Three More Die on Mount Everest During Crowded Climbing Season

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Three more people died Thursday on Mount Everest, as crowds of climbers added to the dangers of attempting to scale the world’s highest peak.

The three died just days after a widely circulated photo showed a long line of climbers extending along a narrow ridge, waiting to reach the 29,029-foot summit and its expansive view of the Himalayas. Two others died on Mount Everest earlier this week.

Top Tourist Attractions: HongKong

Hong Kong is impressive from many angles—beneath the towering skyscrapers, or from a ferry crossing Victoria Harbour—but you can see its finest side from the air. As your flight approaches the city, it feels like the mist parts and reveals a modern paradise, where hilly islands surround a concrete jungle. Best. Skyline. Ever.

Despite all analysis or otherwise, ONLY thing matters is now we have a clear democratically elected well meaning , corruption-free and proactive PM of India unless you take a dig at decision capability of Indian voter or blame EVM/EC like a typical 'elite' who know it all especially liberals , pseudo secular, and antinational , corrupt media (including international ) and politicians/intellectuals/actors and so on.

Emmanuel Macron’s Grand Ambitions Are at Stake in European Elections

For President Emmanuel Macron of France, it has been Europe or bust from the beginning.

Since his election two years ago, he has fashioned himself as the leader of Europe, laying out a grand vision of deeper integration. He has tried to stoke passion in a skeptical populace with an open letter in newspapers to “the citizens of Europe.” He has warned urgently of a “European civil war” that threatens the continent’s values.

Strange waves rippled around Earth. Now we may know why.

On May 10, 2018, the geologic beasts of the tiny island of Mayotte began to stir. Thousands of earthquakes rattled the French island, which is sandwiched between Africa and Madagascar. Most were minor shakes, but they included a magnitude 5.8 event that struck on May 15, the largest yet recorded in the region's history.

In the midst of this seismic swarm, a strange low-frequency rumble rippled around the world, ringing sensors nearly 11,000 miles away—and baffling scientists.

Nayakgiri: तो डोंगरांचा काटकोन व ती लांब रेघ

http://nayakgiri.blogspot.com

शनिवार आला आणि माझ्यातला आनंदयात्री जागा झाला. वातावरण अगदी मराठी मॉन्सून  सारखे चिंब. हवेत पुणेरी गुलाबी थंडी सारखा सुखद गारवा . नुकताच आलेला वसंत ऋतू नावाचा  पाहुणा ह्या वर्षचक्रात शिरल्याचा पुरावा म्हणून काही दिवसांपूर्वी निष्पर्ण असलेल्या  वृक्ष्यांनी पानांचे  हिरवे   किंवा वेगवेगळ्या  रंगांचे   शेले पांघरले होते.  नेहेमीप्रमाणे पर्यटनाची साद घालताच जिवलगांनी होकार दिला आणि  आमचा  रथ  घराच्या जवळ असलेल्या द्रुतगती  रस्त्यावर   मार्गक्रमण करू लागला. स्वछ गावे , सुंदर रस्ते,  घरे , आलिशान ईमारती , दुकाने, बागा , झाडी , चढउतार  सगळे होते . सारे काही सुंदर आणि रमणीय होते. जिवलग  तेच होते . नव्हता  फक्त डोंगरांचा एक काटकोन आणि एक लांब रेघ . 

घरी सुरेख कांदा भजी होते .  पिठले पण छान होते ,  भुट्टा करायला कणसे पण मिळतात . चहा पण मिळतो . ताक पण  जमते . सगळे काही असते पण नसतो तो  डोंगरांचा काटकोन आणि ती लांब रेघ 

*पशुपक्षांकडून मिळणारे पावसाचे पूर्वसंकेत* - मारुती चितमपल्ली

1. चातक पक्षी -*

पावसाळा जवळ आल्याचे संकेत आफ्रिकेतून आलेले चातक पक्षी सर्वप्रथम देतात. पाऊस अगदी वेळेवर येणार असेल तर चातक पक्ष्यांचे आगमन लवकर होते. जर त्यांचे आगमन लांबले तर पाऊसही लांबणार, ही काळ्या दगडावरची रेघ. त्यासाठी कोणत्याही भविष्यवेत्त्याची गरज नाही. चातक पक्षी ‘पिऊ.. पिऊ’ या त्यांच्या सांकेतिक आवाजात ओरडू लागले की पहिल्या पावसाचे दिवस जवळ आले हे हमखास समजावे.

*2. पावशा पक्षी -*

चातक पक्ष्याप्रमाणेच सृष्टीतील बदलांचे पूर्वसंकेत देणाऱ्या आश्चर्यकारक घटनांचा पावशा पक्षी हा आणखी एक महत्त्वाचा दूत! ‘पेर्ते व्हा’ असे सांगणारा पावशा ओरडू लागला की जुन्या काळी शेतकरी मशागतीची कामे सुरू करत.

*3. तित्तीर पक्षी -*

माळरानावर, शेतांवर काळ्या-पांढऱ्या, अंगावर ठिपके असलेल्या तित्तीर पक्ष्यांचे थवे ‘कोडय़ान केको.. कोडय़ान केको..’ अशा सांकेतिक स्वरात ओरडू लागले की आता लवकरच पाऊस येणार असे खुशाल समजावे. जंगलातील माळरानांत या पक्ष्यांचे अस्तित्व फारसे आढळून येत नाही. परंतु मानवी वस्त्यांशेजारच्या माळरानांवर तित्तीरांचा गडबडगुंडा सुरू झाला की ते हमखास पावसाचे लक्षण समजले जाते.

Top Tourist Attractions: Lisbon, Portugal

You can't walk down a street in Lisbon without spotting something beautiful. Just check out the terra-cotta roofs of Alfama, or the neo-classical architecture on the riverfront Praça do Comércio. But really, the visual appeal of Lisbon can be summed up in just three words: tiles, tiles, tiles.

Prison riot in Tajikistan leaves 32 dead

A riot at a prison in Tajikistan has left 32 people dead, including 24 members of the Islamic State militant group and three guards, authorities said Monday.

Five of the inmates and the three guards were killed by IS prisoners during the riot that erupted on Sunday evening, the justice ministry said in a statement.

The prison in Vakhdat, 17 kilometres (11 miles) east of the capital Dushanbe, holds 1,500 inmates.

It said the prisoners first stabbed to death three guards, and then five other inmates "in order to intimidate" the others.

They then took other prisoners hostage before opening fire on the jail's medical facilities.

"Following a reprisal operation, 24 members of this group were killed and 25 others arrested. The hostages were freed" and calm restored to the prison, the statement said.

Among the leaders of the riot, the Tajik authorities identified the 20-year-old son of the former head of Tajik special forces who became a member of the IS leadership in Syria, where he was killed in September 2017.

Top Tourist Attractions: Krakow Poland

It seems like every European city boasts a beautiful central square, but we'd argue that Krakow's Rynek Glówny ranks among the best. The square is defined by its 15th-century town hall tower (which you can, and should, climb), with the UNESCO-listed Wawel Castle just a short walk away. Oh, and the city's 40-plus parks certainly don't hurt the attractiveness score here.
