Shooting the Everlasting Storm | That’s Amazing
Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, is the unofficial lightning capital of the world. There, lightning strikes occur, on average, 300 days a year. When dangerous storms approach, most people flee. But 21-year-old Jonas Piontek does just the opposite. The German photographer stays put in the face of certain danger to capture amazing photographs of the electric storms.

8. Movile Cave
The Movile Cave in Romania was sealed away from the rest of the world for over 5 million years, and due to this, the atmosphere is not anything like the rest of the world. For example, the Oxygen in the atmosphere is one-third to one-half less than the base atmosphere of the planet, while also having exponentially more Carbon Dioxide.
7. The Boiling River
Thanks to explorer Andres Ruzo, we now know that there is a river in the Amazon Rainforest that is quite literally boiling.
It's called The Shanay-Timpishka, and has been known to the native people of Peru (called the Asháninka) who live in the forest near it for quite some time.
6. Gruner See
In Austria, there is a lake called Gruner See (also known as Green Lake) that takes the concept of rising and falling waters of the area to a different extreme. Mainly, during the Summer, Fall, and Winter, the lake stands at a very basic level and allows people to enjoy the park that surrounds it. However, in the spring, the waters of the lake rise so much that the park is quite literally drowned by the waters.
5. The Petrifying Well
There are many stories in history and mythology about people or objects being petrified, or being turned into stone. But in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, there is a place that honestly does this for real. It is known as the Petrifying Well, and it's been turning things to stone ever since it was discovered many years ago, having been an attraction since 1630 in England.
4. Mariana Trench
The oceans remains mostly unexplored and the Mariana Trench even less so! Located over 36,000 feet below sea level (which makes it deeper than Mt. Everest is tall), this place is one of, if not the, deepest part of the ocean that we know about. Even though we still know so little.
That's because the deeper you go into the ocean, the more pressure that is exerted on the creatures or objects that go down that far.
3. Lake Karachay
Near the Ural mountains in central Russia stood Lake Karachay, which had the dubious honor of being a lake next to a former Soviet Union Nuclear Weapon factory. As a result of this, the Russians in 1951 felt the need to dump the nuclear waste products they were making into the lake itself. This caused the waters of the lake to become so radioactive that being near the area unprotected for an hour was fatal.
2. The Double Tree of Casorzo
In Italy, in the place of Piemonte, there is a tree that is truly unlike most trees on Earth. Because at first glance, you would believe that it is one rather exotically shaped tree, but rather, it's two trees in one. For this tree is both a Cherry Tree and a Mulberry Tree.
1. Beacon of Maracaibo
When there is a storm, there is often lightning, but in Venezuela, there is lightning that virtually never stops. This is known as the Beacon of Maracaibo. Specifically, this happens every night in Western Venezuela over the Catatumbo River. Starting at around 7:00 pm, lightning will start to strike the river, and it won't stop for the next ten hours. This storm happens between 140-260 days of the year, and can strike around 280 times per hour.
Central African Republic: The way of the warlord

FRANCE 24 live news stream: all the latest news 24/7
In the war-torn Central African Republic, former rebels who mounted a coup in 2013 are now dreaming of independence. FRANCE 24’s reporters James André and Anthony Fouchard went to meet one of the most powerful armed groups in the country, in the capital of their parallel state in the north.
Since gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic has never truly experienced peace. In March 2013, a coalition of rebel groups called the Seleka seized power in country’s fifth coup d'état. Leaders on all sides exploited religious tensions for political ends and the country descended into violence. The Seleka, led by Michel Djotodia, was forced to give up power after nine months, completely unable to restore security. Under UN auspices, France deployed more than 2,000 soldiers to restore a fragile peace and avoid what it called a “genocide.
But President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, who was elected in March 2016, has still not managed to bring calm to a country devastated by civil war. On the contrary: violence actually resumed in the capital Bangui in April 2018.
►► On France24.com: Central African Republic's president Touadéra slams 'enemies of the peace'
Since being routed, the rebels have been divided and fragmented, but have maintained their ability to cause trouble. The Popular Front for the Renaissance of the Central African Republic (known by its French acronym FPRC) is one of the most powerful armed groups. Abdoulaye Hissène, the FPRC’s military leader, is based in the northeastern town of Ndélé, but is massing his troops at the gates of Bangui.
Towards a partition of the country?
Although the prospect of a fresh coup seems unlikely, everyone is wondering about a possible partition of the country. The rebels prefer to talk about federalism and autonomy. Although they control all the main roads, provide security and even levy taxes, they do not want to create the impression of cutting ties with the central government, which does not consider the north a priority. The FPRC now wants to improve its image, severely tarnished after the violence of 2013.
The rebels are literally sitting on a gold and diamond mine, the northeast being rich in natural resources. This is attracting Russian private security companies, officially invited by the central government to train army recruits. The climate is tense, but in the meantime, Abdoulaye Hissène knows very well that the weak army cannot dislodge him.
My men are in Bangui, they are just waiting for the political green light, he says. Whether he’s bluffing or not, guns speak louder than words and appear to be the main negotiating method in this region.

