K2: 2nd Highest Mountain in the World



K2: 2nd Highest Mountain in the World


Elevation: 28,253 feet (8,612 meters)
Prominence: 13,179 feet (4,017 meters)
Location:
Karakoram Range, Pakistan/China, Asia
Coordinates: 35°52′57″ N / 76°30′48″ E
First Ascent: Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli (
Italy), July 31, 1954 

 

K2, located on the Pakistan-Chinese border, is the 2nd highest mountain in the world; Pakistan's highest mountain; and the world's 22nd most prominent mountain.

Name Given by British Surveyor

The name K2 was given in 1852 by British surveyor T.G. Montgomerie with "K" designating the Karakoram Range and "2" since it was the 2nd peak listed. During his survey, Montgomerie, standing on Mt. Haramukh 125 miles to the south, noted two prominent peaks to the north, calling them K1 and K2. While he kept native names, he found that K2 did not have a known name.

 

Also Named Mount Godwin-Austen

Later K2 was named Mount Godwin-Austen for Haversham Godwin-Austen (1834-1923), an early British surveyor and explorer. Godwin-Austen climbed 1,000 meters up a spur of Masherbrum above Urdukas and fixed the approximate height and position of K2 from there, according to Catherine Moorehead, the author of The K2 Man (And His Molluscs), a biography of Godwin-Austen. This alternate name was never recognized.

 Balit Name for K2

A name for K2 is Chogori, derived from Balti words chhogo ri, meaning "large mountain." The Chinese call the mountain Qogir meaning "Great Mountain," while Balti locals call it Kechu.


Nickname is "The Savage Mountain"

K2 is nicknamed the "Savage Mountain" for its severe weather. It is typically climbed in June, July, or August. K2 has never been climbed in winter.

1902: First Attempt to Climb K2

British climbers Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), an occultist and hedonist, and Oscar Eckenstein (1859-1921) led an expedition of six climbers that made the first attempt to climb K2, from March to June, 1902. The party spent 68 days on the mountain, with only 8 clear days, attempting the northeast ridge. Spending two months at high altitude, the party made 5 summit attempts. The last one began on June 8 but 8 days of bad weather defeated them and they retreated after a high point of 21,407 feet (6,525 meters). Scraps of expedition clothing were later found below K2 and are displayed at Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder, Colorado.

1909: First Attempt on Abruzzi Spur

Italian climber Prince Luigi Amedeo (1873-1933), the Duke of Abruzzi, led an expedition to K2 in 1909. His party attempted the southeast ridge, the Abruzzi Spur, reaching an elevation of 20,505 feet (6,250 meters) before deciding that the climb was too difficult. The ridge is now the usual way that most climbers ascend K2. Before departing, the Duke said that the mountain would never be climbed.

1939: First American Attempt on K2

Fritz Wiessner, a great German climber transplanted to the US, led a 1939 American expedition that set a new world altitude record by reaching 27,500 feet on the Abruzzi Spur. The party was 656 feet from the summit before turning around. Four team members were killed.

1953: Famous Ice Axe Arrest Saves 5

One of the most famous events in American climbing history occurred during a 1953 expedition led by Charles Houston. A 10-day storm trapped the team at 25,592 feet. Abandoning a summit attempt, the climbers attempted to save 27-year-old Art Gilkey, who had developed altitude sickness, by descending to a lower altitude. At one point during their desperate descent, Pete Schoening saved five falling climbers by arresting their fall with the rope and his ice axe plunged behind a boulder. The ice axe is displayed at the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum in Golden, Colorado.

1977: Second Ascent by Japanese

The peak's 2nd ascent came on August 9, 1977, 23 years after K2's first ascent, by a Japanese team led by Ichiro Yoshizawa. The team also included Ashraf Aman, the first Pakistani climber to summit K2.

1978: First American Ascent

The first American ascent was in 1978. A strong team led by James Whittaker ascended a new route up the peak's Northeast Ridge.

Most Difficult 8,000-Meter Peak

K2 is one of the most difficult of the fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, offering technical climbing, severe weather conditions, and high avalanche danger. As of 2014, over 335 climbers have reached K2's summit, while at least 82 have died.

