IMDB: Having just entered puberty, bride (Dilan Aksüt) had been forced to marry with groom (Ilyas Salman) whom returned to his hometown after doing many years of jail time and more than fifty years older than her. At first she was afraid, she cries, even resists, having equipped with patchy and second hand sayings, she did not know what is going to happen to her. Sitting in the nuptial chamber with horror, she will start to face with realities after grandfather-aged groom steps into the room.

Rag week will not take place - A note from our sponsors #Galway
"I am very pleased that I have had many opportunities during the past year to attend student events and I congratulate you on the contributions you continue to make to developing a vibrant campus. I encourage you all to avail of the many opportunities to enrich your student experience within your academic spheres and through clubs, societies and volunteering activities. I am pleased by the consideration shown by the majority of students to their neighbours in the communities where they live and regret that we are still dealing with a small number of instances of anti-social behaviour.
I would like to remind students that the student leadership and University authorities have agreed that rag week will not take place and that any use of social media to organise, support or contribute to social events associated with the concept of college week/Rag Week as well as behaviour that would bring the University name into disrepute are examples of breaches of the code.
Regrettably, in 2013 several students were disciplined for breaches of the Code of Conduct during the month of February.

Is a nurse worth €6.49?
The Union of Students in Ireland (USI), student representatives and student nurses will be gathering outside Dáil Éireann today at 11.30 am to launch the ‘Everyone Loves Nurses’ campaign.
The launch is taking place ahead of a larger demonstration that will take place in a fortnight at the HSE.
Due to a drop ins starting salaries, nurses are beginning on €6.49 per hour. This is less than the current minimum wage of €8.65. The same graduate nurses can earn far more abroad, up to €43,614 in Canada.
USI President Joe O’Connor said: “The message to Minister Reilly today is loud and clear; change the starting salary level back to €26,000 for newly graduated nurses."
This drop in starting salary is actively encouraging young graduate nurses to emigrate.

While you were gone...
...your campus may have turned into a bit of a building site. All of the ongoing work looks very impressive, and we can't wait to see the finished products!
First off (and above) there's the renovated Bialann, due to open on Monday 6th of September.
Then the Engineering building begins to look really impressive...
The new concourse entrance is fresh and modern, and you no longer have to dash outdoors in the rain to go to the Bialann.
They're doing something to the north end of the concourse (which means you can't drive but can walk through), and between the library and Áras de Brún.
And last but not least, they've been revamping The Hub in Áras na MacLéinn, and the reception of the Students' Union. Phew.
