the cabinets, hoping to use them in the garage, and packing up the kitchen. When work didnt begin, they called the store and were left with little or no answers.

A man didnt know how many jobs they had, Frances said. We asked, How many work crews do you have? He said, I dont know. He didnt know anything and worked for this company.
