The Sri Lankan leopard is a subspecies of leopards native to Sri Lanka that 
The leopard was listed as an Endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List in 2008 is also an offense to kill, trade or harm a leopard under the Wildlife Act.

The Sri  lankan  leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) has been classified as endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) and is a leopard subspecies that is native to Sri Lanka . The population of leopards which is not larger than a mere 250 animals is declining due to a number of reasons which includes poaching and also the human-leopard conflict.

HELLBLADE PATCH 1.01 RELEASED FOR PLAYSTATION 4 & PC

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
Ninja Theory is a small gaming studio that has been creating excellent action games with top-notch theatre performances. They push the limits of technology to convey the emotion they want, with games like Enslaved, Heavenly Sword and the DmC: Devil May Cry reboot. On the surface, Hellblade seems like any other action game, but the reality is that it’s much more. It’s a deeply personal exploration of the dark side of mental illness, through the eyes of Senua.

What’s it about?
This year has been shaping up to be a fantastic year for female leads in games. There’s Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn, 2B from Nier: Automata, and now you get to meet and play as Senua, the troubled protagonist of Hellblade. She’s a Celtic warrior who descends deep into the bowels of the Norse version of hell — Hel — to bring her lover back to life with her. All along the way, Senua is haunted by voices, which are her constant companions. They whisper angry thoughts, they confuse and conflict your mind, and they also guide you through the world. They are as much a protagonist of this game as Senua, in her descent into the underworld.

On Monday, August 21, total Solar eclipses

Total Solar Eclipse
On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality  can see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona  - can be seen, will stretch from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse  where the moon covers part of the sun's disk.
Who Can See It?

Lots of people! Everyone in the contiguous United States, in fact, everyone in North America plus parts of South America, Africa, and Europe will see at least a partial solar eclipse, while the thin path of totality will pass through portions of 14 states.

What is It?

This celestial event is a solar eclipse in which the moon passes between the sun and Earth and blocks all or part of the sun for up to about three hours, from beginning to end, as viewed from a given location.  For this eclipse, the longest period when the moon completely blocks the sun from any given location along the path will be about two minutes and 40 seconds.  The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979.

Mass scale floating offshore wind farm

The fifth and final wind turbine for the Hywind Scotland commercial-scale floating offshore wind farm, a joint project between Masdar and Statoil, has arrived at its final destination, Buchan Deep, 25km east of Peterhead in Scotland.

Earlier this summer, all five turbines were successfully assembled outside Stord, Norway and they have now completed their journey to Scottish waters. Each turbine took four days to be towed across the North Sea where, on arrival, work was immediately started to install anchor lines and perform hook-up operations, taking two to three days per turbine. Final installation is scheduled to be completed in the coming weeks.

Hywind Scotland, a GBP210 million project unveiled in late 2015, is a partnership between Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company and Norway-based international energy company, Statoil. Masdar announced its acquisition of a 25 per cent stake in the project during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week in January. Statoil, the project’s lead operator, owns the remaining 75 per cent.

Commenting on this milestone, Bader Al Lamki, Executive Director, Clean Energy at Masdar said: “Hywind Scotland is the world’s first project to accommodate commercial-scale wind turbines on a floating structure. It demonstrates the enormous potential for delivering offshore wind energy in waters up to 1km deep, and represents the next stage in the evolution of the offshore wind industry.

Qatar Waives Entry Visa Requirements for Citizens of 80 Countries

Number of nationalities eligible to enter visa-free highest in region

Qatar considering further enhancements to visa policy, including waiver for holders of visa/resident permit for GCC and Schengen countries, as well as UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand  

DOHA, Qatar - Qatar’s Ministry of Interior (MoI), Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and Qatar Airways today announced that Qatar will allow visa-free entry for citizens of 80 countries, effective immediately.

Citizens of those countries* wishing to visit Qatar will no longer need to apply or pay for a visa; instead, a multi-entry waiver will be issued free-of-charge at the port of entry, upon presentation of a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months and a confirmed onward or return ticket.

Depending on the nationality of the visitor, the waiver will either be valid for 180 days, from the date of issue, and allow the visitor to spend a total of 90 days in Qatar (multiple-entry waiver); or it will be valid for 30 days from the date of issue and entitle the visitor to spend up to 30 days in Qatar with the possibility of applying for an extension of the waiver for an additional 30 days (multiple-entry waiver).

