  • June 4, 2017 - Dhaka, Bangladesh - Bangladeshi weaver weaves Benarasi sari (Woman Wear) on a traditional wooden hand weaving loom at Mirpur in Dhaka, Bangladesh. On June 05, 2017.Benarasi Sari has an ancient history beginning from the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. It is known that it originated from Benaras, a northern city of India. Benarasi Sari found its way to Bangladesh, when the Muslims migrated from Benaras into Bangladesh. It was these migrants that started the practice of making Benarasi Sari at Mohammadpur and Mirpur in Dhaka.The texture of a Benarasi fabric can be either light or heavy. The silk is first put into rollers that twist a single silk thread with another to thicken its texture. This is then heated and put into a Tana where it is made into a bundle. The threads are then dyed elsewhere. The threads are stretched out in a single room made of rusted tin and worn out bamboo with barely any ventilation or lighting. In another similar room, a weaver weaves the designs on a sari. A single Benarasi Sari that is 21 feet in length and 3.5 feet in breadth can take a week or longer to be completed.

  • By Sanjay Pandey in India for MailOnline This 40-year-old gritty man not only survived 12 hours with a 5ft long and tree branch lodged in his neck and head, but also managed to travel 60km with the (wood) staff to a private hospital in Bangalore, India. Farm labourer Nanjesha HN, who hails from Amruthur in Tumkur district of south Indian state of Karnataka, had met with a road accident and got himself impaled on the branch (3cm in diameter) on December 22. The staff pierced through his neck - entering from the left of the neck and exiting on the right side behind the ear. A team of doctors from Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur, successfully removed the branch and saved his life. Four months on, the patient has recovered well and is able to narrate his own story. “On December 22, I was riding a two-wheeler from my house and was heading toward Kunigal to attend the funeral of a relative. I veered to my left to avoid an oncoming truck. But I lost my balance and impaled myself on a dried up branch lying on the ground,” said Nanjesha, still struggling to speak clearly. “It pierced through my neck and emerged on the other side from behind my ear. I was bleeding profusely and had to keep my mouth wide open, gasping for breath. At that time, I didn’t know whether I would live to see the next morning. But I never gave up and kept fighting for survival,” he added. Luckily for Nanjesha, a passersby spotted him and called an ambulance. Though the vehicle reached in 20 minutes and he was taken to the nearby Kunigal government hospital, the doctors refused to take his case. “The doctor didn’t even touch me. I was still on the ambulance, so they decided to take me to another nearby hospital in Belluru Cross,” Nanjesha recalled. From there, he was taken to a private medical college where doctors administered first aid. Since the patient’s airways were obstructed, the doctors had to do a tracheostomy near his throat to provide an air passage to help him breathe. “I w

  • EXCLUSIVE: An Australian man has created his own Outback outpost 11,000 miles from home on the Shetland Islands – and he even has WALLABIES. Tasmanian Dave Kok, 42, has built his own Aussie oasis on the Scottish archipelago after deciding to settle there when he was travelling Europe. Now Dave lives with his Shetland native wife Louise, 38, and two daughters Caitlin, 11, and Ruby, aged four. Social care worker Dave came to the islands in the late 90s and since 2016 has been building his own watering hole choc-full of Australiana on the island of Burra. Dave’s place ‘The Outpost’ is a renovated wooden porta cabin filled with Tasmanian beers, Tim Tams, books on bush craft and Aussie Rules sporting memorabilia. Locals use the Outpost as their local bar and meeting place, as the nearest pub or café is three bridges and three islands away. And visitors can now enjoy the Outpost’s wallabies Ned and Kelly who David brought to the island this winter. Based on the Shetland Islands latitude the marsupials could be the most northerly of their species anywhere on the planet. Dave said visiting Australians are often surprised to find the antipodean paradise in such a remote location. 16 Feb 2018 Pictured: Pic from Dave Donaldson/ Magnus News Agency.

  • By Sanjay Pandey in India for MailOnline This 40-year-old gritty man not only survived 12 hours with a 5ft long and tree branch lodged in his neck and head, but also managed to travel 60km with the (wood) staff to a private hospital in Bangalore, India. Farm labourer Nanjesha HN, who hails from Amruthur in Tumkur district of south Indian state of Karnataka, had met with a road accident and got himself impaled on the branch (3cm in diameter) on December 22. The staff pierced through his neck - entering from the left of the neck and exiting on the right side behind the ear. A team of doctors from Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur, successfully removed the branch and saved his life. Four months on, the patient has recovered well and is able to narrate his own story. “On December 22, I was riding a two-wheeler from my house and was heading toward Kunigal to attend the funeral of a relative. I veered to my left to avoid an oncoming truck. But I lost my balance and impaled myself on a dried up branch lying on the ground,” said Nanjesha, still struggling to speak clearly. “It pierced through my neck and emerged on the other side from behind my ear. I was bleeding profusely and had to keep my mouth wide open, gasping for breath. At that time, I didn’t know whether I would live to see the next morning. But I never gave up and kept fighting for survival,” he added. Luckily for Nanjesha, a passersby spotted him and called an ambulance. Though the vehicle reached in 20 minutes and he was taken to the nearby Kunigal government hospital, the doctors refused to take his case. “The doctor didn’t even touch me. I was still on the ambulance, so they decided to take me to another nearby hospital in Belluru Cross,” Nanjesha recalled. From there, he was taken to a private medical college where doctors administered first aid. Since the patient’s airways were obstructed, the doctors had to do a tracheostomy near his throat to provide an air passage to help him breathe. “I w