1986: 13 Climbers Die on K2

1986 was a tragic year on K2 with 13 climbers dying. Five climbers died in a severe storm between August 6 and August 10. Eight other climbers died in the preceding 6 weeks. Deaths were by avalanche, falling, and rockfall. The climbers killed by the storm were part of a group cobbled together from several failed expeditions. Three of the climbers reached the top on August 4. During the descent they met up with 4 other climbers and stayed at 26,000 feet where they were trapped in a storm. Five climbers died while only two survived.

Kaltenbrunner Climbs K2 without Extra Oxygen

As of 2013, 12 women have summitted K2, but four died on the descent.  On August 23, 2011, Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner reached the summit of K2, becoming the first woman to climb all 14 of the 8,000-meter mountains without using supplemental oxygen. Kaltenbrunner also became the second woman to climb the 8,000ers.

2008: 11 Climbers Die on K2

In August 2008, 11 climbers died on the upper slopes of K2 after an avalanche caused by a fallen ice serac either killed them outright or isolated them above The Bottleneck, a steep ice couloir.


K2 has High Fatality Rate

The fatality rate on K2 is 27%. If you attempt K2 you have a 1 in 4 chance of dying. Prior to the 2008 tragedy, of the 198 climbers who summitted the peak, 53 died on K2. That is three times the 9% fatality rate on Mount Everest. K2 is, next to Annapurna, the second most dangerous 8,000-meter peak.

 



  Books About K2
K2, having its share of epic ascents, is also a mountain of literature. Some of the best writing about the trials of mountaineering have come from gripping adventures on the Savage Mountain. Here are some books that I recommend if you want to read more about K2.

 K2: Triumph and Tragedy by Jim Curran. The summer of 1986, nine expeditions attempt K2. 27 climbers reach the summit, but 13 die on the savage mountain. Jim Curran writes a gripping account of that bittersweet summer of success and death.

K2: The 1939 Tragedy by Andrew J. Kaufman and William L. Putnam. An account of the controversial 1939 American expedition that put two climbers within 800 feet of the summit and the subsequent deaths of 4 climbers.

The Last Step: The American Ascent of K2 by Rick Ridgeway. A riveting account by expedition member Rick Ridgeway about the successful 1978 American ascent of K2. The book details the personal

K2: The Price of Conquest by Lino Lacedelli and Giovanni Cenacchi. The true story about the 1st ascent of K2 by its Italian victor, who tells about the lies and deception that allowed him to reach the summit without Walter Bonatti. A controversial revealing story about pride, ambition, and guilt.
dramas, including a love triangle, as well as the epic conclusion of a new route.

Poetry and its 50 Definitions


What is poetry and its 50 definitions
       Why is it that everyone can identify poetry, but no one can define it? No matter how comprehensive the description, there is always a poem that doesn’t quite fit the given parameters. And yet, despite its many forms and styles, many people have a firm idea that they do or don’t like poetry. This is often based on exposure to a very few examples, and often in a coercive setting (i.e. school!). What kind of poetic expression speaks to you? Is it possible that one you haven’t met yet will do the trick?

         Below is a list of definitions of poetry that I’ve come across, in no particular order. No. 50 is my own definition. Please feel free to use Comments to suggest others—your own or anyone else’s (please only give definitions of “poetry” or “poem”—not “poet” or other related items!). Ultimately, I’ll compile a resource page with the final results and acknowledge any contributions that usefully expand this list.

