Zelená síť: "Vzhledem k velké vodě asi teď nikoho moc nepálí, co se děje v Amazonii, každopádně budeme rádi za každé sdílení následující zprávy: Pět indiánských kmenů již od 27. května "okupuje" stavbu elektrárny Belo Monte se zoufalou žádostí o zastavení multimilionového projektu, který může trvale ohrozit velmi citlivý amazonský ekosystém. Nejste sami, kdo si u toho vzpomene na film Avatar, ale bez podpory a tlaku veřejnosti a médií tu nebude žádný happy end "

This photo shows two power linemen, Randall Champion and J. D. Thompson, at the top of a utility pole. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the high voltage lines at the very top. These are the lines that can be heard “singing” with electricity. Over 4000 volts entered Champion’s body and instantly stopped his heart (an electric chair uses about 2000 volts).



His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion’s lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder. Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived, eventually making a full recovery.

V jedné čínské ZOO se chovatelé stáli svědky nevídaného: potom co rutinně vpustili k hadovi dvě bílé myšky a had zaútočil na tu první z nich, ta druhá se napříč všem přírodním zákonitostem vzepřela osudu a hada napadla, ve snaze vyprostit první myš z jeho sevření. Běžně se druhá myš schová a snaží se nijak neprojevovat v marné naději, že si jí dravec potom nenajde. Tento chlupatý hrdina se však snažil vyprostit svého kamaráda z tlamy hada ještě dlouho poté, co první myš zahynula. Dovedl tak natolik ohromit čínské chovatelé, že se mu rozhodli darovat život a celý jeho skromný příběh již několik dní koluje světem.

French artist Olivier Grossetête used three enormous helium balloons to float a rope bridge over a lake in Tatton Park, a historic estate in north-west England. Though visitors weren’t allowed to use the bridge, it would theoretically be strong enough to hold the weight of a person, according to Grossetête.“My artistic work tries to make alive the poetry and dreams within our everyday life,” added Grossetête.

During a religious festival in Ajmer (India), on the last weekend, believers of Sufism, mystical Islamic sect, participated in a ritual of self-flagellation, sticking knives and other sharp metal objects in the eye.

Thousands of devotees from different parts of India participated in the procession, which marks the death anniversary of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, known as the Benefactor of the Poor.

Something’s up in Provo, Utah and it weighs around seven million pounds. It’s the 112-year-old exterior of the Provo Tabernacle that was severely damaged in a 2010 fire but has since been saved by the LDS church so it can be converted into a temple. Engineers first gutted the damaged interior and then supported the exterior walls with special scaffolding as they dug down to create space for a two story basement, so in actuality the building hasn’t even moved. The entire structure is now on stilts some 40 feet in the air and from some angles appears to be floating above ground, such as in the first photograph above provided by Brian Hansen