These developments come as part of a series of measures that Qatar has taken to facilitate visitor access to the country. Last month, Qatar launched an e-visa platform, www.qatarvisaservice.com, through which travellers of all nationalities can apply for tourist and visitor visas with more efficiency and ease. The country is also considering further enhancements to its visa policy, such as waiving visa requirements for holders of a residence permit or a valid visa from the nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or the Schengen countries. This waiver would allow eligible visitors to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation by completing a simple online application at least 48 hours prior to travel.

The biggest creature to have ever walked the Earth.

Studies on fossils from the dinosaur Patagotitan mayorum show that it weighed around 62 tonnes, and measured more than 35 metres from nose to tail.

The titanosaur lived 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period and was a sauropod – a huge plant-eater with a long tail and neck that stood on four legs.

Vertebrae and rib bones were among the incredible finds recovered from the quarry at La Flecha ranch, Chubut Province in Argentina, in 2013.

Scientists now think the fossils belonged to at least six different individuals that died in a floodplain region, before being preserved in mud.

NASA: Applications are called for the post of Earth Protector Officer.

Looks like a joke, but sometime we'll have to think about these things in the future.
99% of people in the world think that this is not the case.
But the true intellectuals study the processes of the advanced systems of the universe.
Their goal is to prevent the destruction of the Earth by people.
People in a future day will have to face the advent of highly-developed organisms living in the universe to prevent the destruction of the environment by humans.
The intellectuals, with this knowledge may be looking for a security officer to minimize this situation.
Abi
An amazing vacancy was opened on the official website of USA Jobs. NASA is looking for a planetary security officer to work permanently.

What is this post, and what will this person do?

According to the description on the website, “planetary security is primarily related to the issue of organic and biological contamination of people and robots during space research.” That is, it is necessary to ensure that terrestrial organisms and organic components do not intentionally or accidentally hit other planets or other bodies of the Solar System, and that all ships that return from space to Earth with samples of any extra-terrestrial organic matter should be monitored.

The sacred tooth relic of the Buddha and the procession of the Buddha's perahera.

History Of The Esala Perahara

Buddhist Literature unveils various pageants and festivities held in great honour of Lord Buddha.The perahara pagent concept became popular during the reign of Emperor Asoka of India.Kandy Perahara pageant really pageant which displays traditional customs.

Majority of them been intermingled with the Buddhist and Hindu religious customs. The procession of the Sacred Tooth Relic commenced during the regin of King Keerthi Sri Megawarna (301 BC-238 Bc) From there onwards the Dalada procession was held annually and ceremoniously in Anuradhapura. The Dalada procession and the social traditions are linked so much together,the month of Esala has been named as the procession month,because of Esala feast.

Yet they display and highlight the great value of the Sinhals culture.Most of the customs have taken from on statues stated in the "Dantha Dhathu Charitha" or "Dalada Siritha" (a book on the customs pertaining on the sacred Tooth Relic) Written during the regime of Parakramabahu IV (1302-1326) of Kurunagala.

The Earth's people: will the concept be true in the future?

Today people  living on the earth live in different countries.they  are divided into races,  religions and  languages. they  also live in a way that is  culturally ,politically, socially and economically.
In this way ,the divided person  demonstrates, his power against one another ,destroying each other.

China does not accept America  as the world power. Russia is thought  of  as a strong  state in the world about the size and identity.
India and China are trying to show how they are a better nation with economic strength and lifestyle.
japan and most of the advanced  countries in Europe think this.

Also,same countries  claim to have developed  in culture and the language. people who  produce certain statements  on different variations, but who are the same kind  of  people.

Heatwaves that kill, even healthy people within hours.

If warming is not tackled, levels of humid heat that can kill within hours will affect millions across south Asia within decades, analysis finds

Extreme heatwaves that kill even healthy people within hours will strike parts of the Indian subcontinent unless global carbon emissions are cut sharply and soon, according to new research.

Even outside of these hotspots, three-quarters of the 1.7bn population – particularly those farming in the Ganges and Indus valleys – will be exposed to a level of humid heat classed as posing “extreme danger” towards the end of the century.

