October 8, 20201703 Views

चेक राजधानी प्राग में सुंदर इमारतों की कमी नहीं है। यहां के गिरजाघरों की वास्तु कला बेजोड़ है। यहां एक गिरजाघर ऐसा है जिसका तहखाना ही उसकी सबसे बड़ी खासियत है। कार्लोवो नमेस्ति शहर का सबसे बड़ा स्क्वायर है जहां से थोड़ी सी दूरी पर रेसोलोवा स्ट्रीट पर कैथेड्रल चर्च ऑफ सेंट साइरिल और मेथोडियस की भव्य इमारत है। स्थानीय लोग इस चर्च को पैराशूटिश्ट चर्च भी कहते हैं। यह गिरजाघर बेरोक स्थापत्य कला का खूबसूरत नमूना है लेकिन अधिकांश लोग यहां इसके तहखाने को देखने के लिए आते हैं जिस पर गोलियों के निशान है। इन गोलियों के निशान के पीछे चेक इतिहास का एक गौरवपूर्ण अध्याय छिपा हुआ है। 75 वर्ष पहले, 18 जून 1942 को इसी तहखाने में सात चेक और स्लोवाक वायुसैनिकों ने बर्बर नाजी हुकूमत के खिलाफ अपनी अंतिम लड़ाई लड़ी थी। ये वायुसैनिक ऑपरेशन एन्थ्रोपोइड में शामिल थे जो बोहेमिया और...

In Alaska’s annual battle of heavyweights, a salmon-chomping bruin named 747 – like the jetliner – has emerged as the most fabulously fat. The bear, one of more than 2,200 brown bears roaming Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, was victorious on Tuesday after a week of frenzied online voting in what has become an international sensation: Fat Bear Week. Winner 747 was a worthy champion, the park said in a statement. “This year he really packed on the pounds, looking like he was fat enough to hibernate in July and yet continuing to eat until his belly seemed to drag along the ground by late September,” the park said. There couldn’t have been a more epic matchup than the championship face-off between two aptly named bears: 747 and Chunk, aka Bear 32. In the end, 747 pulled ahea...
