March 5, 20211825 Views

अमेरिका के सबसे पुराने शहरों में से एक है फिलाडेल्फिया। हर पुराने शहर में कुछ डरावनी, भुतहा जगहें मिल ही जाती हैं। जाहिर है कि फिलाडेल्फिया में भी इस तरह की जगहें भरपूर हैं। दरअसल फिलाडेल्फिया में ऐसी तमाम बातें रही हैं जो किसी भुतहा कहानी से जुड़ने के लिए बिलकुल माकूल मानी जाती हैं- जैसे कि भीषण जंगों के मैदान, जानलेवा महामारियां, अबूझ हत्याएं, पुराने और जर्जर होते कब्रिस्तान और खंडहर के तौर पर संरक्षित जेल। लिहाजा एक हॉन्टेड टूर के लिए हमेशा फिलाडेल्फिया एक पसंदीदा जगह रही है। आइए जरा इन रोंगटे खड़े कर देने वाली जगहों में से कुछ की सैर पर हम चलते हैं- बिशप व्हाइट हाउस बिशप व्हाइट हाउस। फोटोः टॉड लैसी बिशप व्हाइट हाउस को इंडिपेंडेंस नेशनल हिस्टोरिक पार्क की सबसे डरावनी इमारत माना जाता है, जहां पार्क के रेंजर्स तक की हवा थोड़ी खराब होने लगती है। अब यह अमेरिकी व्हाइट हाउस की तर...

यह अमेरिका का सबसे निर्जन इलाका है और शायद वहां सबसे रोमांचक भी। यह उन जगहों में से भी है जहां की छवि अमेरिका की पहचान के तौर पर बाकी दुनिया के सामने लंबे समय तक रही यह अमेरिका के सबसे पहाड़ी प्रांत का रास्ता है। यहां 18 पर्वत श्रृंखलाएं हैं। इनके बीच फैली हैं विशाल घाटियां और कुदरत के मनोरम नजारे। इससे होकर गुजरने वाला 287 मील (लगभग 460 किलोमीटर) लंबा रास्ता आम निगाहों को काफी निर्जन व वीरान नजर आ सकता है लेकिन यह रास्ता सैलानी गतिविधियों के लिए भरा-पूरा है। यहां आप गरम पानी के सोतों में नहा सकते हैं, या हजार साल पुराने पुरातात्विक अवशेषों को छान सकते हैं, खाने-पीने के शौकीन हों तो विशालकाय बर्गर का स्वाद ले सकते हैं, अजीबोगरीब चीजों का शौक हो तो यहां के मशहूर शू ट्री पर एकाध जूतों की जोड़ी उछाल सकते हैं, या फिर सौ साल से भी पुराने स्टीम इंजन की ट्रेन पर सवारी कर सकते हैं और चाहें तो ...

January 13, 20211509 Views

With more than 1,000 breweries statewide, it’s safe to say that the craft beer movement in California is officially booming. From the state’s northernmost stands of coast redwoods, south to the sun-scorched Mojave Desert, the craft beer movement has reached every corner of the Golden State. The phenomenon didn’t happen overnight. Anchor Brewing (San Francisco) and Sierra Nevada (Chico) kicked things into gear in the 70s and 80s, and now you’ll find vibrant beer scenes in San Diego, Orange County, Sonoma County, Sacramento, and elsewhere. The sunny south becomes a magnet for craft beers The craft brewery explosion came pretty early to San Diego, and the San Diego Brewers Guild now has more than 130 breweries.

Musk’s SpaceX to stage key high-altitude Starship test

December 9, 2020553 Views

Elon Musk’s SpaceX was set to launch a prototype of its Mars rocket Starship in its highest-altitude “hop” test from the space company’s Texas facilities on Tuesday, a key trial for a rocket system that Musk hopes will land humans on the moon and eventually Mars. Musk sought to tamp down expectations for Starship’s first suborbital flight using three of its new Raptor rocket engines, predicting a 30% chance of success in reaching an altitude of more than 40,000 feet. That would be vastly higher than the vehicle’s first two tests at altitudes of 500 feet. The sun sets as SpaceX prepares their super heavy-lift Starship SN8 rocket for a test launch this week at the company's facilities in Boca Chica, Texas, U.S. December 1, 2020.

For almost two decades the first week of December in Miami has been synonymous with artists, art fairs, champagne-soaked parties, pop up installations, an explosion of new graffiti, and traffic gridlock. But the Florida city looks far different this year. After the coronavirus pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to announce in September that it was canceling this year’s fair, the galaxy of satellite fairs around the city followed suit. Art Basel is typically one of the busiest times for Miami, and the jolt could not have come at a worse time for this tourism-and-hospitality driven city hit hard by COVID-19. An art installations is showcased as part of Art Basel amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Miami Beach, Florida, U.S., December 4, 2020. REUTERS/Maria Ale...