·        Poem n. a composition in meter: a composition of high beauty of thought or language and artistic form, in verse or prose: a creation, achievement, etc, marked by beauty or artistry.
·        Poetry is emotion put into measure.
·        Poetry is the language of the imagination and the passions.
·        … not to transmit thought but to set up in the reader’s sense a vibration corresponding to what was felt by the writer—is the peculiar function of poetry.
·        Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement.
·        Poetry is a rhythmical form of words which express an imaginative-emotional-intellectual experience of the writer’s…in such a way that it creates a similar experience in the mind of his reader or listener.
·        Poetry is the spontaneous outflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origins from emotion recollected in tranquility.
·        (Poetry is) literature in metrical form: any communication resembling poetry in beauty or the evocation of feeling.
·        Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.
·        Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.
·        Poetry is man’s rebellion against being what he is.
·        (Poetry is) a kind of ingenious nonsense.
·        (Poetry is) a literary expression in which words are used in a concentrated blend of sound and imagery to create an emotional response.
·        Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
·        A poem begins with a lump in the throat, a home-sickness or a love-sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where the emotion has found its thought and the thought has found the words.
·        Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
·        A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.
·        Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.
·        Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
·        Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.
·        (Poetry) is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
·        Poetry is the deification of reality.
·        Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get; they’re things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you.
·        Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
·        Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
·        Good poetry seems too simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.
·        Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
·        (Poetry is) texts in rhythmic form, often employing rhyme and usually shorter and more concentrated in language and ideas than either prose or drama.
·        Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
·        Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
·        Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing.
·        Poetry is basically anything that calls itself a poem.
·        Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.
·        Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
·        Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
·        Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.
·        (Poetry is) an imaginative response to experience reflecting a keen awareness of language. Its first characteristic is rhythm, marked by regularity far surpassing that of prose. Poetry’s rhyme affords an obvious difference from prose. Because poetry is relatively short, it is likely to be characterized by compactness and intense unity. Poetry insists on the specific and the concrete.
·        Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth.
·        Poetry should… strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
·        Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
·        Poetry: the best words in the best order.
·        The distinction between historian and poet is not in the one writing prose and the other verse… the one describes the thing that has been, and the other a kind of thing that might be. Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are of the nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.
·        Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.
·        Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.
·        Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.
·        There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing.
·        Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
·        Poetry is certainly something more than good sense, but it must be good sense at all events; just as a palace is more than a house, but it must be a house, at least.
·        The poem is a little myth of man’s capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see—it is, rather, a light by which we may see—and what we see is life.
·        Poetry is an attempt to capture the essence of the chord struck in the poet by an instant of insight, in such a way that the same music will sound in the soul of the reader.


Harappa and Mohenjo-Dero: The Ancient Civilization Near Indus Valley Pakistan


Harappa and Mohe-Darnjoo







In 1856, a group of British railroad engineers uncovered an ancient and advanced civilization. The engineers were laying tracks through the Indus River Valley in present day Pakistan. They searched the area for stone to make ballast. Ballast is crushed rock placed around railroad tracks to drain water from the path of the train. The engineers found bricks that seemed very old, but were formed exactly alike. The local people told the engineers of the ruins of an ancient city made of the same bricks. The engineers soon realized that the bricks were part of one of the earliest advanced civilizations in history.
Archaeologists later discovered more than 1000 settlements along the banks of the Indus River. We don’t know what those ancient people called the cities they lived in, but we now refer to the two largest as Harappa, after a nearby village, and Mohenjo Daro, a local term that means “hill of the dead.”

Harappa and Mohenjo Daro were expertly planned cities that flourished more than 4500 years ago. The cities were built with a grid pattern of wide, straight streets. Thick walls surrounded the cities. Many people lived in sturdy brick houses that had as many as three floors. Some houses had bathrooms and toilets that connected to the world’s first sewers. A system of canals provided a reliable source of water for growing wheat and barley. There is also evidence that people herded sheep, cattle and goats.


The ancient people of the Indus River Valley had a highly advanced knowledge of mathematics and a sophisticated system of weights and measures. For example, the bricks they built with–even those used in different cities–were the same size. This suggests that the cities may have had the same government. Clay tablets indicate that the people of the Indus River Valley developed a writing system that may be even older than Sumerian writing.
Archaeologists have also found evidence of musical instruments, toys and games, and pottery. The people of the Indus River Valley were very interested in cleanliness. Excavators have uncovered evidence of combs, soaps, and medicine. Archaeologists found a gravesite with the remains of people whose teeth had been drilled, so the cities may have practiced a primitive form of dentistry.
The Indus River Valley cities traded with places as far away as Mesopotamia. The people made jewelry from stones. Traders also sold cotton cloth and hard wood from the teak trees that grew in the valley.
The a ncient cities along the Indus River Valley may have been home to more than five million people, but the civilization went into decline about 1700BCE.
What happened to the Indus River Valley cities remains a mystery, and the clues left behind provide many possible explanations.
The people of the Indus Valley cities may have unintentionally destroyed their environment. They may have overgrazed their land or exhausted their soil. There is evidence that the Indus Valley people cut down the forests in their region. In addition to leaving the people without wood for building or fuel, the lack of forest cover could have caused severe flooding.
It is also possible the same moving tectonic plates that created the Himalayas may have caused a devastating earthquake, or the people may have been defeated by another culture.

What we know about the Indus civilization is still evolving. Archaeologists have excavated only a fraction of the many cities and settlements of the region. We have not yet deciphered their writing, but if we do, we may learn their form of government, their religious beliefs, and the social structure of their society. In time, we may understand why the civilization developed, how they thrived for more than a millennium, and what became of the ancient people of the Indus River Valley.