General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge
At the Western Venezuelan end, there is Maracaibo capital of the Zulia State, second only to Caracas and one of the country's top oil centres. It is on the coast of the lake named after the city and discovered on August 24th 1499, by Alonso de Ojeda a sailor of Columbus' crew in his second trip to America
Pirates and Hold-ups: Crime Strikes Venezuela's Oil Industry
When night falls over western Venezuela, armed gangs known as pirates sometimes ride boats into muggy Lake Maracaibo to steal equipment from oil wells.
In the country's Paraguana peninsula, opposite the Caribbean island of Aruba, slum dwellers at times break through a perimeter wall into Venezuela's biggest refinery and rob machinery, construction tools, and cables to sell as scrap.
On the other side of the OPEC country in Monagas state, around 26,000 potential barrels were lost in March during a shutdown after state oil company employees and contractors stole copper cables and caused a tank to overflow.
Venezuela's national crime pandemic - the United Nations says the country has the world's second-highest murder rate after Honduras - is a growing headache for the oil industry, which accounts for nearly all of the country's export revenues.
Hold-ups and thefts in the sector are on the rise, taking a toll on output, according to interviews with around 40 people, including oil workers, union leaders, foreign executives, opposition politicians, scrap dealers, and people who live near oil installations.
Shortages of spare parts or the prospect of further theft stymie replacements of the stolen items, forcing some wells to function at partial capacity or at times even shut down, the people said.
The scrap seekers are uncontrollable, said National Guard Lieutenant Lenin Osuna, who helps oversee security at the northern Paraguana's 645,000 barrel-per-day Amuay refinery where, he added, 20-30 people sometimes sneak in at once.
Any day now they could commit irreparable harm to the refinery, added Osuna, speaking in a barracks next to Amuay as he leafed through a thick folder documenting criminal incidents.
Evidence of the rising crime threat to the oil industry is chiefly anecdotal due to a dearth of data and publicly disclosed cases, which the sources chiefly attributed to fears of retribution from perpetrators and a climate of impunity.
The Oil Ministry's 2014 annual report acknowledged the problem but did not provide details.
A high frequency of events linked to insecurity in oil fields has affected operational continuity in generation and maintenance due to theft and loss of components of equipment, materials and consumer goods, it read.
The ministry and state oil company PDVSA did not respond to detailed requests for further information.
Gangs, including those that have for years prowled the waters of Lake Maracaibo, are lured by the oil sector's valuable infrastructure as Venezuela's economic crisis turns tools, computers and machinery into rare and coveted goods.
Some workers, foreign executives and opposition politicians allege this trend has been exacerbated by lax oversight that has allowed crime groups to form within PDVSA's workforce of around 152,000.
Workers recruited to be drillers end up as bandits who kill, rob, and hold up their colleagues or steal equipment, said Americo De Grazia, an opposition legislator on the National Assembly's commission on energy and petrol who is in touch with oil workers and union bosses.
They're turning the oil industry into a no man's land where no one can instill order, said De Grazia, adding his attempts to debate the issue have been rebuffed in parliament.

