Two female astronauts are making history. How to watch NASA’s first all-female spacewalk

Men have floated out the hatch on all 420 spacewalks conducted over the past half-century.
That changed Friday with spacewalk No. 421.
NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir ventured outside the International Space Station before 8 a.m. ET Friday and will spend over five hours replacing a broken battery charger, or BCDU. NASA's livestream of the historic spacewalk features astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson as one of the female narrators.

Past three months in Afghanistan have been the deadliest for civilians in a decade

More civilians have been killed and injured in Afghanistan in the last quarter than during any other three-month period in the past decade, according to a United Nations report released Thursday. The spike in civilian deaths and injuries comes as violence has worsened after talks to end the 18-year war gained steam and suddenly collapsed.

Qutab – A humble dish that oozes incredible warmth 
My holiday in Baku, Azerbaijan last month was a one of its kind unwinding experience, the one that not just had a rejuvenating effect on me, but also helped me to contemplate in general. I don’t exactly know how to put the feeling across, but I guess I have come back with loads of positive energy - assertiveness, confidence and self-assurance. It is like a sense of realisation that all the good I need is within me, I just need the right perspective. I don’t know what to make of it all, but it sure feels good and I should figure it all out soon…
Situated on the Silk Route, Azerbaijan played a vital role in the development of the global transit network and in facilitation of trade activities. One can see an inimitable mix of cultures in this country as a result of centuries old influences of European, Asian and African culture, lifestyle, languages, cuisine, et al.  Indian Merchants of the 14th & 15th century traded spices, cashmere, fabrics, artefacts among other goods in the cities of Baku and Shamakhi. There is a very distinctive adaptation of words from Indian languages that can be seen in the Azerbaijani dialect. Museums here display an array of historical artefacts, objects, musical instruments and other material of Indian origin. At the Atesgah Fire Temple in Baku, one is delighted to see a finely preserved and tastefully displayed Nataraja Idol in one of its enclaves. And the feeling of delight quickly transforms into a moment of transcendence, as the continuous serene chants “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” are heard playing in the background in another one.