Beauty of the beast

Beauty of the beast

 

 

 

 


Beauty of the beast

 

             In the delineation of somebody’s real life it is difficult to predict and how can anyone if 

our protagonist were a rape victim, a child of murdered parents, the mother of a kidnapped

 son, an individual infected with a fatal disease; my list is endless. And with such a commotion 

going on my mind, I met this girl, my friend, for the first time. With a swift goodbye, she

 separated from a guy and then turned towards the side facing me; few tiny droplets were

 emerging from her really sore eyes and quickly tricking across her cheek thus creating route 

for new ones. I was perplexed. When closer, I asked her, “Something wrong?”

My sudden interrogation may have startled her for she tottered, regained her balance and 
spoke, “We had been together for years and landed up for our degree in the same place too. 
But suddenly he has started feeling he is better off without me. He doesn't want to be with me 
anymore”.
”Is that even a reason?” I continued, “Hit him on the face, will u? It’s unfair”.
She shot a weak smile and spoke, “It just taught me not to let people easily in my life. Love is a 
lovely thing. If it for me, I’m certain to find the right person. ” I frowned.
Later that month I discovered the girl was brought up solely up by her widowed mother. “My 
father was a noble person, left for heaven. My mother could have never figured out how strong 
she was until I became her responsibility. She became an inspiration later, for the women of my
 place, who think they are vulnerable and repressed. Everything happens for a reason, you 
see.”
One day when she was sick, “What can this good for? “I inquired.
She murmured, “Well the effects of my antibiotics shall last this month so I can give my exams 
without any fear of viruses.” I laughed my head off. She was right.
When there was a power cut the night before our exams, for her it meant, it is an indication to 
be sincere and be prepared for exams early and not wait till the last moment. That night was 
meant to be to be spent resting.
“How about devising strategies for surviving tonight?” I interrupted, “Oh!” and with the wicked 
smirk, she withdrew several candles from her drawer, “Reward for being ordered to leave work 
late during Diwali.” We survived the night.
Another day she entered class with a fresh set of bruises and casually stated that she was 
inches close to being hit by a car but luck was on her side. In fact, it was a good day for the 
driver as he slowed down was saved from colliding with another vehicle with no horns!
“And this contusion is a blessing, of course.” I said in a sardonic tone. “Aren't u ever tired?” I 
finally asked.
She was silent but she knew. I didn't elucidate. “I don’t want to be, ever, and I am thankful such 
state never arose. I don’t want to regret and feel sorry. Nobody has a perfect life. I make it 
and control it when it goes astray and if I am unable, I go along with it and greet those 
impediments like they happened for a reason, the answer to which I shall uncover sooner. Only
 death, luck and loss are beyond man’s control. Crying makes nothing easier. So, why don’t I, 
you, make the most that is present, which we have? It’s a pity people take their lives away 
because they know living is more difficult. The times I fail, I cherish my hard work behind it. 
When I lose something, I am content that somebody else, too, must be in need for it and shall
 make a better use of it. The nights I am groaning with pain every month, the kind a girl has to 
go through since her puberty, confronts me with the fact that I am capable of giving life. It is a 
gift. This thought gives me the strength to endure it. Every pain, every struggle has a positive 
face hidden somewhere. All we need to do is just reach for it.”
She left. I came to present. I rang Dad. I apologized for being rude the other day when he said 
he would be too busy to come and see me graduate. He understood. He always does. The sun 
was beaming brightly above the water in the lake where my eyes drifted now. It looked like a
sheath of myriad diamonds was strewn over it. It was indeed a beautiful day!

How to Dress for a Professional Interview




 How to Dress for a Professional Interview

          The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why, in many cases, it is still important to dress professionally for a job interview, regardless of the work environment.
What's the appropriate dress code for an interview? You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. In general, the candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt.
Here's more on what to wear to an interview for professional, casual and start up companies, when you want to make the best impression.