STORYLINE:
The Drakes Bay Oyster Company, one of California's largest oyster farms, stopped harvesting its shellfish after gobs of oil were found near its location in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
A cargo ship that struck a bridge last week caused San Francisco Bay's worst oil spill in nearly two decades.
The crash left a gash nearly 100 feet (30 metres) long on the side of the 926-foot (282-meter) vessel and ruptured two of the vessel's fuel tanks, causing heavy bunker fuel to leak into the bay.
The all-Chinese crew of the cargo ship were being held for questioning as part of a criminal investigation, a US Coast Guard official said.
More than 12,000 gallons (45,425 litres) of oil had been recovered by Monday, but much never will be, the Coast Guard said.
Some will evaporate or dissipate and be absorbed into the environment.
The spill has had a devastating impact on not just the wildlife in the bay, but also the industry it helps to support.
The spill has spurred about 65 Bay Area crab fisherman to vote to ask California Governor Schwarzenegger to officially close the commercial and sport crabbing seasons.
Schwarzenegger has called a state of emergency to help contain an oil spill that is threatening the northern coast of the state.
The governor has asked that all available resources be deployed to tackle the 58,000 gallon (228,000 litre) spill, which is threatening wildlife and beaches.
Officials said the crab season was being postponed indefinitely. They worry that the crabs may be contaminated by the oil.
Michael Guardino, manager at the Crab Shack, told AP Television: I don't want any of my customers effected by it as far as contamination or anything like that. But the fishermen are very smart. They know what to do and I think they're going to hold off and wait until the mess is cleaned up.
Restaurants are shipping in crabs from Oregon and elsewhere, but local fishermen are losing money.
Meanwhile wildlife officials continued with efforts to rescue seabirds affected by the spill.

VENEZUELA - WikiVidi Documentary
Venezuela , officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela , is a federal republic on the northern coast of South America, bordered by Colombia on the west, Brazil on the south, Guyana on the east, the Dutch Lesser Antilles to the north and Trinidad and Tobago to the north-east. Venezuela covers 916445 sqkm and has over million people. The country has extremely high biodiversity and is ranked 7th in the world's list of nations with the most number of species. There are habitats ranging from the Andes Mountains in the west to the Amazon Basin rain-forest in the south via extensive llanos plains, the Caribbean coast and the Orinoco River Delta in the east. The territory now known as Venezuela was colonized by Spain in 1522 amid resistance from indigenous peoples. In 1811, it became one of the first Spanish-American territories to declare independence which was not securely established until 1821, when Venezuela was a department of the federal republic of Gran Colombia. It gained fu...

Corrida de toros, Maracay, Venezuela HD sound 4kuba - fall off HD
Bullfighting (Spanish: corrida de toros [koˈriða ðe ˈtoɾos] or toreo [toˈɾeo]; Portuguese: tourada [toˈɾaðɐ]), also known as tauromachia or tauromachy (Spanish: tauromaquia About this sound listen (help·info), Portuguese: tauromaquia; from Greek: ταυρομαχία bull-fight),[1] is a traditional spectacle of Spain, Portugal, southern France and some Hispanic American countries (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru),[2] in which one or more bulls are fought in a bullring. Although a blood sport, by definition, some followers of the spectacle prefer to view it as a 'fine art' and not a sport,[3] as there are no elements of competition in the proceedings. In Portugal, it is illegal to kill a bull in the arena, so it is removed and either professionally killed or treated and released into its owners' (ganadero) fields.
The bullfight, as it is practiced today, involves professional toreros (of which the most senior is called a matador) who execute various formal moves which can be interpreted and innovated according to the bullfighter's style or school. It has been alleged that toreros seek to elicit inspiration and art from their work and an emotional connection with the crowd transmitted through the bull. Such maneuvers are performed at close range, after the bull has first been weakened and tired by lances and short spears with barbs which are thrust into and then hang from the bull. The close proximity places the bullfighter at some risk of being gored or trampled by the weakened bull. After the bull has been hooked multiple times behind the shoulder by other matadors in the arena, the bullfight usually concludes with the killing of the bull by a single sword thrust, which is called the estocada. In Portugal, the finale consists of a tradition called the pega, where men (forcados) try to grab and hold the bull by its horns when it runs at them.
Supporters of bullfighting argue that it is a culturally important tradition and a fully developed art form on par with painting, dancing and music, whereas critics hold that it is a blood sport perpetrated as a cowardly act resulting in the suffering of bulls and horses.
There are many historic fighting venues in the Iberian Peninsula, France and Hispanic America. The largest venue of its kind is the Plaza México in central Mexico City, which seats 48,000 people,[4] and the oldest is the La Maestranza in Seville, Spain, which was first used for bullfighting in 1765.[5]
Forms of non-lethal bullfighting also appear outside the Iberian and Francophone world, including the Tamil Nadu practise of jallikattu; and the Portuguese-influenced mchezo wa ngombe (Kiswahili for sport with bull) is also practiced on the Tanzanian islands of Pemba and Zanzibar. Types of bullfighting which involve bulls fighting other bulls, rather than humans, are found in the Balkans, Turkey, the Persian Gulf, Bangladesh, Japan, Peru and Korea. In many parts of the Western United States, various rodeo events like calf roping and bull riding were influenced by the Spanish bullfighting.