The new analysis assesses the impact of climate change on the deadly combination of heat and humidity, measured as the “wet bulb” temperature (WBT). Once this reaches 35C, the human body cannot cool itself by sweating and even fit people sitting in the shade will die within six hours.

The revelations show the most severe impacts of global warming may strike those nations, such as India , whose carbon emissions are still rising as they lift millions of people out of poverty.

Is the president the prospect of a clean government ?

   This idea is conceived in the statements made by the president in these days. 

It  is a pity that president  Maithripala  sirisena  is engaged in a principled politics accepting  anyone  in this country.

It is significant that, even before and after the presidential election . it will continue without any change. he is criticized, for being unprincipled.individuals and a team.

The intelligent  people of this country are well aware that  a political and economic crisis that has arisen today is not the fault of the president .

since there are thieves and fraudsters in the Rajapaksa  government,  it is impossible to cheap the Maithripala Sirisena president's efforts, to remove the government.

It is no secret that his success has contributed greatly to the intelligent people of the country.

after victory he tried to bring in pure rule by bringing all parties together. 

we believe that if you are embarrassed by the  corrupt and into this process, you  will not  hesitate to  remove  them.

It has been revealed that at present Ravi Karunanayake  is involved  in a large scale  financial  fraud related to the central bank bond deal.`

Ghost Town -Bhangara: Most haunted land and terrifying of Asia!

A empty view of Bhangarh Fort which is India's most haunted place ever in history.The Bhangarh Fort build in 17th century surrounding under Aravallis hills in Alwar district of Rajasthan, 90 km far away from Jaipur , 24 Sept, 2015. Due to real ghosts and scary history of the fort city which is reported to be haunted and no one is allowed to remain in the precincts of the fort at night as per a notice board put up by the Archaeological Survey of India at the entrance.The Bhangarh Fort is famous for its story of beautiful Princess Ratnavati and Tantrik ,Wizard of Black Magic he is fell in love with princess during the death of Wizard fort city cursed by him and after few day whole fort and village people were died including Princess since then many paranormal activities seen in fort.

 India is a mystical country, indeed, with its numerous forts, forests and historical sites wrapped in its own unique enigma. One such site is Bhangarh Fort, which is located in Alwar district in Rajasthan. Deemed as one of the most haunted places in the world, Bhangarh fort's haunted stories are bone chilling yet fascinating all at the same time. The legends and stories related to Bhangarh make up for an interesting account.

The Legend of Bhangarh: Many stories and Bhangarh incidents make up the unique tale of this fort. One such myth says that the city of Bhangarh was cursed by the Guru Balu Nath, causing the town's evacuation. Balu Nath cursed the town, saying that the moment the shadows of the palaces touch him, the city shall perish. Ignoring the curse, one of the descendants built the palace to such great heights that it did reach Balu Nath, thus destroying the city of Bhangarh instantaneously.

President Vladimir Putin orders: US diplomatic officials to leave Russia before September.

         The employees of the US Embassy in Moscow were given enough time to leave the country on compassionate grounds, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters, raising parallels to the Russian diplomats’ ejection on New Year’s Eve.

"This is a regular practice," Peskov said. "Demanding such massive downsizing within a term like the one that was given to our diplomats on New Year’s Eve would be inhuman and incorrect." The Kremlin’s spokesman stressed that the provided term until September 1 does not mean there couldn’t be any dialogue in this regard. "No, it doesn’t mean [so]," Peskov said, answering a follow-up question.

The spokesman noted that the decision to expel 755 US Embassy members was taken "because the total number of the whole staff, including diplomats, non-diplomats and people hired on place is about 1,200 now and, as long as it was decided to synchronize the levels [of the number of employees in the diplomatic missions] and there are 450 of them [in Russia], this is just a mathematical calculation." "The issue here concerns not only the diplomats but the staff as a whole," he specified, adding that the American side would decide itself on whom to send back within the set terms.

World's longest' hanging bridge opened near the Swiss town of Zermatt.

A nearly 500m (1,640ft) bridge for hikers billed as the longest hanging pedestrian bridge in the world has opened, near the Swiss town of Zermatt.

The 494m bridge, named the Europabrücke (Europe Bridge), hangs up to 85m above the Grabengufer ravine.

