10 Reasons Why Men Should Quit Watching Po*n

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago

In 2007, Ian Woodall, a British climber, returned to Everest to bury the bodies of three climbers he passed on his way to the summit.

One of the climbers, a woman named Francys Arsentiev, was still alive when Woodall reached her during his initial ascent.

Her first words to him were"don't leave me behind."

The grim reality, though, is that Woodall could not have done anything for her without jeopardizing his own life or the lives of his team members.

He was forced to leave her to perish alone.

Climbing Mount Everest has become much safer over the past decade thanks to advances in technology and climbing gear.

Satellite phones allow a climber to stay in contact with base camp to get constant updates on weather systems in the area. A better understanding of exactly what kind and how much gear to take has also caused the death toll to drop dramatically.

She was alone on a mountain shelf when they found her - a frozen, pathetic figure just 800ft below the summit of Everest.

When they eventually reached her she barely had the strength left to speak. But Francys Arsentiev's last words would stay with them for the rest of their lives: "Don't leave me," she begged. "Please don't leave me." In the treacherous terrain of the world's highest mountain, and in temperatures below minus 30C, they had little choice. They stayed with her for as long as they could before abandoning their summit attempt and heading back down for help. In their hearts, however, they knew they were leaving her to die. Scroll down for more .

 By the time another climbing party got to her, Fran had already succumbed to the cold. No-one could help her now. It was too dangerous even to contemplate carrying her lifeless body down the North Face from its precarious position on the loose rock shards that formed the steep mountain shelf. And so, for the next nine years, the 40-year-old American would remain a macabre beacon of death at 28,000ft - clearly visible to the many adventurers who would subsequently take the same route to the top. Even today, the bright purple of her climbing jacket still stands out against the snow. The dark-haired young mother still lies in the same, grotesquely distorted position she was in when the other climbers found her, secured by a rope and largely preserved by the sub-zero temperatures. But now - finally - she is about to be afforded some dignity. The British-born climber who had to leave her in May 1998 has gone back to Everest to bury her. Ian Woodall is leading a new expedition to provide a poignant last chapter to a tragedy that continues to haunt the mountain into the next millennium. He will wrap her in an American flag, lay her to rest within sight of the summit she had earlier conquered, and cover her with a cairn of stones and boulders to shield her body from view.

Then he will speak at her graveside - and bring to a close the promise that he and his climbing partner Cathy O'Dowd made that day to do everything they could for her. Yesterday from a camp more than 17,000ft up the North side of Everest, the 50-year-old mountaineer told me by satellite telephone: "It's something I felt I wanted to do, not something I felt obliged to do. We went back for the summit a year later and we could see her perfectly clearly when we began to come down. "I was a little startled to see her still there... until it dawned on me that the mountain would never really consume her. It would always keep her there like that. "At the back of my mind, I hoped someone would eventually do something for her. But of course, the only reason anyone would be up that high is if they're on the way up to the summit or on the way down. "In either case, you really can't devote the hours and the workload required to bury a corpse. "It needed a dedicated mission by someone like me, who's been to the summit a couple of times already and isn't focussed simply on getting to the top. "This will probably be my last expedition, so I thought it would be appropriate to give something back. "It's not good that there are bodies lying on the mountain in full view of other climbers - not good for mountaineering, not good for the families of the people who've died here." Fran, from Telluride, Colorado, died after securing a place in the record books as the first American woman to conquer Everest without supplementary oxygen. She is believed to have collapsed or fallen just below the so-called First Step, some 800ft into her descent, as she climbed down with her Russian husband Serguei Arsentiev. He stayed at her side for a time but is assumed to have died on a fruitless mission to get help, or slid down into the Rongbuk glacier and perpetual obscurity. Mr Woodall and his team came across her as they were attempting to reach the summit. "It's fairly well documented where certain bodies are to be found on Everest - but according to the records, there wasn't supposed to be a body there. Then she moved. Once we knew she was alive, everything changed. We did everything we could for her but everyone knew she didn't really stand a chance. I don't think there's any question we could have done more or less than we did." Scroll down for more .

He and Cathy O'Dowd tried for more than an hour to keep Fran conscious and see if they could move her before deciding it was hopeless. When she slipped into silence they abandoned their climb and descended towards Base Camp, knowing, in reality, that they could not raise help in time to save her. Mr Woodall, a South African with an Army background and a string of climbing achievements behind him, faced a wave of criticism afterwards for effectively leaving Fran to die.

Yesterday he insisted it would have been impossible to save her, adding: "There are things in life that just don't work out in the way you would like them to work out. You can only do what you're able to do at the time. "You can't live in hindsight. Unfortunately, in the risk aversion society we live in today, you're not allowed to have accidents. There's always got to be someone to blame." Likewise Cathy, who later married Mr Woodall and wrote a book about her Everest experiences, said: "Anyone who becomes immobile on a mountain as remote and large as Everest is probably going to die. "I'd had friends who didn't come back, but I'd never watched anyone die. She was dead when the other teams came upon her the following morning." Cathy chose not to go on the burial expedition but said: "I think covering over the body is as much about the living as the dead. "There's an enormous lack of dignity in her circumstances. It's almost like a road sign on the mountain - when you get to Fran, turn left. That's not good for anybody." Fran, who had a young son, Paul, is one of three bodies Mr Woodall is hoping to bury. One is an Indian who was among three to perish in a 1996 storm; the other is David Sharp, who died last May after apparently running out of oxygen on his lone descent from the summit. If he can locate the 34-year-old climber, Mr Woodall plans to shield him only minimally with stones to allow the option of returning his body at some stage to his family in Guisborough, North Yorkshire, should they wish. Completing all three burials will be governed by the weather - and whether Mr Woodall and his two sherpas have the means and stamina to carry out the operation at such high altitude, and in such difficult terrain. He is chronicling his mission on the internet at taoofeverest.com and plans to write a book. "A lot can go wrong at 8,600 metres," he said. But it would be nice to finish one's expedition career by doing something for somebody else, rather than chasing a record or a summit. At least this way we can give everybody back some dignity."

