Interesting episodes of crime and missing people – perhaps be can solve the mysteries together?
Pink’s recent comments are not just unfortunate but also incompatible with the role of a UNICEF Ambassador—an individual expected to promote peace, understanding, and humanitarian values above personal biases. UNICEF’s mission is to uphold the rights and dignity of all children, regardless of political affiliations or geographic boundaries. We rely on ambassadors to be torchbearers of these principles, fostering inclusive dialogue and meaningful support.
Five of the deaths were reported in Bokaya village and the other in Nani Jharia hamlet. Jharkhand celebrated Karam, one of the biggest tribal festivals after Sarhul, on Tuesday.
The festival concludes with the immersion of a branch of Karam tree that was worshipped during the festival. Palamu Superintendent of Police Kapil Choudhary said an eight-year-old boy had drifted deep into the Koel river during the immersion ceremony in Bokaya village.
Four people jumped in to rescue him, and all of them drowned, he said. The bodies have been fished out of the river and sent for post-mortem, he added.
The deceased have been identified as Amit Kumar Thakur (22), Nitish Kumar Singh (18), Vishal Paswan (16), Raja Singh (12) and Hemant Kumar Singh (8).
In Nani Jharia village, 16-year-old Simpi Kumari drowned after she slipped and fell into a pond during an immersion ceremony there.
After surveying and identifying the bombs, UXO Lao teams coordinated with local authorities and informed nearby residents about the planned destruction process.
Following safety assessments, the bombs were moved approximately 1,500 metres away from the community to a secure demolition site.
Authorities said the explosives were destroyed using low-order demolition techniques in accordance with technical safety standards.
The operation was conducted to ensure the safety of local residents and prevent potential risks from unexploded ordnance remaining from US aggression in Laos.
Buddhist Head-Monk in-charge of a wealthy temple under royal protection (he was filmed engaging in sexual activity with a 47-year old female lay practitioner – as well as embezzling billions of baht into a private bank account. Many Buddhist temples exist in impoverished locations – with the monastics being told that they must be sustained entirely upon “Dhamma”. Now, having said that, this is not to imply that the Dhamma is not upheld in temples sponsored by the King of Thailand. The temple in Wimbledon is a very good example of a well-run Buddhist institute. Monastics living in the remote jungle areas of Thailand often do not eat for days on end – with some sieving water for nourishing algae found in flowing rivers to stave-off starvation. Either the laity are non-existent – or are too poor to even provide scraps of food to monastics during their daily begging rounds. The Theravada tradition is very good and it is important for Buddhism that its practices are upheld properly.
Thailand has a long-standing tradition of “extending warm hospitality to foreign visitors”, he said. “However, let it be clearly understood by the embassy and the government of Israel that generosity must never be mistaken for weakness.”
Accusing Israelis of wanting to “occupy our country, building your own community”, he added: “Hospitality does not equate to submission to exploitation, and courtesy is not an open licence for anyone to act with impunity on our sovereign soil.”
“Widespread grievances” committed by Israeli residents and tourists “include violations of domestic law, public disturbance, disrespect towards local traditions and culture as well as recurring payment default and service-related fraud”, he added.
I had know idea historical Samarkand is now situated in the modern Nation State of Uzbekistan (a former Soviet Republic) an Islamic country. When the US and UK invaded Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 – the (58,000) British Army tended to manoeuvre around this general geographical area (the British committed an atrocity in Baku – Azerbaijan – by murdering unarmed Soviet POWs). So ashamed was the British Nation after this shameful event – no regiment in the British Army claim these actions as “battle honours”. The US tried to extend WWI to happening between 1914-1921 (these dates actually appear on some plaques) – but Great Britain refused this designation and limited WWI to “1914-1918” (although occasionally a plaque will read “1914-1919”) when the Soviet Red Army prevailed (the formation of the USSR was established in late 1922). Now, I know people from Pakistan sometimes access this blog – so I have added a few “Urdu” texts with English translation. Never stop learning.
