Kazakhstan's Almaty region is covered in a thick blanket of snow and ice, but the harsh weather has not stopped thousands of people from visiting the area's 'ice volcano.' Standing 45 feet, the frozen structure formed over an underground spring that is still spouting water that almost instantly freezes and builds upon the cone design. A smaller ice volcano had formed in the area last year, but locals say the latest one is the first to continuously spray water particles from the top opening that looks like the smoke spewed from a lava-filled volcano. The continuous water has also created a natural ice rink at its base, however, during the summer this area is covered in green vegetation that is feed by the spring.  Scroll down for videos  Kazakhstan's Almaty region is covered in a thick blanket of snow and ice, but the harsh weather has not stopped thousands of people from visiting the area's 'ice volcano' 'In general, this is artesian water that gushes out of the ground.

Much of my life has been spent fighting for sexual violence to be taken seriously. So I was astonished to learn this week about an aspect of the law I knew nothing about. I've made no secret of the fact that I was raped by a much older man I thought I could trust when I was a university student, a terrifying and humiliating experience which still makes me rage with anger. In the late 1960s, it didn't occur to me to go to the police. Would they have believed me? Would they have said my skirt was too short, I'd had too much to drink, I'd led him on? I hadn't, but I became determined to do whatever I could to make things easier for other women to bring their attackers to court. Now, the case of one young woman has brought to my attention something called The Victims' Right to Review. Throughout her childhood, she and her two sisters were beaten and raped by a male relative. In 2008, her younger sister made a complaint to the police and he was questioned, but in 2010 the case was … [Read more...] about JENNI MURRAY: Attack that haunts me, and why the law still fails rape victims

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl LV victory Wednesday with a boat parade amid continued concern over the coronavirus pandemic, although neither the visibly inebriated Tom Brady nor the thousands of attendees appeared worried about being infected. Brady's maskless face turned bright red over the course of the afternoon and while the sun could be partially to blame for his complexion, his irrepressible giggling and goofy antics seemed to suggest he'd had a few drinks. At one point Brady was seen staggering off the boat while being supported by a teammate, prompting social media users to claim that he was 'hammered.' 'Noting to see her...just litTle avoCado tequila,' Brady joked in a misspelled tweet, responding to footage of his wobbly departure. The 43-year-old quarterback, who follows a strict vegan diet regimen, has previously said that he essentially only drinks alcohol to celebrate a Super Bowl win. At one point during the parade, the seven-time Super Bowl … [Read more...] about Drunk and VERY giggly Tom Brady needs help standing up as he celebrates Super Bowl win with team booze cruise on Tampa river – where he throws trophy off his boat while cheered on by thousands of maskless fans

Darlings, have you thought about what you are going to wear for the social event of the year — your Covid jab appointment? Over the past few weeks, many celebrities clearly have thought of little else. Sean Penn did it sockless, while Ian McKellen did it in a rainbow-knitted scarf. Anthony Hopkins did it in a scary mask, but sadly not his Hannibal Lecter one. Jane Fonda did it in glam retro sunglasses, Samuel L. Jackson kept his baseball cap on, Ruth Langsford was wearing a LOVE T-shirt and Dame Joan Collins did it in a floral mask to match her floral dress, saucily mentioning that she did it on the same day as the Queen. No prizes for guessing who was most regal. Dame Joan Collins was given her vaccine dose it in a floral mask to match her dress, saucily mentioning in her Instagram post (pictured) that she did it on the same day as the Queen I did it in my jeans on a wintry Saturday morning and experienced the same unexpected burst of euphoria as the stars did; the … [Read more...] about JAN MOIR: Celebrities aren’t the stars of the Vax Factor (but they’re still playing the role of a lifetime)
