  • EXCLUSIVE: Indian doctors have saved the life of a 21-year-old man who fell off an under construction building and got himself impaled on iron rods that pierced though his chest that miraculously missed his heart but puncturing the liver. The incident happened on January 12 around 7pm when Rajendra Pal, a construction worker from West Bengal, slipped and fell off the roof of a building at a construction site in Nariman Point, Mumbai. Fortunately, Pal did not suffer any fatal injuries as the rods did not puncture most of his vital organs. Hearing the loud thud and the cries of Pal, his fellow workers rushed to the spot. They soon informed the police and fire brigade about the accident. The rescue time arrived at short notice, cut the rods off the pillar and managed to rush him to the state-run GT hospital. According to the hospital authorities, the rods had caused penetrating trauma to chest and abdomen, patient was rescued by fire brigade after cutting the 12mm construction iron rods. Dr Jitendra Sankpal, senior surgeon at GT hospital, said: "The patient was conscious when he was brought to the hospital. Two 5-ft-long iron rods pierced his abdomen and chest. However, the man was lucky as the rods did not puncture his lungs or other vital organs. When the patient was brought in, his condition was critical. On inspection, we discovered there were two 12mm iron rods, each 75cm long had penetrated through his chest and upper abdomen. According to the doctors, the first one had entered from right anterior axillary line subcutaneously to the upper side of left chest. Clothes were stuck inside the entry point of rod. The second rod had penetrated from right posterior axillary line through seventh intercostal space to epigastric region. “It was a very difficult operation.

  • zReportage.com Story of the Week # 633 - Trapped In Isolation - Launched June 9, 2017 - Full multimedia experience: audio, stills, text and or video: Go to zReportage.com to see more - Nestled in remote hills 1,300 feet above the Big Sur, California coastline, the New Camaldoli Hermitage has been a popular retreat for world-weary visitors in need of solitude since it was founded in 1958. That changed in early 2017 after a series of powerful winter storms called "atmospheric rivers" - which climate scientists predict will worsen if climate change accelerates - dumped over 100 inches of rain on coastal California, stirring up landslides and damaging bridges along the famous Highway 1. One especially massive slide on May 21st added 13 acres of land to the California coastline and is expected to keep the southern route closed for at least one year. Now cut off from the outside world, a small handful of monks and staff persist at the Hermitage, carrying on in their austere lifestyles devoted to prayer and contemplation while depending on regular food drops from helicopters and rationed propane. The monastery has been unable to receive the stream of visitors they normally depend on for income and have started a GoFundMe to help raise money to survive. The damage has cost the monastery an estimated $300,000 since hospitality is their main source of income. (Credit Image: ? Elijah Hurwitz/zReportage.com via ZUMA Wire)

  • Tiger Woods’ smashed up car is seen here in images released by police from the golfer’s DUI arrest earlier this week. The photos, released on May 31, show the sportsman’s 2015 Mercedes Benz in a bad state - with two flat tires and cracking around the front bumper on the driver’s side. According to the report by Jupiter Police, Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his car and was on four prescription drugs when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in the early hours of May 29 in Jupiter, Florida. He tested negative for alcohol. Elsewhere in the report it notes that Woods had 'extremely slow and slurred speech’ and did not know where he was before taking the field tests. The golfer undertook four sobriety tests. After being asked to recite the alphabet backwards, he instead offered to recite the National Anthem backwards instead. During the Walk & Turn test the sportsman “could not maintain starting position… missed heel to toe each time… stepped off the line several times… used arms for balance,” according to the arresting officer’s report. He was also unable to perform the One Leg Stand, requiring him to lift one leg off the ground six inches, placing his foot down “several times” while trying to complete the task. Woods was also seemingly confused by the Finger To Nose test, and was unable to complete the task as asked, the report notes. Woods released a statement later on May 29 in which he apologized. He insisted he hadn’t taken alcohol but had suffered a reaction to prescription medication. 31 May 2017 Pictured: Tiger Woods 2015 Mercedes Benz - damage to car photographed after DUI arrest.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A rescued pair of twin bear sisters forced to perform in a circus all their lives have experienced a freedom for the first time in 24 YEARS. Dasha and Katia were just weeks old when they were taken from their mother and sold to a circus in Ukraine. Since then all the sisters have known is training and performing up to three shows a day. When not doing tricks like riding bicycles and jumping through hoops for a paying audience, the 400lb plus animals were kept in tiny 1.5m cages. They were behind bars just inches from one another but could never touch. But now after a quarter of a century in captivity the two bears can sleep under the stars for the first time in the stunning forest-filled Libearty (correct spelling) Bear Sanctuary, in Zarnesti, Romania. Heart-warming footage and photos taken this week show the animals rolling around in the grass with joy and being able to nuzzle and bear hug one another for the first time. The bears arrival in Romania was only made possible thanks to Lionel De Lange, from the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO) Ukraine, and Chantal Jonkergouw and Carolyn Green, from SOS Zoo and Bear Rescue. Lionel and Chantal and their supporters raised £14,000, including donations from the UK, to rescue the animals in March and then transport, medically check and care for the them before they were released on Wednesday. Lionel de Lange, from LAEO Ukraine, said the sisters, who were originally known as Masha and Lora, had proper contact with each other for the first time. He said: “This was one the most emotional rescues we’ve done, if you can imagine it’s 24 years of these bears never having proper contact with each other, they were always in separate cages. “And when they were close to each other in the cages they had aggression, not with each other but with bars between them. They always seemed angry at one another. “But then when they let them out at Libearty they had a snuggle and a cuddle and it was just amazing to