How to Dress for a Professional Interview

Men's Interview Attire
  • Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey)
  • Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit)
  • Belt
  • Tie
  • Dark socks, conservative leather shoes
  • Little or no jewelry
  • Neat, professional hairstyle
  • Limit the aftershave
  • Neatly trimmed nails
Women's Interview Attire
  • Suit (navy, black or dark grey)
  • The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably
  • Coordinated blouse
  • Conservative shoes
  • Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets)
  • No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry
  • Professional hairstyle
  • Neutral pantyhose
  • Light make-up and perfume
  • Neatly manicured clean nails
  • Portfolio or briefcase
Less Formal Interview Attire
When the workplace or the job is less formal, the dress code may be as well. If you're not sure what to wear, it's fine check with the person scheduling the interview. However, it's still important not to dress like a slob. Here are some alternatives:
What Colors to Wear
Wearing the right colors can help convey your confidence, professionalism and your ability to fit into an organization's environment.
Wearing the Right Colors
The rights colors can help convey your confidence, professionalism and your ability to fit into an organization's environment. Below are a few tips for choosing the right colors for your interview attire.
Choose Solids over Patterns
An important rule of thumb is to try not to be remembered for your attire; you want to wear something that allows the interviewer to focus on your skills and qualifications rather than your wacky style. Wearing solid colors helps ensure that your clothes will not distract.
Solid navy, dark gray and black suits and dresses in particular look professional without being distracting. Small patterns, like thin pinstripes, are ok as well; the rule of thumb is to select a pattern that is small enough that it looks like a solid from across a room.
Choose Neutrals over Bright
Again, you do not want to be remembered for your attire; if you wear a very brightly colored suit or dress, you will almost certainly be remembered for your outfit (rather than your job qualifications). Neutral colors - navy, gray, black, and brown - are the best colors for a job interview. White is also an excellent color for a blouse or button-down shirt.
You can certainly add a pop of color to a neutral interview outfit. Pale colors are a great way to add color without appearing too authoritative, and are great for people-friendly jobs such as service positions.
For example, a pale blue blouse under a woman's dark gray suit can subtly soften a look. A splash of bright, bold color (such as a red scarf or tie) conveys authority, and can be great for managerial positions. However, limit the number of brightly colored items to one, and make sure it is not the dominant color of your outfit. No bright orange suits!

 








   Gray is another great neutral color for interview outfits.

.
 Know the Office Environment
Do a bit of research on the company's work environment before your interview. You want to wear colors that show you will fit in with the company's culture. In an office that tends to dress more conservatively, you should definitely stick to neutral, solid colors.
However, in more casual offices, such as some start ups and nonprofit organizations, you can feel comfortable wearing a bit more color. Softer colors (such as a pale blue blouse) in particular work well for more casual offices, because they convey a bit of personality without being overwhelming. If you are applying for a job in fashion, or a sales job at a unique clothing store, you might feel free to be a bit more creative in your coloring to show your sense of style.
If you are in any doubt about the company's culture, it is best to dress conservatively, with neutral, solid colors.
 








  A pop of red can convey just the right amount of passion.


What Different Colors Say
Different colors evoke particular human responses, whether or not we are conscious of them. Below is a list of different colors you might want to wear for an interview, and the emotions they can evoke. Picking the right colors can help you present yourself in a particular way.
Brown - Brown is a neutral color that evokes feelings of calm. It is a great solid, neutral color for any interview.
Blue - Blue, particularly navy, is another great neutral color for interview outfits. Blues convey feelings of calm, trust, and confidence - great qualities for an interviewer to sense in you. Darker blues (like navy) convey authority and confidence. Blue is also many people's favorite color and wearing an interviewer's favorite color will always make a great first impression.
Gray - Gray is another great neutral color for interview outfits. It evokes sophistication and neutrality. Gray is a great color to wear as a suit or dress; it allows you to look powerful, but is not quite as domineering as a black suit or dress.
Black - Black is a very popular color for suits and dresses in interviews. However, black is a very commanding color that conveys a lot of power, authority, and even drama. This is a good color for a job in a conservative environment like a law office, or for an interviewee applying for a high-level executive position. However, black can be a bit overwhelming in a more laid-back office environment, and can make you appear unapproachable. Using black as an accent color (for example, in a scarf or tie) can give you a bit of that sense of authority without being overwhelming.
Red - Red is a bright, powerful color that conveys energy and passion. A pop of red (for example, in a scarf or tie) can convey just the right amount of passion without making you appear too emotional.
White - Crisp and clean, white is a great color for shirts and blouses. The color conveys truth and simplicity, and adds a bit of brightness without being too overwhelming.
Of course, what really matters in an interview are your skills and experience, and how you answer the interviewer's questions. But in a job market where employers must decide between numerous qualified candidates, the right outfit with the right colors can set you apart from the pack.
