No rain in the forecast today in B.C.’s fire zone

There is some good and bad news in the forecast for the southern and central interior.
Global News meteorologist Mark Madryga says the winds should not be bad for the first few days of this week.
“Well, the gusty winds in the B.C. interior on the weekend, especially Saturday/Saturday night, that’s pretty much settled right down now,” he said.
“The next three days, right through Wednesday will have lots of sun, of course a lot of smoke, and just a little breeze in the afternoons. Thursday though the weather changes again, at least briefly. Showers, that’s the good news as well but also a risk of lightning on Thursday and windy.”
To date, just under 37,000 British Columbians have been evacuated because of the wildfires, and another 20,000 are under Evacuation Alerts.

Two hundred aircraft and 2,900 firefighters are battling the 160 fires now burning in the province, 15 of which pose a threat to nearby communities.

US slaps new economic sanctions on Iran over ballistic missile program

ছবি
  The Trump administration on Tuesday unveiled new economic sanctions against Iran over its ballistic missile program and for contributing to regional tensions, one day after warning Tehran that it was not following the spirit of its nuclear agreement with world powers. The   US Department of Treasury , in a statement, said it was targeting 16 entities and individuals for supporting what is said was "illicit Iranian actors or transnational criminal activity." Those sanctioned had backed Iran's military or Iran's   Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps   (IRGC) by developing drones and military equipment, producing and maintaining boats, and procuring electronic components, the U.S. said.

The Sundarbans provides a unique ecosystem and a rich wildlife habitat. According to the 2015 tiger census in Bangladesh, and the 2011 tiger census in India, the Sundarbans have about 180 tigers (106 in Bangladesh and 74 in India). Earlier estimates, based on counting unique  pugmarks , were much higher. The more recent counts have used  camera traps , an improved methodology that yields more accurate results. [22] [23] [24]  Tiger attacks are frequent in the Sundarbans. Between 0 and 50 people are killed each year. There is much more wildlife here than just the endangered  Bengal tiger  ( Panthera tigris tigris ). Most importantly, mangroves are a transition from the marine to freshwater and terrestrial systems, and provide critical habitat for numerous species of small fish, crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans that adapt to feed and shelter, and reproduce among the tangled mass of roots, known as  pneumatophores , which grow upward from the anaer...

THE TAJ MAHAL

ছবি
Commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the remains of his cherished wife, the Taj Mahal stands on the southern bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. The famed mausoleum complex, built over more than 20 years, is one of the most outstanding examples of Mughal architecture, which combined Indian, Persian and Islamic influences. At its center is the Taj Mahal itself, built of shimmering white marble that seems to change color depending on the sunlight or moonlight hitting its surface. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, it remains one of the world’s most celebrated structures and a stunning symbol of India’s rich history. TAJ MAHAL: SHAH JAHAN’S ROMANTIC GESTURE Shah Jahan was a member of the Mughal dynasty that ruled most of northern India from the early 16th to the mid 18th-century. After the death of his father, King Jahangir, in 1627, Shah Jahan emerged the victor of a bitter power struggle with his brothers, and crowned himself empero...
