Sunny side of life

Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its rugged, remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes. The Northern Lights are visible during winter, and summer brings the “midnight sun”—sunlight 24 hours a day   Longyearbyen, the administrative home seat in Svalbard, is located on the biggest island called Spitsbergen. The city is today a vibrant Arctic metropol with a population of 2100 people from over 40 nations. The society is characterized by active people, living in tough conditions in the wilderness of the High Arctic. Over 100 years of mining has given the city a rough, industrial appearance. Tourism, research / teaching and mining are the main activities today, together with community support. Among other things, there are university center, school, 3 kindergartens, sportarenas, church and cultural center...

A whole sea has just disappeared in the Ex-Soviet Union country, which is presently called Uzbekistan.  Almost 50% of the Sea has disappeared in the last 30 years, thanks to the production of cotton. The sea water is converted into a non-saline water and around 84% of it was used for agricultural purpose and especially for the cultivation of cotton. And now after being overused for so many years, now the soil has lost all its nutrients and the land has become barren land and the sea has been completely drained out. The below picture would show the contrast of how much sea water was lost in the years to follow.

Amelia Dyer is believed to have murdered hundreds of babies during the 19th Century. Her crimes led to one of the most sensational trials of the period and shone a spotlight on the Victorian practice of "baby farming". How did a seemingly respectable woman stoop to such cruelty? On 30 March 1896, a parcel weighted down with a brick was fished out of the River Thames in Reading. Inside, swaddled in layers of linen, newspaper and brown paper, was the partially decomposed body of baby Helena Fry. White tape had been wound around her neck, with a knot under the left ear. It was a gruesome discovery, but one which would lead detectives to unravel the crimes of one of the 19th Century's most notorious child killers. Born in 1837 to a shoemaker in a small village in Bristol, Dyer had endured a tough childhood in which she was the main carer for her mentally ill mother. As an adult, she became a nurse. But, rather than use her skills to care for people, she embarked o...

Land subsidence can be induced by any one of several different activities that involve large volume extraction of underground resources (water, oil and gas, sulfur, salt). Land loss associated with induced subsidence is actually more common than most people realize, especially where large volumes of fluids are removed from underground formations. This induced subsidence, which is either sub-regional or local in extent, has its greatest impact on flat coastal plains and wetlands near sea level where minor lowering of the land surface results in permanent inundation. For more information about induced subsidence, see  Subsidence and Fault Activation Related to Fluid Energy Production, Gulf Coast Basin Project . Subsidence around the Goose Creek Oil field near Houston, Texas was the first evidence that rapid, large volume extraction of hydrocarbons was capable of causing the ground to sink around the producing wells. The induced subsidence, which was discovered shortly after fie...

Zambian locals ran away in terror when they saw a strange human-like figure appear in the clouds above a shopping centre. The alleged apparition, which looked like a Dementor from the Harry Potter movies, was spotted above the Mukuba Mall in Kitwe. Photographs show a large humanoid head and torso, tailing into the sky and it is thought to have measured more than 100 metres (330ft) long.  The dense black shape looked like it was made from a different material from the clouds. From the angle of the photograph, it looks like the apparition was looking down on the shopping centre. The figure hung in the sky for about half an hour and some thought it was a manifestation of God.  A witness said: 'We were shocked to see images that looked like a human in the clouds for close to 30 minutes.  'Some started worshipping but others ran away. It was so strange.'

The destination is far and wild, with life like bonnie and clyde. No man nor women can take your side, side by side, high on your tide, I swim with you. You are mine and You are mine, forever and forever you are mine. I miss every second when you are not around, time feels like deep wound with pain and pain. Your laughter and your smile, makes my day and night, Your laughter and your smile. I miss you night and day, Without you my life is lifeless Hay. Rex Dedicated to Jenni