The Zermatt Tourist Board says it is the world's longest, although a 405m bridge in Reutte in Austria hangs 110m higher above the ground.

It replaces a previous bridge that had been damaged by rock falls.

                                                                                The village of Zermatt

The new bridge, whose cables weigh about eight tonnes, is equipped with a system to prevent it from swinging, the Zermatt Tourist Board said.

High leverage is "the source of risks"- China A senior policy maker stressed

A senior policy maker stressed Thursday China should continue its deleveraging process this year, while highlighting the necessity of tackling obvious yet easy to neglect dangers in the economy.
"The course of deleveraging cannot be altered," Yang Weimin, 

deputy head of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economic Affairs, the country's top economic policy-making office, said at a press conference.

High leverage is "the source of risks" and authorities should not allow the economy's leverage ratio to climb further for the sake of supporting growth, Yang told reporters.

He named several areas where systemic risks could arise from, including interbank investment and financing, local government debt and state-owned enterprise (SOE) debt, calling for early measures to deal with them.Left unaddressed, those problems could cause greater damage to the economy, Yang warned.

The relationship between supporting growth and preventing risks must be well handled, even if that means other goals would be compromised, he said.

Pakistani Political Crisis: How International Media Covered

Pakistan has had a long and complicated history of prime ministers. A quick view of the history of the country would prove it; none of the prime ministers to date have held office for an entire parliamentary term. And the history of the country is filled with it all; assassinations, death sentences, coups, dissolving the cabinet and disqualification.

As Nawaz Sharif, the only prime minister who could have completed the entire parliamentary tenure, was disqualified on July 28, 2017, we are compelled to look back on history and remember all his predecessors.

The Pakistan prime minister’s slot is what the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is for Hogwarts – no one finishes their entire term.
Following the assassination of country’s first prime minister, Liaquat Ali Khan in 1951, Khawaja Nizamuddin became the premier. He was dismissed by Governor-General Malik Ghulam Muhammad.

The next to take up the office was Mohammad Ali Bogra, a Bengali politician, who was “forcibly removed” from office by Iskander Mirza.

The concentration of sperm in the ejaculate of men in western countries has fallen by an average of 1.4% a year, leading to an overall drop of just over 52%,

 Does this decrease the growth of human beings?

No researcher ,has even found out how the first man emerged. but scientists, researchers have come forward  to describe  the emergence of the system and the changing mode of production.
Darvin's evolution is not suitable for the present.
If humans evolved from animal evolution . 
How could the development of today's human throught be  so high? 
Thinking where does not each person dwell in the same place on earth?
Or is man designed or developed by other advanced creatures?
If  it had been created , the existence of life itself was, confirmed the process,of growth, and another, organism was created  from , the sexual process of men and women.
In the future , if this process  changes. will the human organism be eliminated  from  the earth?
otherwise,a different will be created behind it ?
Is this happening just as a result of  such a process?

Reasons for the ‘shocking’ drop are unclear, say researchers, and represent a huge and neglected area of public health

Sperm counts among men have more than halved in the last 40 years, research suggests, although the drivers behind the decline remain unclear.

what Near-Death experience you will have to face?

How can you actually express the moments of death?
Everyone will have to face this experience We thought that this was the end of the person, but we still found it not.

The world studies these and publishes statements in various people's near -death experience.Are they all true ? Who are those who are genuinely mentally aware ? How do they see death ? How does a person experience the death of an average person, and a person's development of mental thinking?

Let's look at these things in the future.
This article is based on information gathered by ordinary people.

Around eighty percent of the people who experienced near-death states claimed that their lives were forever changed by what happened to them. On closer examination, though, a pattern of surprising dimensions emerged. Experiencers were not returning with just a renewed zest for life and a more spiritual outlook. They were evidencing specific psychological and physiological differences on a scale never before faced by them. And this was true with child experiencers, as well as with teenagers and adults.

Selling Hambanthota Port: China can handle the Hambanthota Part without the Sri lanka Government Permission.

To get  out of the temporary economic crisis, these measures are being taken.

But the peoples  of  this country cannot be perverted by a crisis that cannot be resolved in the future.

How  for back are we as  a country  that could not be rectified  in the wrong way taken by the politicians in the past.