এই ৭টি ঘটনার কারণ বিজ্ঞান এখনো বলতে পারেনি । 7 Natural Phenomena That Science Can’t Explain
এই ৭টি প্রাকৃতিক ঘটনার কারণ বিজ্ঞান এখনো বলতে পারেনি ।7 Natural Phenomena That Science Can’t Explain
Have you ever heard about something that is unexplained? There are a lot of bizarre things in the world such as animals raining from the sky, or weird unexplained heat anomalies found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. Sometimes the answer is found, and sometimes these things remain a mystery that science cannot explain. Check out these 7 Natural Phenomena that Science Can’t Explain.
1. Devil's Kettle :If you’ve ever worried that we’ve solved all the mysteries of nature, fear not. Minnesota’s Devil’s Kettle Falls has been puzzling hikers and geologists for generations. At the falls, along Lake Superior’s north shore, a river forks at a rock outcropping. While one side tumbles down a two-step stone embankment and continues on like a normal waterfall, the other side vanishes into a deep and disappears — apparently forever.
2. Hessdalen lights : The Hessdalen lights are of unknown origin. They appear both by day and by night, and seem to float through and above the valley. They are usually bright white, yellow, or red and can appear above and below the horizon. Duration of the phenomenon may be a few seconds to well over an hour. Sometimes the lights move with enormous speed; at other times they seem to sway slowly back and forth. On yet other occasions, they hover in mid‑air.
3. Lake Karachay : The name karachay means black water or black sea in several Northwestern Turkic languages, including Tatar. Built in total secrecy between 1945 and 1948, the Mayak plant was the first reactor used to create plutonium for the Soviet atomic bomb project. In accordance with Stalinist procedure and supervised by NKVD Chief Lavrenti Beria, it was the utmost priority to produce enough weapons-grade material to match the U.S. nuclear superiority following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Little to no consideration was paid to worker safety or responsible disposal of waste materials, and the reactors all were optimized for plutonium production, producing many tons of contaminated materials and utilizing open-cycle cooling systems which directly contaminated every liter of the thousands of liters of cooling water the reactors used every day.
4. Fairy circle : Fairy circles are circular patches of land barren of plants, varying between 2 and 15 metres (7 and 49 ft) in diameter, often encircled by a ring of stimulated growth of grass. Until 2014, the phenomenon was only known to occur in the arid grasslands of the Namib desert in western parts of Southern Africa, being particularly common in Namibia. In that year, ecologists were alerted to similar rings of vegetation outside of Africa, in a part of the Pilbara in Western Australia.
5. The Taos Hum : Taos is a small town in north-central New Mexico. To a passerby, it might not seem all that different from any other quiet American town. Listen carefully though, and you may find that Taos isn’t so quiet after all. Since the early 1990s, some residents and visitors of Taos have reported hearing a constant low-frequency buzzing or rumbling noise. We present to you the Taos Hum.
6. Catatumbo lightning : Catatumbo lightning (Spanish: Relámpago del Catatumbo)[1] is an atmospheric phenomenon in Venezuela. It occurs only[citation needed] over the mouth of the Catatumbo River where it empties into Lake Maracaibo.
It originates from a mass of storm clouds at a height of more than 1 km, and occurs during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day and up to 280 times per hour. It occurs over and around Lake Maracaibo, typically over the bog area formed where the Catatumbo River flows into the lake.
7. The Boiling River : I first heard the story of the Boiling River as a boy in Lima from my grandfather as part of a legend of a lost city of gold in the Amazon. Much later, when I was working on my PhD in geophysics, I started looking at this detail from a scientific viewpoint. The focus of my dissertation was to create the first detailed heat flow map of Peru in order to identify areas of potential geothermal energy.

SUMMARY
=======
Catatumbo lightning (Spanish: Relámpago del Catatumbo) is an atmospheric phenomenon in Venezuela. It occurs only over the mouth of the Catatumbo River where it empties into Lake Maracaibo.
It originates from a mass of storm clouds at a height of more than 1 km, and occurs during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day and up to 280 times per hour. It occurs over and around Lake Maracaibo, typically over the bog area formed where the Catatumbo River flows into the lake.Catatumbo lightning changes its frequency throughout the year, and it is different from year to year. For example, it ceased from January to March 2010, apparently due to drought, temporarily raising fears that it might have been extinguished permanently.