Reasons Why There Is A High Rate Of Divorce

Marriage is not as the way it used to be. Compare today's marriage to when our parents and grandparents got wedded.   D ivorce is now on the rise. People have come to accept it as an almost inevitable part of life. The fear of going through a divorce has been mitigated. Note also that people still marry for the very same reasons that older generations for, but the rate of divorce today is of increase and the following are the reasons among others 1. Men are Sexists and Chauvinistic in nature Most men are sexists and chauvinistic in nature therefore making them selfish and loathe independent women. They make denigrating remarks about women and you don't expect a serious, logical and virtuous woman to remain with such a rètarded being. Women in other hand, are peace loving and cool but their anti-feminism husband keeps antagonising them and they don't have an option but divorce him. There's no ONE reason for the high rates of marriage failure these days. Rather, I believe...

Place to touch to make her be in sex mood

From her head all the way to her toes, here are 10 of the top erog enous zones to turn her on: Her Head Have you ever been on the receiving end of a scalp massage and felt those warm fuzzy tingles from head to toe? That’s because the skin on the top of your head is loaded with nerves that are extremely sensitive to the touch. Sti mulating the scalp in the right way releases a flood of feel-good ho rmones like serotonin and oxytocin. It also increases blood flow, not just to her brain (the largest s ex org an, remember?) but all over her body.Next time you and your partner are kissing or cuddling, open your fi ngers wide and run them slowly through her hair, lightly stroking her scalp with your fi ngertips. Start behind her ears, at the base of the head, and circulate to the front, kind of like you’re lathering shampoo into your hair. Scalp massages are both soothing and sensual: They help release tension, and get her in the mood for other sti mulating activities. Her Ears ...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

Male Child Is Better Than A Female Child

Here is The Real Reasons Why A Male Child Is Better Than A Female Child A male child is more important because with a male child you can assure that he goes to school because you think that tomorrow he will be the to help in you financial need but a female child you think that in the future that she will go to her husband house and stay And she will leave alone for your needs It true because family send children to school both female and male but female use there’s to buy make up and other assesories but male child would take care of the female and family and also pay for her bride price so to me I think male child is better and am not descriminating Who is the head of the family? The answer is the father and a father is a male child for the parents. A male child retains the fathers name and he brings mony for the family. He is the person who will pay the bride price for him to marry a wife In many cultures, a male child is more important than a female child. A male child w...

From Chantal Uren. This is my story

From Chantal Uren. This is my story... My name is Chantal, I'm a 37 year old Police Officer from Western Australia and I had a severe reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. To the people who threatened me with defamation charges and disciplinary action for telling my story, I am disappointed. I'm disappointed that your priority is to silence me for your own ego and agenda rather than ask if I'm ok and offer me any help! At no time have you asked if I'm ok or cared for a second about my health or welfare. You decided that putting me under more stress, when that stress can cause further risk to my life is your priority. It makes me question humanity and how any person can have such a lack of empathy towards another.  If defamation and disciplinary action is what you deem suitable than I'm not afraid. I've done nothing wrong, I did what you wanted and look what happened. No one has the right to take away anyone else's experiences or tell them how they sho...

Inside The Extraterrestrial Tale Of The 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter

Inside The Extraterrestrial Tale Of The 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter On August 21, 1955, the Kelly-Hopkinsville UFO incident terrified the people of western Kentucky and introduced the world to "little green men." Around 11 p.m. on the night of August 21, 1955, eight people showed up at the Hopkinsville, Kentucky police station in a state of panic. "We need help," one gasped. "We've been fighting them for nearly four hours." They quickly explained that the "them" were aliens — creatures with glowing yellow eyes, silvery skin, and long arms who had swooped in from out of the sky. While it may have sounded outlandish, multiple witnesses soon corroborated the story. To this day, the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter remains one of the most compelling stories of an alien encounter on record. See the photos and go inside the bizarre encounter and how it inspired both "E.T." and "Gremlin” by clicking the link in our bio. Around 11 PM...

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest, but he couldn't have done it without Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Born in the Himalayas, Tenzing Norgay grew up revering the "mighty mountain" of Everest and the "goddess of the summit." Though his father gave him a name that means "wealthy fortunate follower of religion" in hopes that he would become a monk, Norgay dreamt of being a mountaineer. He ran away from home multiple times to hike among the peaks, and eventually joined his first official mountaineering expedition at age 20 in 1935. By the time he was 40 years old, he had spent more time on the face of Mount Everest than any other person alive. ⁠ ⁠ So, when a British expedition was looking for local guides in an attempt to reach the summit, they turned to Norgay. And on May 29, 1953, Norgay and New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary became the first peopl...

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it In 1975, a disabled Vietnam vet named Oliver Sipple saved President Gerald Ford from an assassin. Although Sipple was hailed a hero at first, the tide quickly turned when the media outed him as a gay man. Not only did the exposure of his homosexuality overshadow his heroic act, it also led to his family essentially disowning him. Years later, Sipple's lifeless body was found next to a cheap bottle of bourbon in his apartment. He'd been dead for nearly two weeks before anyone found him.