  • He's nailed it. String artist Ben Koracevic creates these incredible works of art - using just cord and nails. The London-based creative winds thousands of metres of string around tens of thousands of nails to create what he calls 'stringometry'. Among his works are a huge portrait of Hollywood star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Keanu Reeves as his John Wick action hero character. He has also created a likeness of Batman baddie The Joker - as played by Joaquin Phoenix in 2019 movie, Joker, as well as animals including a lion and monkeys and guitarist Slash from Guns N' Roses. He only started doing 'string art' nine months ago after watching a video of someone else showing off their skills. "I was completed fascinated with the rare art form," he said. "Developing my skill and ability to replicate what I witnessed became an obsession and I soon found every spare hour being invested into practising." The self-taught artist - who holds a science degree - has since quit his job and cashed in his life savings to follow his dream. He added: "I am quite particular on the pieces I choose. "It is just an instinct where I know the image will look good in string. "It is a very time consuming process which is a quality I enjoy. I love the mental endurance and patience needed to complete a piece to high quality. "Art is a universal language where the work does all the talking!" Ben uses a grid system overlapping a photo or sketch. He then upscales that on to a wooden canvas, before "meticulously referencing" nails to mark a foundation and an outline for the string. He winds the string between the nails to create a likeness, using more string to create darker shadows and more detail. He has used between 6,000 and 30,000 nails on individual pieces - and some contain more than 3,000 metres of string. And he can spend as much as 500 hours alone creating one piece. His works are available to buy at stringometry.com and he is available for private commissions. Please credit Courtesy of

"It is just an instinct where I know the image will look good in string. "It is a very time consuming process which is a quality I enjoy. I love the mental endurance and patience needed to complete a piece to high quality. "Art is a universal language where the work does all the talking!" Ben uses a grid system overlapping a photo or sketch. He then upscales that on to a wooden canvas, before "meticulously referencing" nails to mark a foundation and an outline for the string. He winds the string between the nails to create a likeness, using more string to create darker shadows and more detail. He has used between 6,000 and 30,000 nails on individual pieces - and some contain more than 3,000 metres of string. And he can spend as much as 500 hours alone creating one piece.

  • He's nailed it. String artist Ben Koracevic creates these incredible works of art - using just cord and nails. The London-based creative winds thousands of metres of string around tens of thousands of nails to create what he calls 'stringometry'. Among his works are a huge portrait of Hollywood star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Keanu Reeves as his John Wick action hero character. He has also created a likeness of Batman baddie The Joker - as played by Joaquin Phoenix in 2019 movie, Joker, as well as animals including a lion and monkeys and guitarist Slash from Guns N' Roses. He only started doing 'string art' nine months ago after watching a video of someone else showing off their skills. "I was completed fascinated with the rare art form," he said.

  • By Sanjay Pandey in India for MailOnline This 40-year-old gritty man not only survived 12 hours with a 5ft long and tree branch lodged in his neck and head, but also managed to travel 60km with the (wood) staff to a private hospital in Bangalore, India. Farm labourer Nanjesha HN, who hails from Amruthur in Tumkur district of south Indian state of Karnataka, had met with a road accident and got himself impaled on the branch (3cm in diameter) on December 22. The staff pierced through his neck - entering from the left of the neck and exiting on the right side behind the ear. A team of doctors from Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur, successfully removed the branch and saved his life. Four months on, the patient has recovered well and is able to narrate his own story. “On December 22, I was riding a two-wheeler from my house and was heading toward Kunigal to attend the funeral of a relative. I veered to my left to avoid an oncoming truck. But I lost my balance and impaled myself on a dried up branch lying on the ground,” said Nanjesha, still struggling to speak clearly. “It pierced through my neck and emerged on the other side from behind my ear. I was bleeding profusely and had to keep my mouth wide open, gasping for breath. At that time, I didn’t know whether I would live to see the next morning. But I never gave up and kept fighting for survival,” he added. Luckily for Nanjesha, a passersby spotted him and called an ambulance. Though the vehicle reached in 20 minutes and he was taken to the nearby Kunigal government hospital, the doctors refused to take his case. “The doctor didn’t even touch me. I was still on the ambulance, so they decided to take me to another nearby hospital in Belluru Cross,” Nanjesha recalled. From there, he was taken to a private medical college where doctors administered first aid. Since the patient’s airways were obstructed, the doctors had to do a tracheostomy near his throat to provide an air passage to help him breathe. “I w

The intricate motifs, meticulously woven by the hard-working jamdani weavers of our country, gave each sari a touch of grandeur and perfection. From the contemporary black-white and black-red combinations, to the classic black, exquisite white and other equally magnificent pieces of the favourite attire of any Bangladeshi woman, the collection was a treat for jamdani enthusiasts.

  • April 29, 2019 - Siv Kladenetc, Bulgaria - A view of destroyed and abandoned  homes in almost depopulated Bulgarian village of Siv kladenetc, located in south Bulgaria, just few hundred meters of Bulgarian - Greek border. The village was depopulated a few years ago because of socio-economic situation in the country and region then. Bulgaria has the lowest average salary in the EU - 575 Euro, the lowest wage - 260 Euro and the smallest average pension - 190 Euro. The result of that values is that more than 40 per cent of Bulgarians are at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The country is also leader in the prevalence of corruption that exhaust and discourages buisness and repels foreign investors. Over 570 Bulgarian villages have no population or less than ten inhabitants and in the 164 villages there are no inhabitants, according to the National statistical institute, as of the December 31, 2018. Because of demographic crisis over the last 17 years the closed schools are 1084. Photo by: /Impact Press Group/NurPhoto (Credit Image: © Impactpressgroup.Org/NurPhoto via ZUMA Press)