  • The Taklimakan desert is one of the driest, most barren expanses on Earth. Flanked by mountain ranges on three sides and parched by the resulting rain shadow, parts of the Tarim Basin receive no more than 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) of rain per year. It is no surprise that plant life is scarce. With little vegetation to hold sand in place, some 85 percent of the Taklimakan consists of shifting sand dunes. Only the dune fields of Saudi Arabia's Rub' al Khali cover a larger area. Taklimakan's dunes can soar up 200 to 300 meters (650 to 900 feet).<br />
With so much sand and so little vegetation or moisture, dust storms are a regular occurrence, particularly in the spring. On May 1, 2016, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this natural-color image of northeasterly winds pushing a wall of dust southwest across the Tarim Basin.<br />
The Tarim Basin is bordered by the Kunlun Shan mountains to the south and the Tian Shan mountains to the north. (The Tian Shan is covered with snow and partly obscured by clouds in this image.) The basin opens up on its eastern edge, but that is not generally a way out for dust. Prevailing low-altitude winds almost always blow from the east, keeping most dust below 5 kilometers (3 miles) - about the height of the mountain ranges - and trapped within the basin. In spring, strong surface winds can sometimes lift dust up to 10 kilometers (6 miles). These particles can then be transported by higher-altitude winds that send them across China and the Pacific. In this case, however, the dust appears to be relatively low in the atmosphere.<br />
Dust storms can lead to public health problems in populated areas downwind by transporting small particles, bacteria, and viruses that infiltrate human respiratory systems. Dust storms also affect Earth's climate by scattering and absorbing incoming solar radiation and changing the properties of clouds.<br />

Zachariæ Isstrøm has become the latest Greenland glacier to undergo rapid changes in a warming world. Research published November 2015 in Science found that Zachariæ Isstrøm broke loose from a stable position in 2012 and entered a phase of accelerated retreat.<br />
The consequences will be felt for decades to come. The reason? Zachariæ Isstrøm is big. It drains ice from a 91,780 square kilometer (35,440 square mile) area of northeast Greenland. That's about 5 percent of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The glacier holds enough water to raise global sea level by more than 46 centimeters (18 inches) if it were to melt completely. It is already shedding billions of tons of ice into the far North Atlantic each year.<br />
"North Greenland glaciers are changing rapidly," said lead author Jeremie Mouginot of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). "The shape and dynamics of Zachariæ Isstrøm have changed dramatically over the last few years. The glacier is now breaking up and calving high volumes of icebergs into the ocean, which will result in rising sea levels for decades to come."<br />
The change is apparent in the images above. The top image was acquired by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) on Landsat 7 on August 5, 1999, when the glacier was stable. The second image was acquired on August 2, 2015, with the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. The second image shows how the ice shelf and glacier have melted and retreated substantially. Turn on the image comparison tool to see the difference.<br />
As of 2015, the glacier is losing 5 billion tons of ice every year. The time-lapse animation above shows the glacier's retreat during the 2015 melt season. The animation is composed of 26 natural-color images acquired by Landsat 8 from May 19 through October 1, 2015.<br />