It addresses concerns raised by some countries: Minister
Sri Lanka’s Cabinet on Tuesday cleared a revised deal for the Chinese-built port in Hambantota, the government said. The modified agreement, the government added, was more profitable to Sri Lanka and also addressed security concerns raised by other countries.

Speaking to reporters here, Ports Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe said the Cabinet gave final approval to sell 70% stake in the southern port to the state-run China Merchants Port Holdings for $1.12 billion. “Some [diplomatic] missions here were worried that the port would be used as a military naval base. As per the revised agreement Sri Lanka will manage the port security,” he said.

The world’s most lifelike mechanical sex servant.

She  does it all: Robotic head  is covered in silicone skin.
A SEX doll company is making a Terminator-style robot head which can speak, smile and even sing – but only in Chinese.

The prototype of the DS Doll Robotic Head, which is coated in silicone “skin” and is controlled by a smartphone and a PlayStation controller, is the world’s most lifelike mechanical sex servant.
The model, made by Doll Sweet Dolls and EX Doll, has a “stunningly beautiful” face and can listen and answer questions using sophisticated voice recognition software.
The company is hoping to launch a crowdfunding campaign to help produce an English and Japanese version.
Despite not having a rotatable neck, the robot head will fit all the company’s other doll bodies, which have flexible limbs allowing them to “move as a real person.”

Paul Lumb, head of Cloud Climax, says the prototype is the “Bugatti Veyron of VR” and comes with a similarly hefty price tag of around £4,500.

Electric cars: Your interest will take longer.

An easy lifestyle, a clean environment can be expected in the future.

How will I charge an electric car?

The first generation of electric-car buyers have been people with homes where it is easy to plug one in. “The vast majority of Nissan Leaf customers are [families with] 2.4 children, mums and dads, with off-street parking,” said Gareth Dunsmore of Nissan Europe. “Tomorrow that won’t be the case.”

Dunsmore envisages charging points becoming ubiquitous at workplaces, and at shopping centres, railway stations, hotels and cinemas. For longer journeys, rapid chargers that can recharge a car’s battery in 30 minutes will increasingly proliferate across motorway service stations and at conventional refuelling stations.

For drivers living on terraced streets, the answers are not so simple but solutions are beginning to emerge. For example, Kensington and Chelsea council is running a trial with a UK energy company and German firm to add charging sockets to street lamps. 

The former president is awaiting a discussion with the current president.

 Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, along with the "Daily Mirror newspaper", has taken part in a Q & A discussion on Twitter over the prevailing situation in the country.

The following is cited in the report.

Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa said today he was open for discussions with anyone for the sake of the country including President Maithripala Sirisena.

He said this in response to a question asked by Daily Mirror during this morning’s live Twitter Q and A session #AskMR.

When asked whether he was ready to talk to President Sirisena with regard to finding solutions to the current issues in the country, Mr. Rajapaksa said he was open for discussions with anyone.

Nasca Lines Are Signs Of alien arrivals.?

  The lines are drawn in geometric patterns and distinct animal shapes.

As a plane soars over the high desert of southern Peru, the dull pale sameness of the rocks and sand organize and change form. Distinct white lines gradually evolve from tan and rust-red. Strips of white crisscross a desert so dry that it rains less than an inch every year. The landscape changes as lines take shape to form simple geometric designs: trapezoids, straight lines, rectangles, triangles, and swirls. Some of the swirls and zigzags start to form more distinct shapes: a hummingbird, a spider, a monkey.

These are the renowned Nazca lines - subject of mystery for over 80 years. How were they formed? What purpose could they have served? Were aliens involved?

In the future, the social media rules.

  The  Hon, Ranil wickaramasingha , The Prime Minister of  sri lanka, recently that methods of  controlling  the activities of the social media and internet in the country through legal means will be mentioned.

The Prime Minister came up with this statement at the 28th Law Asia Conference in Colombo over the weekend.

“Modern technology society has changed the issues which the legal sector in particular is facing. For example consider the internet, Facebook. If you regulate Face Book and the internet is it a violation of Fundamental Rights?

“Many foreign governments are tackling it especially in the social sector and child welfare. These are the issues which we have to tackle. These are new issues which we have not even thought of,” he said.
